Avoid belittling others

Hey guys, words like patzer or wood pusher should not be used when referring to lower ranked players. Chess players should always be courteous, we don't want this to turn to the childishness associated with IRC.

And the winter leaf left the parsley immediately as her eyes shadowed... it was the end, indeed; and then the sky dressed itself
in a soothing night pashmina.

Right... Let's tell them they play "wind-assisted chess" instead. That sounds so much better.

A quick look at your forum posts brought up these quotes, among others:

"Can you show me the best game you've played and we can see what kind of a woodpusher you are. I hope you haven't got any "wind-assisted" games."

"And your knight on a5 must be basking in the sun. Not a bad performance from a woodpusher."

Take your own advice.
