Subject: I apologize to Odell and have an Opinion Poll question

Odell,

I wanted to apologize to you and add my final 2 cents in on the "Naming
Cheaters" issue and then I will drop it.

1) I apologize for that Lone Ranger comment last night. It was late and although
the comment was directed at you, it was supposed to be an observation on anyone
who feels it is necessary to name a cheater on this forum.

2) I feel that naming a cheater violates the spirit of CCC rule #3:

Do not contain personal and/or libelous attacks on others

if not the letter of the rule.

3) The only issue that I really have is the one of naming cheaters. You'll
notice that your original posting had about 8 responses until you named the
cheater. Then it had dozens of responses. I guess this is just a controversial
issue.

4) Maybe we should have an opinion poll question of the type:

Which of the following should be the guideline for naming cheaters here at CCC?
(pick one)

Suspected cheaters can be named here to protect people.

Confirmed cheaters (by a chess server, not just a CCC member) can be named here
to protect people. Suspected cheaters should not be named.

Cheaters have rights like others and should not be named.


Best Regards Odell,

KarinsDad :)

PS. Karin hit the keyboard and this message got cleared at the point that I only
had to type my name in and so I had to re-enter the entire message. That was a
pain. KarinsAnnoyedDad :(
