Its not my job to tell you about the birds and the bees.
Then why did you get involved in the first place? What do you gain from continuing it?

All right. I apologize for coming down on you so hard. Your the one continuing it. After Kleelof agreed with me, you changed it yesterday. No harm, no foul, but let me try. Sapose you designed a chess set in which all the black pieces were NAZI Gestapo officers, and all the white pieces were little old Jewish women. Would that be offensive in your opinion?
"I dont really care about how i offend others. I have the right to do so". THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM RIGHT THERE! How old were you when 911 happened in 2001? 14 yrs ago
" I have the right to do so". NOT ON THIS SITE YOU DON'T. Don't take my word for it. Check with any staff member. That's what I mean by "common sense".
When you had the Alquieda avatar, someone wrote on your homepage--"Go Back To Syria". Why do you think he said that? BTW, Please change your flag. Your NOT an American. Not yet.
Take a picture of the Alquieda avatar to school. Ask your schoolmates AND teachers if its offensive.
I don't hold grudges about avatars so we don't have to be enemies. I got angry, complained, you changed. Moving on. If you wanna be friends that's fine.
I have not violated any code of conduct with my previous profile picture or my current. If you think it does feel free to report me for it but here they are "Member Conduct

Let me get this straight. At your age,You looked and looked and looked for an avatar that you thought was ok, and when you found, "Alquieda Chess". You then went to the T.O.S. to MAKE SURE it wasn't in violation?? WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?? There's no such thing as "almost" pregnant. Some people can't see the forest when the're looking at the trees. I'm no lawyer but I think it would fall under invasive of another's privacy. People have a right to mourn in private while not being reminded of that awful day.
Let me tell you a story about the Meese commission in the 1970's. The store 7--11 was selling pornograhic magazines in plain site of young children. The attorney General--Ed Meese, agreed and sued 7-11 to change their policies. They screamed, "free speech". It went to the Supreme Court. At issue was the definition of pornography. Mr Meese was asked the definition of pornography. He said; I don't know what the definition of porn is, but I know porn when I see it. Long story short, 7-11 lost their case and now they sell magazines BEHIND the counter. OUT of plain site. If you wanna put that picture of "Alquieda Chess" on your homepage,(where it will be hidden from public view). Help yourself, be my guest. But if you wanna jump around in groups, and blogs, and threads, and posts, and tournaments, and etc, and remind victims of their pain, victims from all over the world, then I doubt your gonna get a lot of sympathetic people on your side.
First of all if you are going to continue to rant on me it is Al-Qaeda. Second I search the T.O.S. before i do anything on a website as anybody should. Another reason is when i deal with people like you it adds to my points. In this case i can still make my avatar that chess board and it will be ok under the terms of service. So i do in fact have the right to offend people on this site as long as it is within the T.O.S. like my avatar was. Third the definition of invation of anothers privacy is ". the intrusion into the personal life of another, without just cause, which can give the person whose privacy has beeninvaded a right to bring a lawsuit for damages against the person or entity that intruded. However, public personages are notprotected in most situations, since they have placed themselves already within the public eye, and their activities (evenpersonal and sometimes intimate) are considered newsworthy, i.e. of legitimate public interest. However, an otherwise non-public individual has a right to privacy from: 1) intrusion on one's solitude or into one's private affairs; 2) public disclosure ofembarrassing private information; 3) publicity which puts him/her in a false light to the public; 4) appropriation of one's name orpicture for personal or commercial advantage." http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/invasion+of+privacy Does me having my avatar that you have to go on my profile to read invade anothers privacy? Short answer no. Long answer they may mourn all they like and they dont have to use chess.com and go on to my profile to do it. Also i did not post it onto their profiles or send it to them now did I. Four the last time I checked i am a american citizen. As a chess player i am entitled to play for what ever nation i have a current citizenship too. If you still want to try and play lawyer over there be my guest because i can knock you off your little pedestal everytime you try.
P.S. This is not a personal attack.
Your too young to know what an American is. Tell me and others here, what you think an American is. Is it your privious statement--". I dont really care about how i offend others. I have the right to do so". A real American fights for those who you feel, you have a right to offend. post 47--Then why did you get involved in the first place? What do you gain from continuing it? I got involved because that avatar is offensive to me and others. Your definition of privacy--". the intrusion into the personal life of another, without just cause, Show me your "just cause" for using THAT PARTICULAR avatar. Clearly, you can intrude in their life without choising THAT avatar. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it. I can go beat up 5 yr old kids in the park but I don't think I should. Its just common sense. Also, " 1) intrusion on one's solitude or into one's private affairs; You don't know what members here are victims of 9-11. When you post in any public thread, your "intruding into their private solitude of mourning". Your not old enough to be a college graduate or a soldier. But if it makes you feel better to knock me off my little pedestal, then be my guest. Look, your young, unknowledgeable, and you just did it to inflame the thread and the site. You come from the same tribe as Shenead O'Connor. I asked you 2 questions and you refuse to answer. 1) how old were you on 9-11? and why do you feel the need to dominate others? Here's a 3rd one. Which staff member told you it was OK to use THAT avatar, since you did SOOoo much research with the T.O.S.? Go troll with your other friends. And since this is a chess site, I'm gonna post a "conditional response" to your next post. Post whatever you want, my reply will be; "Whatever you say kid"! P.S. This is not a PERSONAL attack. We treat ALL trolls the same way. Your continuing this to gain points. I'm educating the entire site to you being the sick puppy that you are. By now most people have compared you to the Boston Marathon bombmers, or the co-pilot who brought down the German plane in the French Alps last week. I stand by my comment on your homepage. If you don't agree with my right to offend you, use your well researched T.O.S. and report me. Have a nice day. This thread will die on its own. That's what off-topic is for.
Sorry, i thought this thread was closed. I don't need a "just cause" for what ever avatar i use. As long as i corrosponds with the T.O.S. it is ok. I didn't need a staff member said it was ok for me to use it, i looked at the T.O.S. and nothing had violated it. Me having my avatar on my profile that you had to go onto my profile to see what it was because it was too small anywhere else is not a intusion onto anothers privacy. It seems as to you need to relearn the words you are using or just not use words you dont know. The definition of intrude is "to thrust or bring in without invitation". Now Did I go invite them onto it or force them to see it? No, they would have to go looking onto my profile. Here let me answer your relentless questions. 1. I was only a small child, but i still remember it. 2. I have no need to dominate other members. I just refuse to stand by while i am picked on. So what i am doing is not trolling or being troll bait to earn points i am defending my self because of your relentless personal attacks. Yes what you are doing is a personal attack. Relating me to a horrible looking irish pop star, several terrorists and calling me a sick pupy are in fact personal attacks. I do not "refuse" answer your questions, you just belabor me with so many i miss over some. I have never said you didn't have the right to offend me. What you dont have the right to do is to pick on me with your personal attack and pick on me. Even if i am as old as you seem to think i am and you are putting yourself on the moral highground since you think you are older than me, is it ok to pick on somebody younger than you? Is that really the moral highground? Good day
NO kid. No explanation necessary. Its called "COMMON SENSE".
Why do you feel the need to try and make me change my point of view. You are just one of those people who cant stand it when others have a difference of opinion. That is why you got involved in this and posted that on my profile. How is that common sense? Is that your excuse because you cannot come up with a reason? Your only backing too your argument is your opinion. To me that is worth nothing. The reason i changed it was because somebody explained to me that the message was not clear enough. I dont really care about how i offend others. I have the right to do so. If you were bombed i am sorry but i do not consider this offensive either.
