You've been quiet.  In this world of withheld permissions I do a lot of that already.  I'm not as stuck as BTB suggests, I'm crawling up but, still, it's up.

Yes, I have been quite busy with life. What happened with you and BTB?In this world of withheld permissions may you fly higher than the skies.

I voted you both on the Troll for Nov as being very funny - he doesn't like to be thought of as funny...

ooohhhh. I can see the confusion that is why he has been messaging me. I was being geniune. I was not making fun of him or being facetious about anything directed at him. I was simply trying to portray how a  sports/radio personality would have conducted the interview, you know, being superfluous and trying to get views. To reiterate I do think what he has done with his autism is something this community should embrace and is indeed commendable.

I hope people understand that the "humour" part was trying to get the "feel" of a live talk-in radio show, when indeed it is just a forum.

well that was my intention anyways

Ok no offence was intended to him, if he is a kid with autism.  You seemed to be working together.  I've read posts that he was someone else that got banned and came back under another name, that's all.  I've always thought that.

He is. His old user was Immortal-Gladiator. He was banned for committing 2 big no-nos at chess.com.

Although he has not been caught doing those things again, in all other aspects he picked up right where he left off when he was banned with his arrogance.

Ok, but this might not be the best topic to discuss that. We just got the group set up and this topic would be better used to reach out to members who are looking for such a group. No offence meant btw.

Not at all. Build the group, it is a good idea.

Rsava, I remember now, I read a thread with your comments.

That is how i was feeling too, but there are signs that he does have autism. At first, I was a  skeptical, but I was trying to determine throughoout the course of the interview if he was sincere or not. However, I did determine that there was a minscule clue to me that he was sincere, so  after that is why I defend him. If he is trolling so what anyways, but I do feel that heis autisic and if I made his day then i will accept the insignificant risk that he is a troll.

Wilbert_78

Well the first games are played, some topics have been started, the first games are getting looked at and we have 15 active members, some of them with pretty high ratings. And ofcourse anyone can still join, just as long as you're willing to discuss the game afterwards playing it with a groupmember :)
