That teaser image is brutal. A simple photo would have been more appropriate.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to steal anyone's copyright photo, so I did a pencil sketch, but as you can tell, I'm more of a scientist than an artist ...

The NLPS guy is not an artist on the inside.
Don't worry I however do like the sketch that you did :)

I am sorry. I didn't know that you are a scientist and an artist. As an apology, I too drew a sketch, of you:

Actually, I drew two versions, choose the one which you like better. I will delete the other.

Chess dudes that think that their rating means that they're a better human need to realize, that they have wasted their whole life playing a board game, and because of that, it's highly likely that you're completely under-prepared to be a decent human being. Get a life you pencil necks, you move pieces on a board.

Thank you. They are both nice, the one with and without the freckles.

But, it's not about me.

Oh yeah chess makes you a stalker just like videogames make you violent and vaccines give you autism, right?

It's a sad affair. Regarding this more recent complaint, on one hand, everyone can misread the situation and mistake politeness for interest and even rejection for banter initially, but when you start insulting the other person because you finally realized that you'd been rejected, it's beyond excuse.

I don't know if it's excessive pressure, or health issues or just being an a-hole, but people who come to tournaments in any capacity should not be expected to deal with outbursts of this kind and to go there fearing what a certain player might do, so a suspension would not be unwarranted. From his side, Yoo needs to figure things out. If there are people putting pressure on him, they need to relieve it, if he needs to work through some health issues, then he should do it, and not just for the sake of his career, and otherwise he needs to clean up his act before being allowed into polite society again.

I am just more inclined to think about this as a troubled youth, he needs time off maybe a few years, but a complete lifeban or sth is too out of place.

even if he apologized I still feel like something is wrong I mean 4th degree assault that is not right and saying housekeeping at the door and knocking the door for 10 min or so is beyond limits he should be suspended for 2 years AT LEAST!

The 60 day suspension is only waiting for a decision to be made in Yoo's trial.
