Yeah, maybe it's not constructive. But what you do not understand is that we
have been putting up with this stuff since we became moderators, over 7 months
of it.

We have received on both the forum and via Email a lot of complaints about
Jonathon Smith/ChrisW. We have asked JSCW to cool it. We have asked CW via the
forum here to sign up under his own name. We have bent over backwards to
accomodate him and he thumbs his nose at us.

Use the filter mechanism to read JS's posts for the last 3 days. What a bunch of
garbage. He insulted Enrique, James, Robert, and the organizers of the
tournament in those posts. I doubt there is a computer chess related post in the
bunch. NOBODY wants to read that crap, hence my previous message.

I am tired of Chris. I do not want to play nice with him anymore. I want him to
either behave or go away. He has his own forum to play on. If he doesn't want to
behave here, he can misbehave there.

But, the people here are not going to be that lucky.

KarinsDad :(

PS. If you get elected moderator, then he will become your problem. Good luck!
You'll need it.
