General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
Awww, poor Pargat/Paul. He doesn't like scientific findings, so he declares the journal full of right-wing bigots.
The difference is Pargat/Paul bases this on nothing.Pargat/Paul correctly implied here that just because he signed up on a chess forum to shill for Paul Bonham's chess variants and just because he shares the same interests as Paul Bonham it is not proof that he is Paul Bonham.
However, unlike Pargat/Paul, I based my opinion on facts that are not disputed by Pargat/Paul. Hence, since you are entitled to your opinion about who is behind the Cochrane Library, I am entitled to my opinion (backed by evidence) that you are Paul Bonham and a cowardly troll who doesn't even go by your true name.
LOL the tired old refrain, I am really Paul Bonham ... is that the best you got?
Even if I was, it would have no bearing on this discussion.
I hope Mr. Bonham might still be alive, we were very close friends. If I ever hear from him, I will commend him on establishing such a great reputation on this forum LOL.If you can stir the anger of Sid, you are really doing something good.
Yes, you Sid have the right to that opinion. Now go ahead and prove it ....
A couple of questions for you Sid.
If you think it is ok to listen to Wagner despite his pro-Nazi leanings, maybe you also like the sound of "Horst-Wessel-Lied"? Hmmm? You like, ja? You play it at a bar mitzvah, ja?
But here's a more interesting question, since you are well-versed in genetics. As you know, Nazis did genetic experiments on Jews during WWII, against the will of those Jews in case it must be said.
I don't know what they "discovered" but if we say they did make scientific discoveries, are you prepared to say their method was ok because of the science that came out of it?
ARE YOU PREPARED TO SEPARATE THE SCIENCE FROM THE SCIENTIST(s) IN THAT CASE?
Yeah...... gotcha.
We have a convicted felon running for US President, and there's a chance he will win.
We have a US Supreme Court that says it's ok to manufacture bumper stocks for automatic weapons, enabling machine-gun-like firing on mass crowds by perrveted mentally-ill psychos.
Let's all separate the art from the artist, the science from the scientist, the morals from the politicians..... let the convicted felon run for God's sake (literally, thanks to evangelical Christians)....
MTG says it's ok because Jesus was a convicted felon too!
"As I have been warning about for years, the Spike Protein "Prionifies" multiple proteins, creating amyloid aggregates. They are now in the blood supply".
Amyloid aggregates are the building blocks of neural degenerative diseases, including Alzheimers, Parkinson etc.
"I wanted to post an additional finding this week which was published May 29th. Spike protein contamination and contamination with amyloid aggregates (among other issues) have been found in blood products from those vaccinated with mRNA gene therapies.
"I take no pleasure in having been correct about this warning. I will be reporting more on how the Spike Protein “Prionifies” multiple proteins via its cross-seeding abilities.
Of course, I will be researching therapeutics to address this finding.
What concerns me the most is that the Spike Protein may indeed either intergrate into DNA, never stop being produced, or both."
I'm not the one going around saying I separate the art from the artist. Ayn Rand? I once read one of her books, realized what she was, and repudiate everything she stands for and have no need to read her books, literary talent notwithstanding.
You want to listen to Wagner's music knowing he was rabid antisemite? You discredit yourself and your heritage! Anyone who respects you for this is an IDIOT!
MORALS AND ETHICS COME BEFORE EVERYTHING ELSE.
IF YOU PUT SOMETHING ELSE ... MUSIC, EVEN SCIENCE ... AHEAD OF MORALS AND ETHICS, YOU ARE INHUMANE.
You want to listen to music that matters, listen to the music and lyrics of Roger Waters (bass player Pink Floyd, solo artist).
Let us not forget: Sid is the one who is preaching here that the science of Covid in 2020 and 2021 was inhumane and criminal, that is, the science that said we need to vaccinate and mask and social distance. THAT SCIENCE WAS BASED ON MORALS AND ETHICS, NOT ON SOME HAIR-BRAINED CONSPIRACY THEORY OF BILL GATES AND CHINA TRYING TO SUBVERT THE WHOLE WORLD AND DEPRIVE US OUR "RIGHT" TO GO MASKLESS, A MESSAGE THAT SID WAS PREACHING ON TWITTER AT THE TIME, AS EXPOSED IN THIS THREAD (go back and read).
So, morals and ethics were telling us to do the careful things, the things that would help the greatest number of souls. You want to respect something, respect THAT.
Sorry Peter McKillop, it has to be said. Respect has to be earned, not given away willy-nilly because someone says glibly, "I separate the art from the artist" ... effing bullshit.
When the "science" agrees with Sid ... he separates the science from the scientist. When they disagree .... LOL you know what comes from Sid, profanity included.
I don't separate. The Cochrane Library is full of right-wing bigots? I determine that BEFORE I read their scientific articles. IMO yes, so I don't "respect" what they offer.
The effing U.S. Supreme Court is full of right-wing Justices ... and guess what we just got from them? Bumper stocks are LEGAL!
FIRE AT WILL, AMERICAN PSYCHOS! OUTDOOR MUSIC CONCERT LISTINGS ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE!
That "science" was based on eugenics, and that is a historical fact, not a "hair-brained conspiracy theory." If you know
how to do it, please read what I already posted and listen carefully to the video. https://forum.chesstalk.com/forum/ch...315#post231315

The State of Kansas outlines several specific allegations in its lawsuit:
1. Pfizer misled the public that it had a “safe and effective” COVID-19 vaccine.
2. Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was safe even though it knew its COVID-19 vaccine was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths. Pfizer concealed this critical safety information from the public.
3. Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was effective even though it knew its COVID19 vaccine waned over time and did not protect against COVID-19 variants. Pfizer concealed this critical effectiveness information from the public.
4. Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine would prevent transmission of COVID-19 even though it knew it never studied the effect of its vaccine on transmission of COVID-19.
5. To keep the public from learning the truth, Pfizer worked to censor speech on social media that questioned Pfizer’s claims about its COVID-19 vaccine.
6. Pfizer’s misrepresentations of a “safe and effective” vaccine resulted in record company revenue of approximately $75 billion from COVID-19 vaccine sales in just two years.
7. Pfizer’s actions and statements relating to its COVID-19 vaccine violated previous consent judgments with the State of Kansas.
8. Pfizer’s actions and statements relating to its COVID-19 vaccine violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, K.S.A. 50-623 et seq., regardless of whether any individual consumer ultimately received Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
9. Pfizer must be held accountable for falsely representing the benefits of its COVID19 vaccine while concealing and suppressing the truth about its vaccine’s safety risks, waning effectiveness, and inability to prevent transmission.

I have always maintained that the character of the messenger should be distinguished from the truth of the message being brought.
I have also always maintained that the message of a flawed messenger must be more scrutinized than that of a messenger of good character (But one should not just rely on authority; you must make your own judgment about the truth of a message).

Hmmmm .... just wondering how many times has Sid posted here ranting against some scientist who disagrees with Sid's views, on the "grounds" that that scientist is some left-wing kook ... and you look up the scientist and see that s/he has excellent credentials in both academics and work experience ....
I'll say this one thing about it.... all based on Sid's many past posts exhibiting his famous ranting temper against those who disagree with him....
Sid is as objective .... as he wants to be.

Sid,
Did you see Pargat/Paul's demeaning of the Cochrane Library, one of the most respected sources of information in Medicine? That just illustrates the foolish ignorance he spews in his posts :-)

That seems to be a highly principled way of handling these very difficult situations. I respect you, Sid.

Similarly, I separate the science from the scientist, and Dr.Bhakdu is easily one of the most credentialed immunologists in the world.
By the way, when it comes to vaccine mandates Israel forced on its citizenry at the time the article was written
I agree with Dr. Bhakdi about his remarks within that context. He was charged in Germany for those remarks and found not guilty.
. What the Netanyahu government forced on its citizens was a horrible betrayal of the Israeli population.
