Is Erik really cheater1?

Is Erik really cheater?  Has he been playing a joke on us?

It would be a bit of a terrible joke.

If you do a search in the forums, you'll see this topic has been done a couple of times before. :-)

heh heh, I have to admit I considered the possibility.  they do seem awfully cordial.

I didnt do a search, it was just a quick thought but hmmm the possibilities.

Now what would possess you all to say something like that? ERIK is mean spirited towards me, ridicules me, kicks me when I'm down, abuses his power and manipulates me and then goads all you people to laugh at me. Trust me, we are 180 degrees the opposite and NOT the same person.

There is a reason that you will never see a game between Erik and Cheater1!!!?

That is not allowed according to Erik to play with (oops) against yourself.

No it's not Eric, it's probably a jealous underling.  One of the other staffers, definitely.

If that was so erik would have to be banned from chess.com

Can he ban himself for having two accounts; or will he ban himself?

Too easy. I thought about tbhat because of another topic posted on the two individuals. It's too easy.

Haha! Believe me, erik's a little smarter than that!

Who cares i f they are one and the same or not? I think not,but I am new.they are both interesting and both talk rubbish, which is how it should be.They both contribute a great deal to this wonderful site and are both controversial,one positively,the other negatively. Depending on your opinion. Soon they will all now that I alone am right!

YEAH

Don't knock on the guy who started this post. You have to admit, there is so much hatred and controversy between the two parties, it does make you wonder if there's something going on or not? I mean, if some idiot I didn't like was in my house, I'd just get up and kick them the %&$#@ out. So why doesn't Erik do the same?

 Don't you see?  It's really Rael who is Cheater_1.  After all, it was him who set up the Team Cheater 1 group. 

Because he's classy and sticks to the administrative rules of the site, brandon. He said he wouldn't ban cheater_1 unless cheater actually broke a site rule.

Erik is an entrepreneur and a family man. He has much better things to do that troll his own website.

Nobody can resist a good conspiracy theory :D

As the chess.com turns...

Well the funny side to this is...Erik knows the ISP of the Cheater, knows his location based on the ISP and IP address and even if cheater used fictitious email addresses the moment he's logged -on , he is seen. Wifi? well, they have their ISPs too. The moment a player registers, his location is identified. Im no FBI, CIA or spy. But I used to be a Network Engineer, i know where pranksters,hackers are when they try to access our system illegally. But if cheater did not do anything the brake the rules,erik cant ban him on principle. So Erik knows the cheater technically.
