Go up one level in this thread


Actually, friendly discurse, and out right flaming aguments are welcome
here.

It is only important that every one here be civil and not go on 'witch
hunts' trying to destroy other's with references (usaully completely
made up and untrue), to other's ideaologies, and life views.

The 'rules' you refer to, remind me of some rules a chess organization,
called the P.C.A., once made a rule, which I loosely paraphrase; 'Any
player, 2nd of that player, or 3rd party, insulting or attacking any
other player or the sponsoring organization(s), shall be in voilation of
the sponsoring organzations charter, and can be fined and removed from
the playing site of that organzation.

This rule affected only 2 individual's, protected a lot of other
player's from thier absurd behaver, and made for a much better and more
peaceful chess envirement.  As far as I know, only those 2 individuals,
(whose last names end in K, had any problem with its wording, even
though other player's backed them in their signed protest, overly
concered with the 'letter of the law', rather than its actual enactment.

But, if after reading these post, you can't lighten up, and you are
still uncomfortable here, I invite you to return to the news group,
rec.games.chess.computer, where our out of control, but completely free
to express, uncivil, 'freinds', live & post, & post & post again, to
their hearts content!
