(i) <zed> is smart/intelligent/reasonable who wants an ecology that is smart/rational/'harmonious' and not toxic

(ii) those who messing up with <zed> are not smart/intelligent/reasonable, if there is anyone who messing with <zed>

(iii) admins have shown that they willing to work with smart/intelligent/reasonable people to resolve issues

(Iv) so , <zed> should be able to resolve this issue by collaborating with admins.

2) admins have already cleaned up rogoffland a lot , though I would like some more improvement in rogoffland , however , that might require more resources/effort, so I am ok with it for now...

3) so , things are cool , I think.

When a new tournament is posted, I would like the ability to see what openings were played.

A while back (before you were here) I brought up the idea of using the Repertoire Explorer. Figuring if it can read a players database, it can read a tournament database. That may be overkill, and you may not need White/Black filtering.

A quick and dirty solution, would be a sort function on the game page, where the opening is listed.

This would allow you to see there were 3 Caro-Kanns, 4 Queens Gambits, and 6 Nimzo-Indians played in the tournament, and allow you to go directly to those games.

I invite a forensic analysis on any exchange I engaged in, on any forum, at any time.

But please be fair. One has to remember the context, contemporaneous activity on other forums, and how subtle passive-aggressive provocations, if condoned, quickly escalate into flagrant diatribe, habitually.

And again, please be fair. This scrutiny shouldn't just apply to me, however. All members of <CG> should be subject to the same.

And I still reserve the right to comment on content, regardless of who posts(*).

* * * * *

(*) Keep in mind I make this reservation known because <CG> has wrongfully deleted constructive commentary on my part before (where I pointed out some difficulties in a suggestion for a new mating pattern name(+)). FWIW - the admins admitted as much when I challenged the deletion.

(+) Aside - was that post ever restored? It should have been.

Please consider this example, where a legitimate issue raised whether was is clearly chess oriented content is really a form of spam...

Z Qin vs R Panjwani, 2012 (kibitz #1)

<

<I would like to help you getting <zed> and <perfidious> banned - both of them.>

...

So , let us forget <perfidious > for the time being and focus on getting <zed> banned , first. And once we get <zed> banned , then we would focus on getting <perf> banned

>

This is targeted to an individual, not because of misdeeds, but because of the individual - much like the banning of socks / aliases.

I don't see where he cites an instance of actual abuse on either mine or <perf>'s part.

And so, all the same, I would like to thank all my fans for picking me over <perf>, it's an honor I don't deserve (and neither does he!):

<
What is there
for me to say? Everything wise and
witty has long since been said - by
minds more mature and talents far
greater than mine. For me to thank
you as equals would be presumptuous
- I am an apprentice in <CG>
and have much to learn from you
all. I can say only that I am proud
and happy and that I regard this
great honor not so much as an award
for what I have achieved, but as a
standard to hold against what I
have yet to accomplish.

(applause)

And further, I regard it as
bestowed upon me only in part. The
larger share belongs to my friends
in <CG> - and to <CG>
itself, which has given me all I
have. In good conscience, I must
give credit where credit is due.

<fred>. I deleted your post. Try not to turn a good, informative post into a personal attack. If the below post is what you were referring to.

<<fredthebear: This is a Railroad Mate and a 3x3 Kill Box Mate. Here's a long king walk for a Railroad Mate: Anderssen vs Kolisch, 1860

Dishonest sock puppets on this website falsely but repeatedly claim to have invented such checkmate patterns. Don't you believe it.>>

Try and leave the last part out next time. Thanks>

That is fair, <fredthebear>

What we want now is that same standards should be applied to others too including <zed> - what is good for gander is good for goose too

So , if you see some post of <zed> which contains personal attack , copy/paste and post here, if you please and we would ask admins to apply same rules/standards to <zed> too.

Well, perhaps, it is possible to resolve the stuff through communication with some , if not all.

<keypusher> is a right winger , however, he gets along very well with left winger <saffuna> and other left wingers and participates in intelligent , rational, insightful conversations at rogoffland- he is above 'us vs them ' , apparently.

<zed> is a left winger . He is like <I invite forensic analysis of any post of mine any time >

Awesome! Very constructive poster with a lot of integrity , apparently.

2) now , when <keypusher> asks right wingers to tone it down , have non toxic , non partisan intelligent , rational conversations which are above "us vs them " , some/many right wingers label him 'traitor' and such.

3) when I asked left wingers to tone it down , <perfidious> blocked me even though I have a lot of respect for <perfidious> and most of the time we are in agreement on different issues.

Given the proven record of recidivism,

Alexander Alekhine (kibitz #3641)

I am asking for all my account(s) to be restored.

You know which one in particular I'm referring to, and given how flimsy your original rationale.

(E.g. consider all the semi-pornographic and provocative ads <CG> promotes. In comparison, I don't think a video of a nature scene, which even included a warning, was the least bit out of line. In fact, I believe it was exactly relevant at the time.)

Now, I can't <bear> to see obvious discrimination and favoritism be allowed to continue unchecked on <CG>. Especially when one side is so proportional and measured in its response.

Thank you for your consideration.
