I'd like to see this thread deleted, or certainly modded back to direct testimony. 4th party heresay about a person's culture, beliefs and motivations is a bit much. George didn't open the door to this thread, he's not here to correct the record, and you know, the general vibe of the thing.
Carry on! You're all doing very well.

Proposal to moderate George Xie thread
There is no cure for leftism. Its infestation of the host mostly diminishes with age except in the most rabid of specimens.

I agree. I know some things about George (nothing bad) but this is not the place to state them,

Makes sense. It is rather tastless to have threads about living Australian chess personalities, especially those who, for reasons that are nobody else's business, are not participating here.
“The history of the 20th century is full of examples of countries that set out to redistribute wealth and ended up redistributing poverty.”
“There’s no point blaming the tragedies of socialism on the flaws or corruption of particular leaders. Any system which allows some people to exercise unbridled power over others is an open invitation to abuse, whether that system is called slavery or socialism or something else.”—Thomas Sowell
