Why don't you guys find something to do worth while in chess rather than discredit another? Come on....

Originally posted by Lex RexIt's not trash talk or an attempt to discredit. The anonymity and potential to mislead in profiles has been well discussed. It's conjecture and for front page players it goes with the territory.. that's a harsh fact on this site but true. A "where did that picture come from and why" is about as mild as it gets. Why not just leave it there and ignore me ? Or come back with a witicism ? I did what I would do if I were faking a profile. I went to google images and searched "old man in hat". Up popped K&P. If as you say it's actually him I find that unusual.

Is the c word suppose to be a computer?
In the past misleading profiles have often led to a player tripping
themselves up and getting banned. A picture on a profile means nothing
I'd say 50% of the pics are phoney (mines is real, that is me).
I don't think the lad is at it but now he spat out the dummy and thrown
the toys out of the pram.....
This place is notorious for 2+2=5. Ask Skeeter.
His picture is all over the place.

Perhaps the picture was removed because it may infringe some copyright issue.
It appears to be the property of Stock Xching.
and has the following legal agreement.

But surely if the picture is of yourself then.........
If it is him then he should have left it up and made us look even sillier.
I see he has changed his profile as well.
Nobody has doubted his authenticity.
Originally posted by Lex RexHere's another thing I find unusual. A guy who's currently on a 5 month trip to Africa and moves very infrequently and never posts in the forums happens to roll up within seconds of the "revelation". I dunno.. 2+2=4.. 2+2=5.. maybe it's even 6 ? ( Tip. quick.. change your profile )

Hi KP.
Pity you removed your profile. It was so sweet people reading it twice.
No doubt I'll get the blame. I always do.
BTW How is the 'awesome family'.
Being an old timer myself I like it when when fellow old boys use trendy words.
It makes us appear so young.
Anyway I hope you got loads of royalties on that picture.
