    He's pulling your leg. Screen names only get changed if (1) it's your real name and you want to be anonymous, or (2) if you have a pal in the administration (don't know how much that costs). Perhaps he's implying that it's your real name .... 🙂

    Well as regards option 2, I never give brown envelopes (bribes) to anyone.

    Lots of builders and property developers did that a while back and now look at the state we're in! The country is broke and we have here 14% unemployment.

    The whole house of cards fell down but no bankers or builders or politicians are in jail. That's one thing I like about America. They jail corrupt people. Where I'm from they give them a big fat pension.

    Anyway we'll carry on with this name for now.......😉

    Hate to spoil it, but --- they occasionally jail corrupt people. As we do here. 99% of them are still living it up at the expense of the rest of us.

    I suspect they'd allow you to change your name, because it sounds vaguely obscene (think long bone and you'll get what I mean). Unintentional, I'm sure, but still ...

    Hi There,

    This is the email sent to me by johnnylongwoody. I found it threatening and abusive and I would like him to be bbanned. Please could to address this issue for mer please. The information below is what I have been sent:

    You shall die a slow lingering death.

    I shall see to it.

    Then you shall be consigned to the garbage can.

    You have no honour. You know not when to fall on your sword.

    When you are finally dispatched I hope never to speak with you again.

    86 moves and you still insist to hold the board.

    How dare you insult this honourable game.

    You are lower than the wind in the equator.

    Learn the game. When you have achieved some status Perhaps I might see you again.

    Best wishes,

    Obrey

    Yes I kind of lost my patience with this guy.

    But he took my colourful prose out of context.

    I don't mean him any offense.

    He took it the wrong way.

    Earlier in the game he offered me a draw when all he had left was his King.
    I sent a message back saying....OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

    He didn't seem to find that offensive.

    That's always the problem when offering 'colourful' comments, most may find them amusing...but at the end of the day, they are plain risky with some folk 🙁

    If somebody dragged out a lone-king game with me for 16 moves I think I'd have something to say too. Game 9651149 Most of that email is pretty harmless, but a delicate flower might be disturbed by those first three lines, I suppose.

    I was quoting from Alice in Wonderland.

    Do you remember the Queen kept saying "off with his head".

    These were the 3 lines I meant:

    You shall die a slow lingering death.
    I shall see to it.
    Then you shall be consigned to the garbage can.

    Even with a smiley face included I think I'd be a tad bothered by this.
