Dealing with the nameless hired Jew hazbarat "Bantari" <***@gmail.com> merely like picking a crushed bug off the floor with a piece of kleenex. The latter a bit more of a chore for a fatman like me, actually. Let's designate that heckler as FN2 or "Fake Name" after the previous kosher kockroach "alex" <***@gmail.com> whose shell lies further down in the garbage pail of this thread.
FN2's biggest achievement here, by far, was to draw in a supporter who, in addition to showing his true name, actually ranks as a individual of importance on the international "barbarian" (my term) _baduk_ scene, to wit, Robert Jasiek
<***@snafu.de> . Sensei's Library* offers more info re Mr. Jasiek.

The relation between FN2 and the perhaps distressed Jasiek resembles that between Bibi and Angela Merkel, another German of sad note. The reason why the defeated Germans continue for generations egregiously to kiss the ass of murdering Jews and to shovel them huge piles of valuta and even to provide them with missile-launching submarines which directly threaten the physical existence of the German nation itself among many others, this reason I dare say, be plain to see: World Jewry smashed the Germans in the Atomic War aka WW2. Since then, furthermore, the Jews have only improved their strategic position. _Vae victis!_ As the Romans were wont to say or "Woe to the conquered!" The J's, of course, accomplished their victory and have maintained it only via leverage over 97+% NAG [Chorus: Normal, Alias "Gentile"] populations in the former USSR and in the USA. A tricky biz and manifestly getting more that way alla time, every day.
The J's started this thread about lil' ol' me, who myself was and am otherwise merely passing on to rgg various players' casual discussions from the KGS chat room. Even the J's thread here in my name has some relation to the game, although a notably more distant one than that of my own threads. The J's, having by far the sorest of all guilty consciences and with excellent reason therefor, are totally dedicated to suppressing free speech, which they seek first to mislabel and next to prohibit as "Hate Speech", meaning any honest reference to their many awful crimes and lies. WRT witch I have long preached the doctrine, amended from Augustine of Hippo [354 - 430 AD], of "love the criminal and hate the crime" as well as my personal motto of TJAM "For Truth, Justice And the Milky way".
Since the FN's or hazbaratz and Robert Jasiek have here addressed me, however, I take the opportunity to say that campaigning for justice, for the utter destruction of the murderers of children, such a course of righteous action improves both my digestion and my dream life, even while it's in progress, let alone on the anticipated day of victory. In order to enjoy the latter, one must certainly observe Chairman Mao's fundamental instruction to respect the opponent tactically, while despising him strategically. That and luck, too.
Our squeaky FN's here OTOH, despite having behind them the entire Roar And Snarl of JAPE [Chorus: the Jew-American Planetary Empire], still rightly tremble in fear of the future day when the Seven Billion will crush the ghouls of GM'14 and of so many other atrocities, including standard Black Ops like the most recent bloody provocation against the Paris slimezine. _Como decimos aqui en California, ellos son Bibi._ Me, Je suis Gaza. So today the hirelings take their shekels as grunts in the Infowar and hide their names, as if such clumsy cowardice will save them on the Day of Judgment.
Will we now pause to recall:
[WIKI: The Nanking massacre occurred during a six-week period starting from December 13, 1937, the day that the Japanese captured Nanking, which was then the Chinese capital. During this period, between 40,000 to over 300,000 (estimates vary) Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants were murdered by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army.]
At the moment of this notorious atrocity, by far the dominant world power in our game was the Nihon Ki-in of Tokyo. Did any of the then masters publicly express an opinion on the current event? Did their role rather resemble that today of WMS WRT GM'14? Does learning from one's mistakes have anything to do with strength in our art? Judging by the bodies of the 500 murdered children lying before the silence (at best) of Three Monkeys, pro's all at the top, the relationship looks ambiguous, here to say only the least. My former employee Jiang Jujo 9P --who later this month BTW is due to revisit* San Francisco, together with his honorable & also very famous wife Rui NaiWei 9P-- told me long ago that for over a millennium strength in our game was the first of the four marks of the Mandarin, the scholar/official ruling class of China.

Although there are tens of thousands of players (including Mr. Jasiek) stronger in the game than my humble self, I am AFAIK the only analyst of world politics who has been using rank in the game as part of my pen-name for these last twenty years and more. FWIW.
Repeating a Q:
Should we rename the game "turff" in English?
Q#2 = Suppose a present day reincarnation of the late Mr. Ing Chang-ki of Taiwan were to put oomph behind this suggestion? Then what might happen?
Q#3 = Whereas, according to my last available data*, Chinese dollar holdings = $3.89 trillion, what is General Secetary Xi Jinping actually doing with this big gold mountain of his?

