You say you asked questions. Refuted! Because if you are NOT experienced enough then ask questions but dont insult with such ugly dirt! Gert, because you couldn't follow the debate, that doesn't justify that you insinuate that some noble man might be involved/interested in witchhunts. Idont know your profession but say you are an engineer. Now you build bridges. And for a particular question you make a qualified analysis where you showed that someone else was cheating with his data. Would that be allowed if I then came and called you involved in witchhunting just because I'm angry and I cant understand why suddenly someone is attacking a friend of mine? > >http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?383737 > >I asked "Did i missed something?" >I asked "BTW.

What a hoax!!! I cant believe it that you are so premature. Of course a man commiting fraud is NOT in the same boat with Bob. Ah, now I see a possible link with you and Vincent. Fine loyalty for other computerchess collegues. But for a multi time Wch you have no respect? >What is the reason that Dann Corbit was involved? I tell you. He was as confused as you were. He thought for a longer moment that he could hope that Castillo could be whitewashed. He didn't answer me other than saying that I didn't understand his message. But I understood it well. The whole Bob story is of no value for the debate because Castillo committed the fraud if Bob answered in time or NOT. Castillo was obliged to include a mention of Bob's Crafty with or without Bob's permission. Man, do we have to debate now Adam & Eve questions. It's incredible. As you could see even Bob's late Christian excuses for the programmer was meaningless because it's NOT Bob who's deciding if it was fraud or not. The not-mention of Crafty is identical with fraud! Period. No matter if Bob is angry or a Saint... > >> >>I must honestly say that you can forget all about a rehabilitation in this case. >>I do also feel much sorrow that Frank Q and also you insulted Paul H here in CCC >>of something like witchhunt. > >My reply to Paul Hunter: > >http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?383861 > >http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?383864 > >"Thanks for clarifying this again. >So the executable contained a symbol map. >Yes, witch hunting really came in my mind too." >... >"My apologies to you." Yes, I saw that and it was a fair message. But now you continue with the message to Quisinsky which is again the try to exculpate them. The following paragraphe is perhaps not so known to you but my text doesn't imply that you didn't apologize to Paul. It means, sorry that I have to tell you, but you asked for it, that you should stay on the level of apologizing after that unbelievable insult of withhunting. The same is for Quisinsky. It's morally odd to see you two now in the attack position so short after your witchhunt allegation. Was that understandable now? Please show some respect here. I think I could be both your father and you simply dont want to listen although you made such a grave mistake! Honestly Gert, I wouldn't have written anything at all if Quisinsky wouldn't have behaved here as if he just had made a typo or such petitesse. This is an outrage scandal for the whole computerchess family and that is no occasion of making jokes or playing naive. Let me finally specify. Other than the above you didn't do anything wrong. I see you desperate try to show solidarity with a collegue. That honors you, Gert. But that here is such a scandal that we shouldn't take it lightly. Bob certainly has a somewhat "verklärte" view on these things because he has seen so many possibilities to cheat and he was himself unfairly attacked for alleged cheating. But look, he didn't doubt the work by Paul H for a second. > >>I mean you should apologize instead of publishing >>such utter nonsense in your actual message.
