>Seeing your name on the Chess Lords adds to my joy of leaving RHP and the Clan. They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel to allow a sore loser like you to join any team. Besides not knowing too very much about chess your conduct must really be a source of pride for your son. In all the years I have played I have met a few like you but they usually do not last. Stick with it you may learn a life\'s lesson yet and I hope you teach your kids how not to act.
...and my reply
I can understand your frustration, and even accept it. Please accept my appologies, I had no wish to cause you such distress. I have put back into society much of which I am proud, of our episode I am not.
Again I hope you enjoy your chess, wherever you play.
Take care and god bless.

>I have to apologize for my last message to you. That is out of character for me. As you know I am just finishing the last of my Clan games and will leave RHP. The reason for leaving had to do some with the game I had with you but mostly because an individual cursed me out because I refused to play him.

If you have seen my postings in the thread that ensued, you will see I am very sorry and I will appologize again. I accept I was wrong, it's very hard because their is such obvious (and again if you read the forums it has even been admitted) use of chess engines. I think this is a big problem, but as I said in the thread, I will play no further part in the discussions regarding this. It seems a shame to lose you, I really do feel bad about this and would welcome the chance to play again anytime. Please enjoy your chess and take with you my sincere best wishes.

He sent me a similar message...
I wrote him a message....
I won't paste it all here... but it basically said...
"He apologized... realized he was wrong... I was chatting in the forums with derek before I met you.... and I can't slam on anyone forever, it's not who I am."
Stuff like that... but I did not hear back... yet. I told him before to be sure to keep in touch with me and gave him my email. Told him to surprise me some day and just say "Hey".

It seems at the moment feelings are running high in the forums, please can people just take a step back and lets get back to the friendliness I felt about the site when I first joined. After all we are the best chess site bar none 😵
