Not defending Alex as such, but no one should be calling anyone here a retard. Very disgusting to say the least and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
I have seen others say ridiculously dumb things in this forum, probably more so than Alex, and haven't heard anyone stoop so low as to call them a retard.
None of us know who he really is which is very good because that's the way it should be on this site but I venture he is extremely intelligent and playing all of you. Who else in the forums gets so much attention.
And for those who think he isn't Canadian because of his sentence structures, or the way he speaks, need some educating. Not everyone happens to be fluent in English in every freaking country in the world.
I have played Alex a number of times and he has always been polite and a good sport, so what we need to do here is accept some eccentricity (look it up) on Alex's part and accept him as one of the wgt members who likes posting his thoughts and goals.
He doesn't deserve the bashing some of you (not all, some have been very helpful) are giving him. If any of the bashers want a match, come and take this old man on, I might even give you a hole to start.
