Some posting statistics from the self-proclaimed 'Happy' TSM Forum Cleaner*

These are the FACTS!

Trolling Category
================
PFC = 17
No1marauder = 10
Forum Moderation = 6
TSM = 6
General Insults = 4
BWA = 2
Other = 2

Posts regarding the PFC, no1marauder and the BWA were all put-downs and jibes.

Posts regarding Forum Moderation were all non-too-subtle 'indirect' digs at RHP Forum Moderation.

TSM posts were all in response to posts from TSM members and consisted of 'Hear, Hear' or 'Well said'.

There's a certain irony in that Red Night's valuable contribution to keeping the forums clean and preventing his imagined 'forum bullying' consisted of only 2 posts. 83% of all his posts since the start of April were direct or indirect insults at other clans and other forum users.

*A not so mild-mannered janitor, like an evil Hong Kong Phooey.

If fun was a day trip from Clown school, Red Night would be a bus crash!

Good riddance.

Even if the argument is, "Who cares if everyone allows book/DB use in CC chess - it's still unethical", that is easily dismissed. CC games can go on for years. Do we really expect CC players to ignore all the opening improvements found in their favorite opening lines? After all, they'd better avoid studying them, because they've got games going on with those openings at any given time.

This would lead to the absurd situation of those who start games later on having better theoretical knowledge, because they are able to read the later books and DBs before starting those games. No, the only fair way to do it is to allow all players to look at all books and DBs at any point in the game.

The Author

Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed.

A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious, dark-side, underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.' Artie then explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was £5,000.

The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single pound coin that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, & reluctantly agreed to accept the pound as down payment for the dirty deed.

A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Tesco store. There, he surprised her in the produce department and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands and as the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath and slumped to the floor the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, ol' Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the
hidden security cameras and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police.

Artie was caught and arrested before he could even leave the store. Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested.

The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared......









'ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A POUND AT TESCO!'

Taxiiiiiiiiiiiii........

Your comments about poles working here is total rubbish! my girlfriend is Polish and there is no 1000 pound payment when they return in fact for the first 2 years they have to pay are tax and national insurance and pay taxes to the polish government as well.

People are just scared because these sorts of worker are not afraid of work and will do the rubbish jobs most dole and benefit cheat cant be as*ed too.

They are not a lazy race and I have been to Poland a few times now and can confirm all they want from us is to earn some cash and go home - if Germany relax there visa/work permit laws which they intend to do shortly then most will go there.

There are lot more lazier/benefit grabbing English born people in the UK that should be out working! there are no excuses.

There are 2 guys who work with me who have MS and are wheelchair bound but still do a full days work and are very hard working people - if they wanted too they could sit at home and claim benefits etc but they choose not too - so look at the real lazy people before you start pointing the finger
