Villify me then, Tyler, since the only reason he mentioned flags was because I corrected his six piece enum values to twelve, needing to account for black vs. white pieces. So if the scope of the conversation went beyond an appropriate level for teaching basic OOP, the fault lies with me.

sina: He wants to learn OOP. You just jumped in with flags and everything else. Lets take this one step at a time. I was not attacking you for trying to help, I was pointing out that it is a bit to soon to throw in flags, and your one-line lets use flags for color, is going to be more confusing to anyone new to OOP than anything else.

It's you being your usual self, but please do not ever attack anyone, including myself, when we are trying to help someone else. That's unacceptable. Very few things push my buttons like people being attacked for helping others learn. To whomever has the thankless job of moderating this list, I'd appreciate an official response on this please?
