I've reported the last couple of posts as abusive.

Nigel, if I could I'd like to pass on some advice from a famous Welsh grandmaster:Nigel_Davies wrote:I've reported the last couple of posts as abusive.

Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.

Re: Character Assassination
At least there's some good material for my coming article on chess forums.
"And when we have an inflated sense of self, we tend to exhibit poor self-control.
"Think of it as a licensing effect: You feel good about yourself so you feel a sense of entitlement," says Keith Wilcox, assistant professor of marketing at Columbia Business School and co-author of the study. "And you want to protect that enhanced view, which might be why people are lashing out so strongly at others who don't share their opinions." These types of behavior—poor self control, inflated sense of self—"are often displayed by people impaired by alcohol," he adds.

Isn't it ridiculous that Nigel wants us, here on this forum, to comment on his blog posts but doesn't want us to quote from them and won't allow comments on his own blog. Not, of course, that he has anything worthwhile to say.
Have you considered the official ECF forum Nigel you could post there without interruption.
Cheers

They do seem a lot less adolescent and quieter over there but I thought it might be inappropriate for me to join that one since cancelling my ECF membership.Carl Hibbard wrote:

Is a Welsh Chess Forum out of the question?

It would have to be conducted entirely in the Welsh language of course....Nigel_Davies wrote: Is a Welsh Chess Forum out of the question?

Nigel... I would be delighted to give you some advice on the articles that you believe are in breach of copyright for a small fee...say £50...mind you, I must warn you that I have no legal qualifications and have never practiced law....additionally my understanding of law is limited.
But I have seen several episodes of the legal drama tv series "Law and order"
Please feel free to forward me any of the offending articles that you believe are in breach of copyright laws.
Regards
Martin.

I'm sure you would be welcome on the official forum as there are substantive discussions to be had about how to finally move English chess forward. Dare I suggest that you have an opportunity to engage Malcolm Pein, Dominic Lawson and Mike Truran (provided you don't consider the latter a patzer politician) around the real issues, rather than wasting time with the adolescents on here?

By the way, I like the clips of your Chessbase videos that I see on ChessBase Magazine. I suspect they would be very good for the players at which they are aimed.

Re: Character Assassination
I dare say I'd be better at running a forum than contributing to one, I'm not good at blending in with the consensus and especially when it features bad manners and possible libel. It isn't rocket science to set one up, the tough part is actually running it once it's going.Andrew Zigmond wrote:

I'd be happy to post on the official ECF forum if I was welcome, I'm on good terms with Malcolm and Mike and the place could do with livening up a tad. They made the mistake (in my view) of making it too formal, I think it needs to be loosened up a bit to encourage dialogue. But not too much, there should be some sense of decorum.

Although I suppose of all the thread titles, why not after all I've been there before years ago.

Getting back to the original theme of this thread I do think that internet vendettas are an indication of something much darker than the jovial inebriated backslapping of shadow ASD chess players. It's certainly not something that forums should support and cheer on.
