| Jan-22-15 | | Jim Bartle: Of course he does it routinely on other pages, but it's mind-boggling that <lainulo> would pull his "praise <bulibug>" shtick right on the admin page, as if everyone and his brother didn't know they are the same person. |
|
| Jan-22-15 | | Overgod: I'd like to address the people who insist that ignoring <tolengoy>/<lainulo> aka Glenn Salem is the solution to his trolling: I think that we need to look beyond our personal comforts. There are people who view these pages without having a chessgames account. They read this guy's fanatical nonsense and they see hardly anybody addressing him -- it doesn't look good. On top of this, the individuals he belittles and slanders (such as Carlsen) are not here to defend themselves. It's a moral obligation to strongly discourage this guy from carrying on. Actions speak louder than words.
We haven't seen Glenn in here for a while, and I take at least part of the responsibility for that. Ever since I exposed his chess.com account and laughed at his pathetic chess skills, he's gone unusually quiet and has left these boards. And if he returns, I am simply going to remind him and everybody else that he's a lousy chess player who is in no position to comment on other professional players -- especially as his comments are defamatory, nasty and arguably libelous. When you see somebody on the street being beaten up, the least you can do is call for assistance, if you can't assist yourself. Turning the other way is not the morally right thing to do. And turning the other way on trolling is not a solution. Getting angry and overreacting is not a solution either. But these people need to have their egos brought down. In Glenn's case, I tore his ego down to a point where he no longer found it enjoyable to be confronted with uncomfortable truths in public. If he returns, I will repost his chess.com profile, which will shut him up again. The guy obviously craves attention and believes that W.So's success is a personal success for himself as well. He needs to be strongly discouraged from that attitude, so that he no longer feeds off the wrong energy hurled his way. |

 | | Annie K.: Hmm... speaking of those <people who view these pages without having a chessgames account>... I rather doubt that having them see a member make fun of another member for being a weak chess player, counts as an improvement over standard-issue trolling. The internet wasn't launched yesterday, and trolling and the best ways to deal with it didn't develop yesterday either. By the year 2015, I'd expect most people to understand the situation when they see trolls being ignored. |

Now, it's personal to me.
I think you should say WHAT IT IS or wave with a gesture of good will, adding the games that I came to the forum to ask by them
This Bogoljubov's phrase at the same night I had decided to wait is a daring.
Boy, you're making word games when it should do something concrete. |

 | | Domdaniel: South American elite grandmasters: Najdorf was world class in the 1950s. Mecking, ditto, in the 1970s, playing in the Candidates. And Granda Zuniga has been a very strong GM for 20 years. |

Good Evening.
We submitted a draft for Alekhine - Bogoljubov World Championship Match (1929) on January 12, so I'm just checking to make sure you got that email? It will have been an HTMLIZED draft from the venerable <crawfb5>. If you did get it and you are very busy, no rush from our end. |

(x^2 - x - 1 = 0) If you have *three* wabbits, then Tribonacci is what happens: 1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 9, 17, 31, 57, 95, 183... (x^3 - x^2 - x - 1 = 0) |

| | Annie K.: <Dom> I can't believe he missed the insults in the Game of the Day pun, the Opening of the Day choice, the Player of the Day, *and* the Happy Birthday list! :s <when you have two wabbits> Pardonnez moi, but shouldn't one of them be female for that...? ;p |

| | Domdaniel: <Annie> -- <shouldn't one of them be female for that...? >
Not any more. Any two wabbits may legally procreate. It's up to them to figure out how.
< I can't believe he missed the insults ...> Maybe he didn't. Maybe he's being, yanno, magnanimous. To show us the superiority of South Americans. <Inca Hoots!> Oops. I made a mistake with that Tribonacci sequence. It goes ... 57, 105, 193 ... obviously. |

| | Annie K.: <Inca Hoots!>
Heh! Say, totally coincidentally, has the question of how many people are needed for a conspiracy ever been settled?? ;s |

| | WannaBe: One, if you believe the theory youself. =) |

| Jan-22-15 | | Abdel Irada: Note that <AnnieK> said "conspiracy," not "conspiracy theory." And please: Let's not get <Overgod> started again. :-S ∞ |

Fibonacci is what happens: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987 ... (x^2 - x - 1 = 0) >
These are the coefficients of 1/(x^2-x-1) which takes into account the wabbits' need to mature before mating. Fibonacci obviously loved wabbits as none of them ever died. |

Not so fast....lainulo is watching the tourney...you're in for a big surprise...your party is almost over...get your napkins ready for your laughs will turn into tears....falling like raindrops. |

| | Domdaniel: Unlike wabbits, rabbits are notoriously immoral. |
|
| Jan-23-15 | | Abdel Irada: That's probably why there are so many more rabbits than wabbits. ∞ |
