-To our european friends:
-negger does not equal 'nigga' in the USA. While some of you acquaint our
linguistic culture with a loss of freedom, we americans feel assured that we are
protecting the human rights of decent people in enforcing this rule. our charter
suggests that all <<races>> are welcome here equally-- and our forum should be
about computer chess.
( i use the word 'race' in quotes because it is a common fallacy that there are
races- gens una summis)
