I'm sorry to hear this. To me this is the larger issue here and seemed to get ignored by most. As much as we all must love chess, it is just a game, it is trivial and not Earth changing, people and lives are! People are important, more so than inanimate wooden figures on a board.

I've dealt with this type of thing a few times, it isn't easy. Depend on your family and friends for support, and please take care. 🙂

OMG I tried to PM an olive branch. I'm on your banned list. My children are so proud. I feel like James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. Anyone else want a piece of me ? Outside in the car park.

No, I don't complain when people refer to me by either my nick or my personal name.

What I'm complaining about is your dishonest attempts to give an academic and impersonal impression of yourself, and at the same time turn every post into a personal attack on those you reply to (not just myself), by consistently using the third person to refer to the very person you're replying to, yet at the same time repeating his nickname every second sentence.

It's a very cheap debating club trick, and I'm not falling for it. People only use such tricks if they are insecure about their actual arguments.

(I might add to the slate: drawing in arguments and personal attacks from completely unrelated threads. Cheap.)

Errr.... you might like to clarify whether or not you are suggesting this is an actual conversation that took place between me and you or why you decided to include it in your post at all ? Your inference that I am some sort of RHP sex pest has been reported to site admin. Holy crap. And you got upset because someone suggested you might use an engine ? My lawyers have advised me to cease participation in this thread and to treat your baseless accusation with woodstain. I think you're right we should go our separate ways. Perhaps you'd consider Pluto ?

I somehow get this feeling that you don't like me.

I am afraid my client cannot come to the computer now. That last post made my client jump back so hard in his chair he is suffering from whiplash. Not only that as my client's chair tipped backwards it knocked a lamp from a side table into his tropical fishtank instantly frying all the fish. As my client attempted to remove the lamp he received an electric shock which sent him flying across the room. Fortunately my client had a soft landing in an armchair. Unfortunately my client's cat was sitting in the armchair. In it's panic to get out from under my client the cat caused some minor lacerations to his undercarriage. My client's cat ran from the room. My client's dog chased it. My client's dog was wearing his lead which wrapped around my client's foot and he was dragged behind it. My client's cat and dog ran into the garden through the pet flap. My client followed. Partially. The fire brigade have been called to extract my client from the door. The parties responsible for my client's injuries will be contacted in due course.

That's good. Because I would *hate* to be *misinformed* about the *situation*. There I would be on a *forum* trying to *fit in* with lots of *asterisks* to make sure that *people* understood what was *important* and what was *real* and what was *fake*. I would *hate* anyone to think that I didn't ***fully understand*** the situation.
