How can chess, being such a quiet game cause so much noise and trouble for some
people. I like that this forum is moderated so that insults will be deleted.

This is a chess forum after all, and the Charter is very clear on all this. I
say to any person who does not like this, that they can go take a jump. The
rules are there, follow them or pay the price. I have had warnings and posts
deleted in my time here, everyone would have.

The simple facts are that this way will not change so any person who keeps
crying about free speech and self moderation, can go jump. Cause it will not
happen, talk nice in here or get lost.

This is to everyone, not directed at you hgkjhg or is it ghjkgh :)
