 | | chessgames.com: I just checked Keene's delete log to see if that's true. I find he deleted three posts back in June, and two more in September, and that's all for 2013. Just judging by the quantity, it doesn't seem to me that there is any big problem there. |

 | | Domdaniel: <CG> Thank you for the honesty, openness, and candour revealed in this latest debate. Without making any comment on the issues involved, I think your attitude demonstrates just what makes this site so good. |
|
| Dec-17-13 | | TheFocus: Thank you, Daniel. You have the patience of a saint. Saint Daniel. |
|
| Dec-17-13 | | Robed.Bishop: <TheFocus> I think you're finally on your way to becoming an "elite member!" All kidding aside, no one deserves it more than you. (I was careful to avoid "Nobody" lest <Nobody> tries to steal your limelight.) |
|
| Dec-18-13 | | Jim Bartle: OK, I take that back. Keene did not delete that many posts. Those were posts about his plagiarism (not mine). But that does bring up (again) the question of deleted posts. I believe a record of a deleted post should remain, just something like "post deleted by (user name)." |
|
| Dec-18-13 | | hms123: <Jim Bartle> Why don't we have this discussion on your forum? As soon as you open it up, that is. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Someone deleted every post in <JB's> forum. |
|
| Dec-18-13 | | Jim Bartle: Don't hold your breath...
Though that's an interesting idea. A forum for posting comments on subjects which are deleted on other pages. |

 | | Stonehenge: CG should really copy and paste comments to a Deleted Comments Forum before they delete those comments :) |

| | Domdaniel: At this time of year, thanks to the Clue Hunt, the Kibitzer's Café functions in the way that was originally intended -- a space for members to exchange ideas and to communicate with one another. Unfortunately, for the rest of the year the Café is mostly a sort of jukebox. |
|
| Dec-18-13 | | dakgootje: <iSubmarine> It's rather nifty isn't it? Whenever Nuklu is around, I'm at the café multiple times a day. Whereas otherwise.. not.. ever. |

| Dec-18-13 | | Lonnie Lurko: <this user clearly has an agenda and is using inappropriate pages to advertise their blog> Which blog was that? |

| | Domdaniel: <CG should really copy and paste comments to a Deleted Comments Forum before they delete those comments>
I don't know. I rarely delete my posts -- or, indeed, anyone else's. When I do, it is often because of some trivial error, which I then correct with a replacement post. Keeping the originals in such cases would be pointless. |

| | OhioChessFan: Awwwwww, let them suffer a lot longer before giving clues. It won't help anyway. Mwoo hahahahahahahahahahahaha. |

|
| Dec-19-13 | | Lonnie Lurko: I wonder if I could ask again. What blog was Candide1966 advertising? For instance, the posting that was deleted on the Geoff Chandler page - it can still be seen on the Google cache - http://tinyurl.com/o5ez3um
refers to a post made by Mr Chandler not on anybody's blog, but on the English Chess Forum. So I don't see what blog is referred to here or how they were advertising it. |

| | chessgames.com: Honestly, I prefer to not even link to it--not specifically in defense of GM Keene--but because I find the idea of a website dedicated wholly to the purpose of smearing somebody's reputation offensive. However, if you really must know, let me say that the site describes itself as <a comprehensive collection of links and other data concerning the disgraced former player and writer>. Go ahead and google it. |
|
| Dec-19-13 | | Lonnie Lurko: Keenipedia?
I'm not seeing any "smearing somebody's reputation" there. I'm seeing a lot of information about Ray Keene. Doesn't it need to be false to be a smear? |

 | | Tabanus: I must be an idiot. I don't know what an anagram is (though it can be googlarized). I don't understand (and have never solved) any of your Christmas puzzles, and don't even understand their posted solutions. Who are these geniuses? |
|
| Dec-19-13 | | Lonnie Lurko: Or look at this one, for instance (if you can - it took an age to load for me). http://tinyurl.com/pkjbm8b
This, again, doesn't mention the Keenipedia site (not a blog, if you ask me, but definitions may differ). It does however observe that notes to the game have been plagiarised. If the game itself is not the proper place to mention this, where would you propose as an alternative venue? |
|
| Dec-19-13 | | Lonnie Lurko: In fact, if we look at the Google cache for Candide1966's user page http://tinyurl.com/oyd4w73
at a point when six posts survived, it appears that hardly any of these posts involved Keenipedia. Three seem to cite the Streatham and Brixton blog, and involve notes to the games on the pages of which the posts were made. One (as stated above) cited a post the English Chess Forum. That post contains an article in the magazine Private Eye. What reason would there be for taking it down? One cited an article written by Lubomir Kavalek - on the page devoted to Kavalek! What possible good reason could there be for deleting it? |

 | | Phony Benoni: <tabanus> An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. Really good ones are related to the original, usually in a humorous vein, and relatively rare. One of the best in the chess world came when <Tony Miles> titled his autobiography, "It's Only Me." If it's any consolation, I've never solved one of these clues either. Not even close. I did win a prize once when I landed on the right page purely by accident, but I wasn't even trying. |

| | Domdaniel: <Bantu, S.A.>, for example, is an anagram of Tabanus. |
