Go up one level in this thread


This is a club and a club gathers people that like to be into it. By the same
token a club rejects people that the concurrence does not like to be with. So a
club have a right to accept or not the coming of anybody and a club can suspend,
expulse, etc. All that is OK, legally speaking, but still that does not speak
well of a club  doing so because a member or candidate to be does not fit
enterily in the average conformation of the club constituency. Doing that we are
less a group of reasonably smart people than a bunch of old ladies playing cards
and watching one to another with suspictions and bad will. Chris is not the most
pleasant guy in the creation, not an amiable guy at least in his virtual
incarnation, but so are a lot of people here if just one dares to face his ideas
or dogmas about everything. Maybe moderators has his reasons, but the core of
the issue is the kind of reasons that seems to be enought here for people to
feel with reasons to do this. So we are idiots according to Chris? Well, who
knows. Maybe I should punish my wife that certainly consider I am an idiot
expending time with this "chess thing" and this "chess computer talking,
writting and reading thing". But I will not. From her point of view she is
right: I am a complete idiot. According to Chris we are idiots also inside this
little, unimportant  realm of chess computers. So what? It is neccesary to be an
extreme idiot for not realizing any of us is an idiot outside our particular
fields of expertise and sometimes even inside them. It is OK for me to be warned
about that from time to time. Of course Chris is also an imbecile or he would
not come here to lose time and be expulsed.  Maybe he loves that, so he is a
neurotic kind of idiot. Me too. I will be flamed by this post, I know, and
nevertheless I continue writting it. What an idiot.
