Over the years I visit this site, just to see if anything worthwhile has been written. I am never disappointed with Turnoi and his propensity for upsetting a large portion of the community with his gibberish. The idea that he has a stellar reputation is laughable as it has always been my understanding that stellar suggests something positive. If there was ever an example of a reprehensible, negative hate filled human being I believe it would be Turnoi. I truly feel sorry for anyone who comes into contact with him on a regular basis.

I have mixed feeling about this one. To my mind Turnoi has had a considerable influence in making this forum what it is today. In other words it's even more successful than Daves Cafe (which I have never posted on) where you could wait weeks before you get a new post. That now infamous DegreeDiscussions forum where the threads in question have been locked for years now still gets more view than all their other threads put together. Now Turnoi is no longer with us (maybe) but he is still responsible for even posts coming in today.

As I say I have mixed feelings. I dread going out now in case i see a group of tough looking Germans standing around a black limousine with Herr Professor in it, chain smoking, hungry for blood.

Maybe Turnoi needs to return and be reined in a bit more.

Having said all that your post is spot on in describing Turnoi. A very good post.
