I am NOT authorized to interpret and make rulings on the charter. You will have to go to a real moderator for that. It is also only for the real moderators to decide whether or not an infraction has occurred. I cannot make a ruling on that and would not want to. In general terms, one should distinguish between appearances of guilt and proven guilt. It is a mistake to punish the accused without proper due process. At CCC, "due process" is in the hands of the moderators. On this bulletin board, only the moderators should enforce the charter, IMHO. Many objectionable threads can be avoided entirely by merely following the universal rule: "Don't feed the trolls." If the guy you object to truly is a "bad guy" then he will eventually bury himself without our help or, hopefully, he will change from "bad" to "good" like a chamelion. : ) We can only hope that someone's reading the MANY excellent technical computer chess bulletins on this bulletin board will instill a keen interest in computer chess. When that happens to somebody he/she will not be able to help his/her self. He/she will start posting brilliant gems of wisdom too! He/she may even decide to create a chess program and get onto Dann Corbit's list!!!! Bob D.
