That's why I wouldn't ban him
well AG i respect such thinking (without speculation(s) about the person); but the moderators here have quite
some experience in computer chess, and probably talk with each other; so I'll respect their decision (most likely
based on some history, complaints by quite a few, etc). And who knows what they already tried with the bloke/
My suggestion to ban him only from the general topics probably wouldn't be technically possible, but if so i now would
refer the queen to the chess players forum (instead of only the kindergarten); not that Anti-chess is a good chess variant
(Not), but he didn't know apparently. As for the general topics after all this is a forum about computer chess, grown in
a historical way, some guys did a lot of effort in getting it away from the American Icdchess,
https://www.chessprogramming.org/CCC
So I understand they don't want to let it being messed up by some odd person (for whatever reason; which may be
bordering on the free-will issue, but then in court an appeal to having no free will usually also doesn't make sense;
and you get referred to a shrink). NB i also don't think a certain mr C M was very funny (although he was in the past),
creative maybe but also imo sarcastic Whereas in general i do respect this forum; as well as the chess world in general;
of course you can suggest they mostly are lunatics well that then is your opinion, just like people thinking all modern
artists must be bonkers or so; see what i mean). Computer chess decades ago was the 'fruitfly' research of AI, and
we (or some of us) now know what kind of hype there now is about this topic and so-called AGI (while i still get
program crashes sometimes if eg. a right semicolon is missing (sigh) yeah access violation error, even in Linux).
PS it's clear that some here have different attitude regarding psychological understanding and tolerance, mr Viz (and
Guenther maybe): but we wall can can get 'issues' sooner or later, and maybe you will also get them later too (and
then remember this comment); but in the case of mr CQ it's not only about him Imo but the quality of the
-computer chess- forum (general topics) and again, i have no reason to complain to mr CW (Tforce, i'm not sure if
the comment some time ago by Cq about his memory problems was serious, i also can make a joke (here in
NL sometimes about others eg. about Korsakov, but that's not always serious. Indeed Cw we cannot speculate about
personalities only from online behavior, but moderators have the right to protect a forum from endless BS
especially if a majority (of active members) have complained. not that is such a big deal nowadays yo uknow ,
its not the UN or so (yes they are working on AGI guidelines
, so my 2 cnts. have a nice day.
