What can be done to get the forums back to life?

Dude its Bad Karma man to accuse someone of racism without a shred of evidence

also you should have seen how disrespectful he was to one of Batgirl's thread.

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/need-help-with-old-german?page=2

there is friendly trolling (making fun of people) and there is insidious trolling (making deeply hurtful remarks), sometimes the lines get blurred, but calling someone racist without a shred of evidence is not one of those times.

Well I can see him as not so friendly type. 

Sure, I must admit that I have had some good and animated discussion with XJX on chess topics, but accusing someone of racism without a shred of evidence or on the ludicrous interpretation of their name is bang out of order.  He should produce the evidence or man up and apologise.

hmmm not very subtle

The return of Blasterdragon

You know J_X I taught this was some kind of joke until now. Pls for the sake of the thread, cut it out, i don't want to lose this thread that we just brought back to life...... Thx :-)

Here are the messages which were sent.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message by X_PLAYER_J_X on 6/25/15, 1:17 AM: So will you. However, not by me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message by Gouryella on 6/25/15, 1:21 AM: So am I supposed to have written dump like yours ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message by X_PLAYER_J_X on 6/25/15, 1:26 AM: My name is simple and non-offensive. If you wish to insult me and call it a dump that is your prespective. Which that prespective fits in exactly in accordance with your racist account.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message by Gouryella on 6/25/15, 1:29 AM: It may be your analysis skills are defective then. You don't seem to understand that the site does not want outward expressions of hatred, like yours on the forums. I'm not prepared to indulge in the type of attitude you displayed. Maybe you are just a kid who doesn't know any better. Anyway good luck with your thread derailments, hijacking and member slurring. Hope it brings you happiness.

You blocked me after that post. I didn't even get to reply. Frankly, I'm glad because you are very rude.

I already told you why you are racist. Your account is racist and insensitive to Native Indians.

Check post #472 which says the below statement

This individual wants people to believe Gouryella means Heaven.

Why would someone be screaming with war paint on in heaven?

Your name and your picture makes no logical sense.

However, that is because I believe you are trying to mislead people into believing that false interpretation.

The real interpretation of your name and image has already been mentioned on post #509

You are racist to Indians.

Well well well how long are you gonna last this time O'Connor ? 

This site is a World Wide chess site people interpret things differently in different countrys.

If someone puts up a picture of a person flicking someone off or giving them the bird than said the image represented peace or some other random made up definition that does not mean its true.

People from different countrys will still consider that image and name offensive.

My agruement here is completely valid.

You can interpret  the word Gouryella as 1 word.

or

You can interpret it as 3 words because chess.com does not allow spaces in creating chess.com names.

If you interpret it as 3 words you get  "Go-ur-yella"

Are you trying to agrue its not offensive?

Have you tried seeing a doctor for your condition ?

I am very friendly to people.

People put face paint on at football (soccer) matches all the time.  They shout and scream for their respective football (soccer) team to offer encouragement. It is not evidence of their racism, so either provided real evidence of racism (evidence other than your silly and unsubstantiated assertions) or issue a full public apology.

Ivana is Connor? Woa - Legend!

The USA has an anti-intellectual culture?

Robbie I believe you are being one sided my friend. You have to remain objective.

For example:

What evidence do you have that the Picture Gouryella is using is of a Soccer game? It is your interpretation that the picture is a Soccer game. What evidence do you have to support that claim.

You ask for evidence to prove she is racist.

Yet there is no evidence to prove she isn't racist?

If you believe my interpretation of the phrase Gouryella is wrong. Than please tell me what do you believe it means?

X is how black people who were never taught to write used to sign their names to legal contracts.

J is also a common initial for black people. And some famous black characters such as Shaft were definitely players.

Stop being racist.

Re Gouryella pic. It is so obviously someone at a football match. I really don't know why anyone would think it's anything else, unless they are a bit stupid or have no understanding of football.

Gouryella's pic is clearly different from Native American "war paint." You can see the difference with these three Blackhawks wearing their native dress:
