That may well be possible, I've made a lot of enemies lately, mind you, they are people I would never be-friend. Sometimes, at the very least to comfort you're integrity, it's good to have the RIGHT enemies, and the RIGHT allies. I may well go down because of heated exchanges with those who have declared themselves thy enemy against me without hardly kno ...[text shortened]... t, it would be a case of a popularity contest. I'm not afraid to take on those who are popular.
I'm not sure why you emphasise the word RIGHT in such a way. I'm also uncertain how you came to make so many enemies in such a short time.

Out of interest, where do you live?

Your English is very good for someone from Greece.

P.s. I'm not popular, are you afraid to take me on?

Why should I "take you on"? What's the point? This isn't High School, I don't look/pick fights out. What is this?

This is not a popularity contest. We are not running for office. We have volunteered to do a difficult and time consuming task.

Cases are tackled on a first-in first-out basis, and mostly come from non-trivial complaints received from RHP members. Only the evidence is considered.

Whether someone is "nice" or not has nothing to do with game mode ...[text shortened]... he credibility and the integrity in that?

Everyone deserves equal respect and fair treatment.
What I'm saying is that your team needs to get the respect of the membership. While you can do this by busting the OBVIOUS cheaters, you should not bust the people who are in the "grey area"... which is what you did with Exy.

I support the mods. But you will not get the respect you need from the membership by busting the people who are obviously not abusing the general membership. Take Exy for example... he might have been tempted while looking over his games to consult the engine in Winboard. And I'm giving you the "reasonable doubt" that you say he actually did. I don't know. But I DO KNOW that there are a whole lot of cheaters who are using engines in ALL their games - nearly EVERY ONE of their moves! THESE are the cheaters that you need to make it your priority to bust. You take out the people who are actually abusing your paying members and you are heros!

I was merely responding to your assertion that you weren't afraid to take on the popular folk here. I figured you may be afraid to take on the less popular. My warped sense of humour plus a late night plus a few Jamesons I guess. Profound apologies.

Would you care to answer my questions though... where are you from & how come your written English is so good?

Anyways, I rather enjoy these conflicts. I also enjoy the personna of "mystery man/woman/machine/or whatever" you guys feel the need to put on me. It's all entertaining, it's like a good game of clue or a great novel. Maybe I'm just messing with you guys heads, ever thought of that?

Conflict? I'm just trying to chat you up - I love my men sweaty and hairy.

I want to 'massage your ego' a bit more, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

What's my age? What's my skin colour? Who's my girlfriend/wife? Are you Gary Kasparov? I'm not hear to awnser every question about myself. While I admit it's amusing your so interested/curious in knowing so much about a little nickname online.

If you come here being all bullish and arrogant, then you've gotta expect someone to ask you to put your credentials on the line.

I'm interested in what you've got to say in response to my questions.

And I have no reason, and can choose, not to awnser them. I don't see these questions being mandatorily posed on anyone else. Maybe some day I will tell more about myself, but not this day. In good time. 😀
