Germans are always so tense
blocking of topics
yes, I should keep quite, and accept unappropriate behavior of players, and now possibly also from the staff. Is it that what you mean?
I said it . Now I stop. Since I want to play.
The limit is reached if I am treated unfair by referees...
This has not happened (yet).

You appear here as if you were a judge over my behavior and as if you speak in the name of some authority.
This is unappropriate (it is all only your opinion, and the letters to me show that the majority agrees with me).
besides, you did not read my last message I said I was NOT treated unfair!!!
Mandelshtam
funny... It seems you are the sensitive one... Anyway, I shut up now. SINCE I EXPRESSED MY OPINION AND DEFENDED IT ENOUGH.
Mandelshtam
the point is that
1) metris did not post his insults against me (I never insulted him!!!) on the web when he declined my challenge. this again shows his low moral standards.
2) I was never informed by erik or somebody else that two topics of mine were blocked.
I don't feel "victimized", i just put things into order here.
I am finished now with this topic.
Erik, if I bother you , please shut it down.

1) I did this 9after i knew that such a possibility exists).
2) metris told only one part of his insults. the worst, as i said many times , he wrote when he declined my challenge.
I have to defend myself against lies.
That is all. You, and some other people here seem to see only "the sting in your own eye", not the knife in someone elses back.
You would be objective, if someone insults and distracts you.
Mandelshtam.
P.S.: But now i am really finished with this forum

If someone insults you, why don't you insult them back. You don't need to get support from other members. Your old enough to fight your own battles.
I think this forum should be locked and any in the future you start about this subject. Although I enjoy a good slagging match as much as anyone, I think most people here are more interested in chess related topics.

New vote chess idea: mandelshtam supporters vs metris supporters
Not sure how many people will join each team but it could be good fun.

Mendelshtam, your question in this forum topic seemed to be why the previous topics were locked, my response was to that question. Whether or not it was you or Metris who was the insulting one has no bearing on how inappropriate it is to bring that fight to the forums. The fact that you reported the abuse later is good, but the inappropriate forum topics are still going to get locked.
As for defending yourself against lies, Metris didn't post the chat log until after you called her out in a forum topic. You created your own problem there. The adult thing to do would be ignore the insulting player (reporting abuse if you feel wronged) and go about enjoying the rest of the site and the many thousands of nice, polite players who play here.

Blah blah blah, blah blahblah blah.
It seems a lot of people need to relax and get a day job.
I'm sure mentioning "relax" and "get a day job" in the same sentence, qualify for some kind of punishment!
Point taken; I probably should have said "or" instead of "and".

Amen to that. This topic is now locked. Please don't post another thread on the same topic, Mandelshtam. I think we have all had enough of the subject. Thanks.
I saw that two of my topics have been blocked. BY WHOM ? FOR WHAT?
I must say that if some person of the staff did this, I find this unacceptable.
I have not even been informed of the blocking.
