Different to your final insult (read also my article against defamation with
peseudo-psychiatric diagnoses by laymen - in the given link of my Homepage) you
will never read something the like from my side. But when I see clear handicaps
in someone's reasoning and logic then it's not insultive to give a clear-cut
judgement. In short how could you communicate with me when you don't understand
my points? Sure - it's always kind of irony when a not really bright pupil
begins to accuse his teacher. In other words, your vision of someone who has a
bad management for the presentation of his arguments is completely wrong. And by
definition this is leading to unwilling comedy. Perhaps you can now understand
that you never had a conversation with me. What we had is a failed lesson for
you how to behave with politeness and thoughtful arguments. But this is now
really my last message to you. It is beyond my understanding why you wanted to
teach me psychology, correction: what you understand under psychology - that is
as if I called Bob and taught him how to avoid typical errors in the coding with
bitboards. :)

[Our little exchange is also a good demonstration for the question by B. Eklund
how one could discover if a player is machine or human. I think the answer is
clear in the games of DJ and Kasparov. Bertil jumped up and down about games 5
and 6. But these games were no games. After 1.e4 e5 you couldn't define either
on which side who is playing. BTW of such a level of logic we have many
arguments in CC.]
