Originally posted by SuzianneFirst off, I live in U.S.. Power is out in many cities/regions across the country at any given time for more reasons than a hurricane; earthquakes, tornadoes, heavy wind storms, heavy rain storms, ice storms and human error. This particular hurricane just happened to be extremely publicized within the media. Second, empathy has nothing to do with this chess site, or a chess game. Finally, I just stated my opinion.
During a freaking hurricane, with power out to the entire city/region?
Looking to take advantage, I suspect.
Have you no empathy, man?
Oh, wait... sorry I asked.
I'm not looking to take advantage of anything. I'll play anyone in a chess match. With any time controls.
Did you use your brain before you made this post?
Oh, wait...sorry I asked.

But in the end if you have no power, perhaps no water, or even a house, then I am sure they are not worrying about losing some chess games.
Hey, folks, this is an internet chess site, is all the aggro really appropriate here? Let it go, please!
