that is because the ACF thinks it is a TOP SECRET

It reminds me of the Monty Python skit of the "funniest Joke in the world." So funny, that people died laughing. So, the Pommies translated it into German (during WWII) and walked through the trenches reciting it. They didn't understand German but the Germans dropped dead laughing in their trenches. The joke was so funny that each translator could only do one word each of the TOP SECRET joke. Someone did two words and was hospitalised for a week.

Toolbox Watch. :eek:

Here's another joke Matt.
This is now my signature on ChessChat
"This user's sigfile rights have been withdrawn because he has spouted too much nonsense elsewhere and continues to do so. Nothing he says anywhere on the internet can be taken seriously."

No idea which of the two clowns over there thought up this pathetic stunt.
They would dearly love to ban me but I have never given them a reason to do so and this is what they are reduced to.

Disappointing. I've asked a question over there about this.

Disappointing?
Or the alternative explanation could be that the moderator has become confused between his poster-role (and enmity with Phil) and his moderator role, and has used his moderator functions-buttons to continue his poster-contretemps with Phil.

There have been 'legitimate' interventions by the chesschat moderators in the past to interfere with signature lines. For example, when I placed the UCJ url in my signature line.

Nice to see your action anyway frosty.

The discussion "over there" is proceding well. I don't think I am alone in my curiosity and wanting to understand "what happened" and "who did it". The former is my current focus, but perhaps the latter must first be revealed in order to understand the "what happened" (given that few have "opportunity", its surely a simple question of "motive").

Since someone else over there has raised the question, I will ask it here. Phil, are you in any way responsible for the writing or placing the content into the sig that you refer to above? A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice. It is basically the same question that I am asking of the mods there.

I think you have been exemplary in all this frosty. Well done.

Incidentally, it has been my impression that the offending sig. file has been attached to Phil for days if not weeks. But, I don't keep evidence, and may be wrong.

NO. Absolutely not.

As a matter of interest, (or otherwise), it's been like that for quite a while now.
I just never got around to mentioning it until now.
Its no big deal - just makes the moderators over there look even more girly than usual.

Actually I assumed at first that it was the Orifice but on second glance the use of the verb "spouted" suggests possibly Gletzoz.
As far as I am aware this is a verb that he has invented himself and certainly has used on many occasions.
Or is there a bona-fide verb "to spout" in English??

This is the CC bullying thread.

Denis Jessop IPPres. of the ACF said,
It's a catch cry that excites lesser minds like that of Matthew Sweeney ...
He says this in a forum where I am not permitted to defend myself. This cowardly attack is just the sort of action that brings the ACF into disrepute. I have not taken a big stick to Denis Jessop in the past, as he has been cordial in person. However, I think I may have misjudged him as being desent - my personal trait of thinking the best of people - giving a fair go.

In the light of IPP DJ's mounting record of maligning others in the secret ACF Coffee Lounge and in a forum noted for its exclusivity (CC), I feel no compunction in dumping DJ in the schit. At the last Australian Open he said to me in conversation that, the ACF officials were "unimaginative," were nothing more than "maintanance men," unable to start anything, and "not the best people" for the job of running Australian chess.

Way to go, Den!

Don't schit on me, arsehole.

Default Whimsy anyone?

Well, it did get me high-jumped from the chesschat forum. Can't report the length but it disappears on-going.
Apparently whimsy is allowed to chesschat moderators, but is a no-no for the rest of us.

Reminds me of the other hard-line mod decisions
> "Take a long walk off a short pier" (from memory)
>> "Learn to quote or die" (in retaliation to a/c's persistent mis-use of the quoting facility).

MOZ


.............
In summary, DJ should be taking up 'pathetic bid' with the signatory, who incidentally can read open forums at chesschat, but not the closed shop coffee house. Give him a chance to defend his tournament design instead of carping about it behind 'closed doors'. Or move on, as I suggested on ACCF quite some time back

MOZ

.
Bill has referred an existing thread for the President of CV to post his response to Denis carping comment on the CV bid for the 2008 Aus. Championships.
Just one problem....Denis has carped in a thread not readable to the victim.
How to respond?

It may well do. CC is a gold mine of the choicest dark alley backstabbing. Furthermore, it seems the seams are leaking toxic waste into the viens of the motherlode. The ore analysis report states the one of the latest shafts yeilds nuggets of extra ordinary weight:
You only have to read the garbage that he has been posting in other places [OzChess] and the pathetic CV bid that he wrote to realise that his comprehension of the issues involved is next to nil.
I mean, really, is that anyway for august ACF executives to speak about State officials?

I reported Denis' breach of polite protocols to a chesschat Mod. as being unsavoury, and the mod gave me the hand (paraphrase).
