STANG is annoying and has in the past been banned. I am sure he will be banned again.

Maybe the subs (HAHA) should have a vote on who should get a ban. I propose Bowmann and Vivaldi, although the latter has been suspiciously quiet for a while.

Maybe people should only be allowed on the forums after they've completed a certain number of games, to prove they're not here just to post drivel on the forums.

None of the high-movers ever post drivel. 🙄

Actually, I don't consider Bowmann to be a spammer really. He does have some humerous additions to make. One criteria that I am tend to consider spamming on forums is making new threads. I don't think he has started a new thread, only contributed to existing ones.

Well, lessons are good, spamming is bad.

Bowmann doesn't spam, he trolls. Often, however, he makes some good points. His chess lessons are well chosen problems, and generally have been well-received.

Yes, I wander around this zoo at my leisure. And, unlike you, I DON'T send PMs telling others what I think of them.

Another false accusation and personal attack.

Are you referring to the PM yesterday, which you invited in a thread on other chess sites, to which you replied with an absurd declaration? Or are you referring to one two months ago when I inquired about one of your unprovoked personal attacks on me?

Grow up little man.

How could I be referring to PMs I invite? I meant those you sent on 21st, 22nd and 28th October respectively, the last entitled "troll".

Personal attacks cannot be made in the forums.

...so I call you a troll.

When you asserted in a rather whimsical thread that I was ignorant of the rules of chess, I asked for clarification in the same thread. You offered none, but...
Happy to be one, as I've already indicated.

I have arrived at the conclusion that you take life far too seriously. Your replies are becoming ever more frustrated and confused. And you simply cannot move on from the matter of the 'rules of chess clarification' thread, even though I've answered your questions and laid it to rest. Twice. (Although you've dug it up numerous times, Scooter doesn't seem to mind.)

Then, I've missed it twice. 🙄🙄

Others answered my questions; you haven't. You were wrong in your allegations and you're too cowardly to admit it.

BTW, the matter arose in the "favorite chess piece" thread. I like pawns because they become queens, remember?

I remember. But you don't. Unless you're too cowardly to admit that I was right.
