Thank you gopaul! I have actually learned since this post that having a picture of me actaully helps my game... It's funny, but I guess males actually think women that play chess play the role of a "typical nerd". Well I am proud to say that I AM A NERD, but there is nothing typical about me :)

I think...it's you'r freedome to show any pic or not..

But there some pic is batter then the empty fram..!!

You have every right not to post pictures! Don't worry about what anyone thinks!

Thank you Bean69, Little man and Markle. No one could ever dictate what I do in life. That is my decision and my decision alone.

Liar, I read this note quite awhile ago and I am sure I did want to blaze you, but happy we played a game instead and now I have a new friend. HOWEVER, just going through my notes to see what I wish to delete and I came across it again. Yes the feeling of anger is bubbling, but I will supress it to say first this is a public forum, please do not apologize for how you feel or what you believe. Second I can not be responsible for the small, narrow minded thinking that the name "Badgal" generates in men. That name is significant to me because I feel in my life I have been to Hell and back and I am still here ready, so I am THE BADDEST GAL! Third, you may be right about the avatar. Even though I do not feel it is over the top, I have chose to remove it to have some peace. Thanks for your comments, i haven't been on here for a bit, but I'm back! Maybe we can play sometime.

I don't mean to offend, but I would suggest taking the naked lady off of your current picture.  I'm not judging anyone here, just trying to help.  While I'm at it I might as well say that nothing screams internet porn model quite like the name "badgal" 

I would apologize for being blunt, but that wouldn't be honest.  Plus, I suspect that anyone who is capable of enjoying a game of chess probably knew all that stuff anyway.  I'm fully prepared to be blazed, but how about a game, instead?

 

   I agree with Littleman, dont let a few jerks stop you from playing a great game and having some fun. As we say at work you cant help it if you have to deal with some idiots in life.

yes it is a shame really just let them know your not interested and if they still persist dont play them again but i hope u dont let these people stop u from playing this wonderful game......

 

     i see you have been harassed and thats ashame. this is so suppose to be a place where a person can come to relax and have fun, some people are so desperate. i aplogize my sister for those ignorant people!!!
