Hi,

I would also like point out that Howard Duggans language in the coffee lounge has been racist. Chesschat moderateers have never edited this language. Therefore they tacidly support racism by refusing to moderate one of their pet posters. This problem is amplified because conversation naturally spills out into the public forum where discussion of Coffe Lounge language becomes a bannable offence for those who attract the moderateers evil eye.

Furthermore, Historically speaking, Matt Sweeney and myself were banned from the Coffee Lounge for dropping the odd F word. Even though moderation policy at the time actively admitted it was not an offence.

Now Denis uses the Coffee lounge to slag off people who are not even allowed to read it. Hardly, civilised or engaging conversation from our current ACF co-Vice President. Why does he run and hide in the Coffee lounge if he has so much to say? And why shouldn't those who can't reply within that sphere be allowed to refute his illogical ramblings elsewhere without Chesschat harassment?

cheers Fg7
