Has anyone received ANY direct communication from GK recently? My guess is no,but I could be wrong.Maybe GK will repond here and prove me wrong. Funny,I got a complaint against me today because I tried to straighten someone out about them calling anyone who hides their online status as being a "coward".Not so,not at all.If that was so,then there are thousands of players on GK that are cowards,even if GK allows anyone to hide their status.My lesson to him is over.I squashed the complaint by reponding and the matter was closed in MY favor.I did respond to him and told him that he was the "coward"for being scared of those who hide their status and he was "insecure".Its interesting how some players can "dish it out"by calling players "cowards",but if I respond back and call THEM a coward,they cannot handle it!I use "reverse psychology"once in a while(I am good at it)and almost always win the argument.So,I suppose he could not accept that and complained to GK.But it did him no good,for I know I was correct in the first place.Some people simply never learn.His "way"of thinking kinda baffles me because GK players are only following a GK option set in place for as long as I can remember!So...get over it! |

Good points about “hidden” status, Joe, I think ‘online status withheld’ is better than ‘hidden’; in old style correspondence chess nobody had to phone up their opponent to let them know that they were pondering the board position! |

Perhaps there may be some reasons for that,which I do not feel is important enough to cancel their postponment.If I move during a postponement,I cancel my own flag.So many "little things"bother others,but not me.Well...there is some exceptions of what bothers me,but not to be discussed in these forums and it has nothing to do with chess,so its not forum related,but is GK related on a more personal level with two specific people on GK,one of which left GK over a year ago,but has his profile still active.I will not elaborate,however. But getting back on subject line...yes,seems like the GK staff(so far)might as well be located in the Andromeda galaxy.Technically,that does not bother me at all.But I know that plenty of others want some decent communication by GK and have not received it for a very,VERY long time. |

myrydin Above,I mentioned about a player complained to GK about me because I gave him back a taste of his own medicine.It was settled,but it should have never occured(by him)in the first place.Some of these guys never learn.But what is funny was that he called anyone hiding their status as "cowards".That means you and I are cowards!!! That way of thinking is both retarded and childish. Whats extra funny is that right after I got an automated message back to me by GK that the matter was settled and no warnings sent out....this guy quickly removed those comments from his profile.Now,if he thought that his words were correct and valid,then he would have not erased his comments and left them posted in his profile.He went on to say that what he writes in his profile is his own business.No it is not and what you write in a profile can indeed be against the GK rules. So profiles can be accidently looked at by others out of curiosity or by other opponents and are subject to complaints.I did not complain to GK or him,but tried to "adjust"his way of thinking and told him why one is not a "coward"if they are only following the GK rule book.He did not like that...(like a child).But I won psychologically because he then removed those comments from his profile.I give up with these idiots,including another weak player that stormed into my PM,made dumb comments about a Pop star I admire,then ran to a GK club and made the same comment(like a child)...then left GK,along with who created him with another account.If only others knew what REALLY goes on,on GK! Take care, TA |

I think you’re right to laugh, some people really have an upside-down sense of right and wrong. If there was anything wrong with withholding your online status, the option simply wouldn’t be available. This is why I think it is poorly worded ie ‘Last time online: hidden by player’ There will be some who infer the wrong thing from the ‘hidden’ word, when it’s not actually anybody else’s business whether you’re online or not. The information is volunteered. Perhaps the sudden marriage of correspondence chess with the internet makes people feel entitled to things that they’re not entitled to. ‘Withheld by player’ works better IMO. Originally, I used the option to stop opponents thinking I was going to move when I was busy analysing or reading the forums, annotated games etc, iow a courtesy. There’s always a few who take things the wrong way! The irony about the behaviour you describe - putting complaints in profles and running off to clubs, is that that behaviour can more properly be described as cowardly. Perhaps they are ‘projecting’? Take care, Tim. |

For example and this is a good one without mentioning names: That "person"who entered my PM to try and rattle me with offense,appeared on GK as a brand new member and within less than 10 minutes after he first came to GK,he begins his "dance of offense"against me and then RUNS to a club on GK to "hide behind"the shirt tails of a religious book waver to try and get his support for his dumb remarks towards me.This is not a case for someone who is NEW on GK and never even read the forums or club forums before.No one "new"simply enters PM's,then joins a club all in 15 minutes,especially if we have never had words before to one another. This leaves me with only one conclusion.The second player was "created"by another because I had blocked the first player and he could not respond with HIS nonsense.But the first and second player are and have to be ONE IN THE SAME with two accounts.This is how the first player got "around"my ignore of him.Think about it.A brand new player does not suddenly run into PM's ,then quickly join a club all in 15 minutes!So,both players(actually one)before he created his alter ego,was on GK for years!Then lied about himself being from Germany. I know that was a lie too,based upon the writeups of his ilife in the USA as well as slip ups with other comments he made.Both are on my ignore list now,but both have left GK together,almost at the same time!! So how do I know its one player with two accounts as well as lies to where they live?That is easy! Like I said my friend Tim,things go on,on GK that I can figure out easily(like above)but others have no idea about.I am more deeply wise than many can even begin to fathom.And much of that comes from extensive experience on GK for nearly 20 years.I have seen it all. Take care, TA |

Correction,but a minor correction: That may be "too deep"for others to comprehend,but it is my way.And opinions will always vary as to methodologies. |
