I am not a moderator.  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!!!!
