Originally posted by royalchickenIt's a good point, that the account Miss Hope isn't creating trouble so the person behind it shouldn't be treated like it is.

She also plays chess better than the only manifestation in which I have played Chess Freak, that of royalchiken2. Also, based on conversation we had during our game, Miss Hope is probably not Chess Freak because if she were she would have a very elaborate cover story.

I'm afraid you've missed part of the point. Strictly speaking, there are no people on RHP that we can be sure of. 'Royalchicken' could be a government committee with 1 729 members that makes bureaucratic executive decisions about what to post and hides behind the name "Mark F. Hagen". This in no way affects the content of what royalchicken says. The point is that the username's posts, games, et al. are a creation of the human user, not the user him/her/it/them-self. However, if one were to take exclusionary measures against the person(s) creating Chess Freak, tuco, schliemann (2,3,4), royalchiken (2,3,4), screw dave, etc, one would also destroy the benign creation, Miss Hope (assuming they are the work of the same individual). It would be like when American forces blew up Milosevic's house and harmed a Rembrandt (this disparaging sentence is germane and evidence that I am not a government committee).
Got it 😉?

Has anyone stopped to consider that all of the unfounded speculation that she is chess freak may have had something to do with her disappearance? This is exactly why I didn't want all of this gossip and tried to discourage it. I hope her abscence has nothing to do with it, but I wouldn't be suprised if she didn't feel too welcome here.

Originally posted by royalchickenSame here. In my game we talked and she did not sound like chess freak at all.

That is the kind of small minded response i am no longer surprised to see 😕

"She" was going to proof the sceptics wrong.Apparently she has left the site.Maybe she will be back,maybe not.It makes no difference to me.If you are old enough to fool around on the internet you are old enough to deal with criticism.If not,get your diaper changed,take your dummy and go watch The Teletubbies.
This in response to another,intelligent post I am no longer surprised to see.

Look here, I don't care what your opinion is. I don't care if you think Miss Hope was legit or a fake. Whatever your opinion is, it is never necessary to say offensive things to a person. You can get your point across just as well without being demeaning or making accusations. There is a polite way to put your thoughts and then there is a crude way. There's a lot of controversial subjects that come up in the forums, and I know we all have strong opinions about them. This however does not mean that we should treat each other with disrespect.
Again, if Miss Hope has indeed left the site altogether, it is because of the lack of content that she was shown that we shall never be able to accurately surmise why. I would however speculate that if she was in fact chess freak that it would make very little sense for her to leave without causing any trouble. That would be sort of like a joke without a punch line.

2.I have been a member of this site for almost two years and have made a lot of friends here-positive.I am an original pawn star and I subscribed-positive.I do not post very often and try to keep it to the point-positive.The friends I made here are all respected by the community-positive.(Search for a thread started after I returned to the site following a short absence)
3.I know you dont care about my or anyone else's opinion which might be different to yours.
4.I never said offensive things to anyone,read the thread"I apologize for my brother"
5.I suppose Trekkie calling my post small minded is not crude or demeaning.
6.I never treated anyone with disrespect.read the thread.
7.This whole matter is a joke,I do not believe the punchline is clear to all though.
Now please read the thread in question carefully again.The whole matter became hilarious after she mistakenly thought I called her a rat.Some people enjoyed that thread and found it very amusing.The last post was by orkyboy saying that it was a good thread to read when one was feeling down.
I might have taken the joke too far by posting in this thread,then again it might bring a smile to some people's faces.I can assure you I had no smile on mine while reading the last two posts.
Challenge me to a game.The forums dont need this.
