R.I.P Itude got muted for 6 months.

A suitable replacement perhaps.

For whatever reason he didn't (doesn't?) seem to like me much. For that reason I've always tried to limit my interaction with him. However, I found some of his posts entertaining (some less so) and some of his assertions accurate (some less so).   At any rate, he was (is?) a unique individual and that uniqueness -whether one liked it or not- will be missed, so I hope he returns in spite of what he apparently considers an unfair mute (mutes are sometimes cut-and-dry; sometimes a bit more complex).   

I tend to agree with @LesuhAn's assessment that harshly criticizing an individual who isn't here to defend himself is rather unseemly. 

Well, I've always liked you, @batgirl. I like you even more now because even though you felt Itude disliked you, you posted a very honest and fair-minded assessment from your perspective. You are an unusual person and I mean that in the best way possible.

My friendship with Itude was only several months long and I am obviously not aware of all that he has said and done. I don't frequent the forums much. I don't condone hurting people whether it is by a friend or enemy. I wrote from my interactions with Itude and the good I personally witnessed in him. 

I didn't read Lechuga, but I agree with her. Even if she's talking well of my mother-in-law.

Itude is no more now.

😜😸

You just earned my respect! 😉✌🏻👊🏻😎

Itude simply does not know when to let things go. He has a beef about moderation- with the bots and Staff. To the point of obsession. The behavior carries over with similar interactions in discussions in the forums - to the point of obsession by randomly rehashing his points/starting fights - stalking members demanding they be banned.
Not much to “defend” except that the behavior is to be tolerated or not. Seems easy for those not directly affected to shrug and not be of concern.
Can’t be expected to agree with nor get along with everybody. How we are judged is often seen by how we interact with those we disagree with. A side which is not seen by casual observers.
Chess is about Spirit and Sportsmanship.
It can’t be bought nor function be demanded.

Classless and low-value.

One thing that I take from reading is that unhappy people post dozens of times more in the chat than the happy and content.

So we can get a certain sound that generally sucks.

The bolded comes across as irony to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

I actually would like for him to get some kind of therapy, though that is highly unlikely.

   ---   And then he started to go around Peeing on things ?

Okay any bets as to when we see Itude-002 ???

The time we live in now it sucks...

And We lose people we like or love... 

Even in this community...

I know one thing. Life is too short to be sad or angry all the time. 
Maybe sometimes we should focus more on the things we HAVE in common. 
Then to be frustrated on the things we don’t agree with.

So for all the sad people, mad people or people who just want a hug.... this one is for you!

he left
