Stop complaining!!

dayum

You missed my point. I'd like to recommend this site to my elementary students so they can visit what is probably the best chess education web site. His profanity will make that impossible. There are plenty of forums where you can talk as you please. This is a chess site! What he is doing makes no sense in the context of what this site is all about. Where is the moderator?

finally, someone with common sense. This site is full of people fainting like prancers at what, to all extents and purposes, is normal language.

tell me, who decides what is an offensive word ? 'humbug' was incredibly offensive in the 18th century, as was ' balderdash'. these are arbritrarily enforced social rules; when it boils down to it, how can a vibration of the air, a frequency, a maniuplation of the vocal chords be deemed offensive, and where is the consensus on this? around the middle of the nineties, the word 'bitch' was allowed to be aired pre-watershed and is still allowed- when did that word stop being offensive?. I don't know about you, but if someone calls me a '***** paki'( has happened to me once or twice) i am a lot less offended than if someone where to accuse me of being ingenuine, or two-faced. These are just examples.

and about the royal family;

try 'unelected freeloading relics'.

please don't ban turtle just yet, this thread is really amusing!

I think today is exceptional circumstances for Chess.com, give them a chance although I know where you're coming from.

you'll be yelling at yourself

I already reported turtleslayer. That is totally offensive, please everyone also report him too. There is no excuse for a person like that to be on this site.

Thank goodness, they removed all his posts and probably banned him.

Thank heaven for little girls
thank heaven for them all,
no matter where no matter who
for without them, what would little boys do?

will he gone and i wonder who was turtleslayer was ? hey chess.com staff has he been here before ?

boo! someone's uptight. thanks for ruining our fun.

There's a big difference between good clean fun, and someone using VERY offensive language on a family site.

danielle; did the naughty words give you a sad face? awww, pwecious.

p.s. booo!

im bored now. no live chess. no turtle.

Turtles have feelings too.

I agree with Musikamole. This site is trying to be the premier site for CHESS. They want it to be family friendly. I recommend this site to the kids I tuter, but it's frustrating to know that kids on this site will be subjected from time to time with obscenities that should not be on a family site. Please use common sense here as there are children here to, trying to learn & play chess.

Honestly, I haven't noticed any difference (good thing). Were the bugs fixed already?

we tries to tuter 'em good

you're boring as well.

no one has used 'one' as a pronoun substitute since the 19th century; not even posh people. 'one' might even say that it is pretentious to do so.

actually, all this talk of 'vulgar language' and 'one' does make you seem a bit like a Jane Austen character; fainting at poor diction and the mention of genitalia.

anyway, it was the mindlessness of it all that was funny anyway. lighten up, the air is much fresher down here, away from that pedestal you're enjoying so much.

chaucer might have something to say about it as well. 'queynte', which cropped up once or twice in the canterbury tales, is the middle english word for a much ruder modern word which would risk my being banned if I were to mention.  You can probably figure it out ,cant you?

were you raised in a catholic commune or something? kids swear. pretty much all of them. I assure you this is true in 90% of communities in the world, based on a study I made up in my head. Luckily, my head is a reliable source. I think.
