My accounts(ii, jiang) were banned from IGS all because I
'tell' a friend of mine that I don't feel like tweet. My friend
was asking me that why I didn't register the LG on igs.

I have my reasons to dislike tweet. I have won a chance to play
Ms. Feng Yun 8p through a tournament held on nngs. But somehow
Ms. Feng Yun appeared on igs the day that I was supposed to play her
on nngs. One of tweet's friends, Songyi, directed her to igs.
I was not involved in the server war of the time. But I did feel
pathetic about tweet for the thing he did.

As a long time igser, I am always aware of what should not be said on
igs. Anyway, I don't think that 'don't feel like tweet' in a private talk
is enough to be a reason to get banned.

Is IGS still "tweet's house", or it's the "house" of the Korean company
now? Perhaps you should go deal directly with that company to argue
your case. I do think the banning is too much for that. And it seems
there's so much monitoring on IGS, quite scary...

I don't think the sysop can moniter any private
talk. Is there not any Law such as Electronic
Communications Privacy Act in Korean? Even
a employer can't moniter his employee's talk.
How come this sysop can do so?

I think that -- under US law -- yes, an employer CAN
monitor your email if you send/recieve it through their
computers.

Unforturnately, this is true. As tweet emphasized many times,
IGS is a private territory that he can do what he wants to do.
Indeed, he proved his word many times.

Probably all tells on IGS are quickly sifted through for certain key
words like tweet, igs, lgs and so on. If you want to have a conversation
there, do like they do in any land run by a paranoid dictator, use code
words for everything. 'twat'= tweet, 'down under'=nngs etc. But be
careful, his paranoia and snoopmania know no bounds. I had an
account deleted for the following in my info line: 'Bannlyst av
Stora Pippin'. This means 'banned by big bird' in Swedish. Tweet
obviously has translator-spies in every corner of the globe, and
tolerates not the slightest bit of fun.

Tweet should learn to laugh at himself, everything becomes so much
easier that way.

Hi,
I can not believe that tweet pays his money for IGS.
Does someone know sponsors of IGS?
Do sponsors know about tweet behavior?
He is sick. I had some conversation with him via e-mail
and got it clear. He can not organize normal public relations.
IGS suffer from it a lot.
