I think, perhaps, one is being too charitable?
Help and Support for Cheater_1

No way, Cheater_1 is amazing! He pulled the biggest swindle in Chess.com forum history. Beautiful. Every poster (huggers included) think he's serious instead of some really amusing, and clever persona. It's lovely watching people flame 'him' or hug 'him.' Cheater_1 doesn't exist in the way we do, he's a character, an actor; he is even cheating in his 'personality.'
That's why Cheater_1 is so amazing. To cheat with the victim knowing is hardly cheating, his real cheat lies in his posts. LMFAO Cheater_1 you rock.

i am not a licensed therapist for the deeply disturbed and emotionally starved, therefore i am not qualified to hug him.

Haha, good point.
The funniest thing about this thread is that it's in the "Help & Support" category of topics.
LOL.

I think cheater_1 isn't a person. He's a very smart computer posting on the forums and trying not to be banned

I didn't know there was such a thing...as being too charitable...
Sometimes I think there is....
...but this whole issue amuses me to no end. :)

I think its kinda funny because Erik is also against him lol, but in all fairness he shouldn't be doing what he does...

Bex, ur the nicest person on the face of the earth, and I feel much the same. But, erik has a valid point, too. I learned long ago that the human phyche can be a very fragile thing. I have a few ideas about him, but, one small step in the wrong direction, and we don't know what direction that is, could be the veritable straw. If he is as he seems, he needs professional help and I hope he has the courage to get it.

Bexter you're one of those people that are so nice they make me sick. But nonetheless, your kindness is commendable.

Thank you? I think...uh...I really shouldn't because I actually want to jump in and trash the mean man...but then something stops me and I look within myself at the reason why I react. It then turns into empathetic pain for "him".."them"..the haters of this world who really just need what we all do...LOVE...
I have sorrow when the reality of how much violence, pain, destruction, animosity, and hate could have been avoided...if the 'catcher's mit' used was one of LOVE...
THAT IS THE ANSWER...
We as humans have been given the responsibility of being kind, loving, having self-control, nurturing, and patient...yet we fail...time and time again...and the results are devastating...the proof of this is found on the news at 6...or even when trying to merge in the left lane on the freeway...
I want to be the first to give Cheater a hug...on this new and improved hug for cheater thread...
