"You may or may not know, but Cornel is trying to support himself and some 
part of his family by teaching Go. "

Up to here everything is true! 


"When IGS because aware of this, they 
tried to help him.  They put up a page for/about him, posted the url for the 
page in the motd on the game server, and introduced him to many IGS regular 
players.  He seemed to be doing OK, he gave many lessons on IGS.  I rather 
enjoyed talking to him, too.  He did complain once that he was not doing as 
well financially as he would have liked, but we discussed this some in light 
of things like this taking some amount of time to settle down and become 
stable.  Word of mouth counts a lot in things like this."

Also corrrect !tweet helped me with the condition to quit teaching on kgs in 2
months from when we talk about that so i took all my students from kgs to igs..

"It seems that he then got involved with something called Dashn.com  I have 
never been there, but I gather it's another game server.  "

All happened with this other go server was that bella 4d* on igs alias alexandre
dinnerstein told me about this korean server and i connected there to play a few
games , that's all...


"Someone seems to 
have convinced him that he can do better there as a Go teacher than on IGS.  
A strange precept, in my book.  Cornel and another person, also, I believe, 
involved with Dashn.com then used IGS to shout promotion of Dashn.com"


This is not true at all, i was not thinking to teach on dashn even that one day
before i got kicked out i asked tweet if is ok with him if i have the option to
teach on www.dashn.com and he agreed , because dashn is not a related server
with igs like nngs or wing who copied the protocol as i know..
i never SHOUT about dashn..

" They 
also used tells"  

yes i used tell and talked about dashn with a student of mine Chris23B . after i
finished a lesson with him i just suggest that if he likes to watch a game of
mine witha  strong korean he can simply connect to dashn to watch me and i
explained them what he needs to connect.i don't feel like promoting that server
, i never said dashn is better than igs or sftuff like this..i just simply
explained my students that i am playing there  a nice game..

"Not only did they promote Dashn.com on IGS, they actively 
recruited IGS players to go to Dashn.com "

this is a lie, first of all u have to know that Chris23B was a guy who never
heard of igs till i didn't recruite him from www.kiseido.com ..and there were
some other players from kgs who came on igs for my lessons like:
Lantu,babybaby,february, SAPPHiRE,etc..
so this means that i promoted igs on kgs and they didn't mind ..strange.. 

"Cornel's account was disabled, as 
this is clear violation of 'Ownership and Acceptable Use of IGS'."

yes MyMaster account was completely erased...
and all the other account i used like : live4go , onix, or sensei
i sent a couple of emails to tweet but he never answered..
also a few students of mine contact him and he just replied like :

"He is young he will get over it"

My IP was banned , but is ok cause somebody thinks he is God so he can do
everything he wants .....


"Cornel 
got in touch with IGS admins, tweet in fact, and this usage agreement was 
thoroughly explained to him.  tweet thought he understood, and restored his 
account.  "
I couldn't recoonect on igs after i got my IP banned...so is just a roumour 
that tweet explained somthing to me when he didn't answer..

"Cornel then went ahead and promoted Dashn.com and recruited IGS 
players again, apparently there was something he didn't understand.  The 
admins disabled his account again.  And that is where matters stand at this 
time, to my knowledge.  Sad, really.
malf"

Yeah ,sounds sad that somebody who promise to be a friend and to help he gets
paranoic in a moment and ruin what i did in my last 4 years after i got involved
in igs.
what i understood is that i was a small and indispensable part of igs and IGS is
too big to keep rolling without me so have nice games and enjoy the silence!
With all my sincere thoughts,
Cornel Burzo
