San Francisco Bay Area Go Players' Association Monthly AGA Ratings
Tournament
This will be a one-day, four-round, AGA-rated tournament held in the
heart of San Francisco's Japantown. Note we will be squeezing four
rounds of play into one day instead of the usual three, so you won't
want to miss it. All levels are welcome. There will be Go book prizes
for four game winners and those playing in their first AGA-rated
tournament (who play all four rounds).
* Read the tournament flier for more information.
* Register online. (It only takes a moment, and is easier than
filling out a registration form on the day of the tournament.)
* Pay your tournament entry fee online with a credit card or
PayPal.

The original name of this most ancient, elegant & poweful game =3D "_wei
chi_" or "surrounding chess" in Chinese and in Korean "_baduk_".
Should we consider calling it in English "turff" ?
Other possible options include "space, matrix" and "grid".

at any rate, the APA doesn't consider it to be pathological.
apparently you think it is. call it an appeal to authority & an
argument against you but i think you should stick to GO. at least with
that game you can't fuck shit up with specious nonsense.

What "evidence" might that be ?

Why "at any rate" if you had convincing "evidence" ? Who
is the APA? Do they play Go, by any chance? Just asking...

MY 8 FAVORITE FAGGOTS OR
SQUARE HOLE JIG-JIG
By Hal Womack 3-dan
http://www.myspace.com/halwomack
Gosh, the subject of sex, male & female, why that's just about as big
as the universe and this old man has yet to have breakfast this
morning before going off to my weekly lesson in the game of
surrounding aka "_go_*" from my highly esteemed 6-dan teacher.
So for now I will merely pause briefly to reply to the nameless
buttfucker or soi disant "gay man" signing itself as "MtnViewMark
<[email protected] >" [henceforth "2-shy"]. In a post of only
179 words, which pretends to welcome the public to a tournament, 2-shy
manages to call me "hostile, ignorant, rude, nasty and obnoxious,"
apparently based entirely on my second post in this thread, since it
claims that it has "never once encountered" me. This BTW suggests that
2-shy's a rather weak player, since it also claims to have been
"playing Go in the SF Bay Area for on an [sic]
off over the last twenty years." But then it's been simply ages since
the late revered Shinji Dote Sensei took the old SFGC gang down to
Mountain View for a match.
At any rate, the instant twit scarcely sounds very "gay" to me, in the
older sense of the word, of course. Rather screechy, I'd say.
Perhaps nervous about some pussy complex? I encourage HEAR or the
"Hypothetical Ever-Attentive Reader" to review the thread for a fair
evaluation and also welcome jb's grip on the issues.
In the spirit, however, of cheerful compromise, PFAB or "Please Find
Appended Below" below my own little list of public homosexuals in
recent history for whose accomplishments I have great respect. The
queer crowd also put on a great parade here in San Francisco, although
really I would prefer a worthier theme for such a massive celebration.
The first positive result of the DB's local prominence be this: That
when one sees a boy and a girl holding hands here, then one can pretty
well count on it being a sincere & spontaneous affection, rather than
an example of enforced conformity.

gayness is apparently genetic so your premise is not scientifically
sound. you do have issues in the soundness department in general in
your cant.

In 30 years of playing the game of surrounding here in San Francisco,
I can remember meeting only one revealed deebee* across the board or
in the company of other masters. This unique exception was a multi-
dan, a well-mannered & cultured sort reasonably popular in the Club
who long ago emigrated to Japan. Thus it would seem that our game may
act as a strong filter against the DB mindset, given its notorious
prevalence elsewhere in the City.
* aka "D.B." for Dick Bumper, from the Texas joke: "What do they do,
go
out in the woods and B D's ?"
I despise euphemisms, most especially weaselly rip-offs of worthy old
English words which then become adopted as standard usage in the
Official Culture of JAM or the Jewish-American eMpire. Of all such,
surely the most egregious = the gang-raping of the word "gay". All
weddings should be gay, eh what? And what population sub-group could
be grimmer than that which, by excluding marriage & children as its
first principle, has condemned its individual members to suicide in
one generation and of which, furthermore, fully half of the number are
infected with a deadly, incurable, painful, drawn-out and contagious
disease?
Whereas Billy Lee Brammer's 1961 novel* THE GAY PLACE used the word
purely in its then traditional sense, without embarrassment or
campiness whatsoever, four years later
the excellent Ross Thomas in his first novel** gives us one of the
earliest examples of the queer variant.
* {Author Brammer, Billy Lee.
Title The gay place : being three related novels: The flea circus,
Room enough to caper, Country pleasures / William Brammer.
Publication Info. Greenwich, Conn. : Fawcett, 1962, c1961.}
** {"He was gay," Symmes said dully. "Maybe you think it's silly, but
we can tell. We have to able to tell." -- THE COLD WAR SWAP [1966, p.
113] by Ross Thomas.}

"GRID" would be a spot-on name for the game in San Francisco.
"A doctor was treating a gay man in his 20s who had pneumonia. ... it
"gay compromise syndrome".16 Others called it GRID (gay-related immune
