What did he do?

I know that I have had some trouble with operators and put them on my noplay
list, but I can't remember why, in most cases.  In a few cases I actually took
notes, but now I can't find the notes.

I've been running on Otter recently and I don't think that has much of a noplay
list at all, so it has been playing some of the guys who are on your noplay
list.

So far, no problems.

I don't know why you need to worry about these guys.  If you want to get the
games, but don't want the attitude, you can add something to your interface that
deletes tells from them, as well as draw requests, requests for aborts,
adjournments, kibitzes, and takebacks.  That lets you censor them while still
allowing them to play.  At that point they become perfect opponents.

You have a whole bunch of people who want to fight with you simultaneously.  I
would find it hard to manage this many fights, personally.  At some point it has
to become impossible to manage.
