I guess so.
A guy in the UK was jailed for Trolling just this week. He used an alias.
Of course his trolling was pretty hideous compared to the handbags at dawn here.
He was flaming the site of a deceased young girl.

It is laughable that people like Green Pawn/skeeter refer to me as Cludi, WITHOUT A SINGLE SHRED OF PROOF. Obviously in your warped mind you can SLANDER PEOPLE and make a FALSE ACCUSATION and this is all in order.

In any case you only need to be able to count to one to look back and see who started it. Careful what you do with your avatar tho... that "might" be copyright infringement.
Diophantus, you are a duck loving son of a mallard!

words is simply to attempt to engage them in a discussion about chess, it works an
absolute treat and comes with a lifetime guarantee, its like holding a silver crucifix
to a vampire, 'back foul daemon, your not sucking my blood', try it, works every
time 🙂
and just to keep it legit, here a chess position for you to ponder over, taken from
Karpovs book, My best games, page 145, Karpov v Yusupov, 55th Russian
championship, Moscow 1988, white to move.
what move did Karpov play and why? No peeky peeky!

There was a famous case involving slander or libel in Britain in the 1950s (I think, might have been 60s) involving a doctor who was found to have worked in concentration camps during the war. Although it was all true, publishing it was still defamation of character because it damaged the guy's good reputation. I think he got one ha'penny in damages, that being the lowest denomination coin of the realm.
More to the point, can I claim it is defaming the character of a long dead Greek (Greek Egyptian who was a Roman citizen) if I insist on hiding behind his name? Can one non-existent character (Kopatov) be defamed by being mistaken for a board game?

Robbie - I suspect any book "written" by Karpov was most likely ghost authored, K was too busy collecting stamps to actually write anything.
page 11, Introduction.
This book is being published 32 years after i first became world champion. . . . .
.many of the games were annotated by me immediately after the matches were
played . . . .opening theory is constantly developing, invalidating earlier
assessments, for this reason I have discarded most of the earlier variations in
favour of the latest opening ideas . . . .I offer my thanks to the well known Moscow
chess master Evgeny Gik, a co-author of many years standing, for his
indispensable help and also to Ken Neat for his translation into English.
Anatoly Karpov
Now dear Nimzo, i have no reason to disbelieve Karpov when he says that many of
his games were annotated immediately after they were played, nor any reason to
disbelieve that he updated those annotations when theory threw new light upon
them, do you? His annotations are always in the first person.

Well Robbie are you happy now.
Karpov v Yusupov, 55th Russian championship, 1988
Skeets talk chess all the time. You are just simply not good enough to spot it.
She posted:
"Nice sky in Canterbury tonight - balmy 18 degrees. Couple of salmon steaks,
Greek salad and a rather good chardonnay. Couple of games on the go..."
"Nice sky in Canterbury tonight - balmy 18 degrees."
Convert 18 degress Celsius to Fahrenheit and you get 64 - number of squares
on a chessboard. So you know this has to do with chess.
"Nice sky in Canterbury tonight."
The Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra are appearing at the Marlowe Theatre,
Canterbury on Sun, Oct 16, 2011. Google this if you don't believe me.
So you know the lady talking about a game played in Moscow.
The last posted game in the thread was Karpov v Yusupov Moscow 1988.
"Couple of games on the go..."
Couple = two. there are two more clues to look for...
"Couple of salmon steaks"
She is answering you personally Robbie. Be flattered.
Where in Scotland do you get salmon from. The river Dee
"Greek salad and a rather good chardonnay."
Go to Zorba Mediterranean Taverna a Greek Restaurant on
25 High Street Glasgow G1 1LX.
Check the menu. Item No.Five
"Salad with a rather good chardonnay."
She gave the answer "Dee - Five" which translates to d5.
Which is the move Karpov played.