Meanwhile, however, howzabout such an extremely simple & tiny expenditure as a tournament offering a Million Dollar or 6245600.00 Chinese Yuan first prize? Host it here in San Francisco, make a respectful gesture to the memory of my late honored sensei Shinji Dote 4d, and open the first round to all comers worldwide. Knock-out, of course, one shudders to think of the mind-numbing "Swiss-McMahon-Schlumberger" alternative. [Until the last round, losers' slough ponds could be arranged for those interested, who would be many, especially with some consolation prizes aka chump change.] The preliminaries could be organized internationally to allow maximum initial competition while reducing travel requirements for that stage. The first on-site round should be larger than that of any existing tournament with all expenses paid by the host, a la the good ol' days of the Nihon Ki-in & pre-bankrupt JAL (Avert the omen!).
Will we now consider Plan B of the proposed tournament in which "B" stands for "Barbarian"? Let's say that the prize money for the various "B" places would stand at 75% of those for the Open Section. Players native to the Three Home Countries or from the Diaspora thereof would be eligible for the Open Section only. The bold motive for creating the "B" List = promoting the diffusion of the game to the Round Eyes or Big Noses or howsoever we wish to designate the Other-Than-Slope Breeds of the 3 HC's of North Asia, wherever they may dwell. Note that Vietnamese Vietnamese, Cambodians and the like are eligible for the B List in this scheme. I personally assume that were my old friend Michael Redmond 9P (an OTS born in 1963 in Santa Barbara, California), I say, were Michael to lose in the later rounds of the A List, as WADR or "With All Due Respect" seems likely, then he would continue as a favorite in the B List, according to the probabilities of this so far purely hypothetical notion.
I would further recommend that the hosts take pains to extend a particularly friendly hand to areas which have suffered exceptionally grievous injury, such as Guatemala, Gaza, Iraq, and Afghanistan, here only to begin the list of such. I would also feature as part of the decor one or more of the historic paintings* of the notorious USGov torture scenes @ Abu Ghraib by the renowned Fernando Botero.

For diplomatic reasons we could mobilize some indigenous American support for this last item. JAR or the Jew-American Regime is in disgrace with the feck of the Am pop, despite Clunt Eastwood to the contrary.
The publicity & prestige value to China of such a gesture to pan-racial cultural evolution would IMHO be such as to justify even a modest honorarium to the chap who proposed it in the first place, eh what, Mr. Xi? Just sayin', you know, barbarianwise.

Post by Hal Womack 3-dan[Tom's premise is that there is very little real dissent in the United States, where the confines of what the political and media classes have declared to be allowable opinion are extremely narrow. The bipartisan foreign-policy consensus is a good example: you can favor somewhat more or somewhat less foreign intervention, or you may criticize the precise form that a particular intervention takes, but you may not reject the overall framework root and branch, or even raise fundamental questions about it.
Should you stray from these boundaries of opinion, you will simply be excluded from the discussion, and likely smeared and vilified to boot.
As Tom points out, one thing you won't receive if you stray from approved opinion is any kind of refutation. The gatekeepers will not deign to show what is wrong with your position. What is wrong is that it is unapproved. It is enough to declare you a heretic, and leave it at that.]

Post by BantariPost by Oregonian HaruspexPost by BantariAbout this forum... you can have another 100 posts on-topic here each
day, and because of posts like Hal's, or Viagra spam, or links to weird
places - this will still not be an appropriate place for a
family-friendly community.
It's true, but this is also true of Hyde Park, or the village square,
or any sidewalk anywhere on earth.
The beauty of Usenet, compared to web forums, is that you conduct your
own censorship.
You are right, but this is not my point.
Self-censorship, even without killfiles and filters, just by simply not reading the stuff, is always an option. But if this was a real solution, there would be no need for filters, killfiles, and all that jazz. Just like there would be no need for parental control. Or for real moderation.
To perform self-censorship requires certain levels of maturity and restraint. Many of us don't have it. Some, like children or teens, cannot be expected to have it. So, if you think about general go-related family-friendly forum - usenet is pretty much out, for the reasons you state. At least - this is my opinion.
Additionally, many, if not most of us are lazy. Why perform your own censorship if there is somebody out there doing it for you? Why bother with scanning for all that garbage when it is not needed?
True, usenet is useful. But ask yourself this - why did virtually the whole community moved off to another forum, moderated forum, the moment it became available? It was sure not because of the new shiny interface. They all could have self-moderated, but they rather left so they don't have to deal with that crap. Now what is left on rgg is a few die-hards like RJ (who have good reasons for using rgg but also make extensive use of L19, I might add) and a few blow-hards like H.A.L. who know what they do would never fly faced with any reasonable moderation. And some people stopped posting altogether since there is nobody here and they cannot do their stuff on a moderated forum (malf et al.)
I think this paints a clear picture of what the community at large wants and needs. And this does not take away from all the advantages of usenet - it is a great tool and good thing to have. But maybe not really suitable for what most go social-minded players want at this time. And I don't think creating more go-related content will change that. There was a lot of that at the time people moved out, and they still moved out.
That's all I am saying.
