Why not let Norman return to chess community

[Zach Wegner]

Since Norman has made great contribution to chess, I think it's time to let him return to our community.

Actually, he hasn't.

Well, the contributions aren't huge, but they are useful, and besides he has been banned for 7 months or something like that......

I have no doubt you could probably have ported Robbo to Windows, fixed the ponder and made it more stable, a lot of people here probably could have. But, they didn't. Norman did. Even though he is banned. Pretty nice of him, no?

Why do we have 2 or 3 posts for the same person what is this? Is it his birthday or something? Sounds like a bunch of giddy girls following a rockstar. Just like a boy band, engines come and go. Please no flashing your chest ladies...ROFL

People are not engines, in spite of the fact that people also come and go, like engines. The difference is that people have feelings, and that's the thing you don't have a clue.

Look up the word "sarcastic" Slobodan.

Contribution to chess has nothing to do with banning. He was banned for violating the charter.

To be more precise, he kept saying Rybka was a clone but provided no proof.

You may notice that many here accused Ippolit and co. to be a clone without providing a proof. I don't remember any of them has been banned...

A damned untruth/halsehood. He wasnt banned for saying this but because he sold his several clones to the people and that is a crime. Therefore it's alsi in itself dirty to argue that he ported something to Windows and that were a fantastic contribution. This is similar (although one cannot compare the two cases!) to a murderer Bloodgood who spent a life sentence in jail and became a 1.g4 expert. IMO we cant ignore true crimes alone for the integrity of our youth. But honestly I would prefer Bloodgood as a chess expert over Kranium, who BTW is also playing around with many pseudos, and he is, above all, betraying chess fans with his clones. While Bloodgood didnt murder a chessplayer. So that one could argue that his chess dedication had absolutely nothing to do with chess! Other than with Kranium who abused chess fans themselves. That is why I see him a lot more dangerous than a murderer who sits forever in jail.

That's a bit harsh Rolf.

Why?

A murderer in jail is harmless but a betrayer in freedom will always continie to commit fraud.

A lot of people are simply misguided with regards to the Ippo code and where it came from.
I'm sure that once the truth comes out, most will drop it like a hot potato.
It's the ones who still want to promote it and use it and deny its origins even after that, that we need to get rid of.
Just my opinion.

Mods, I think it is about time you stop sitting on your asses and ban Rolf and all others, who are making such outrageous accusations against a single individual.
