I really don't see what the big deal is here, and yes I understand all
principles of free speech but to me this is a place for posting and conversing
about Computer Chess, it isn't a country where after losing a post we must worry
about the freedom of the press, it is simply a forum so a few people who we the
members elected do some things that others disagree with, this will happen
regardless of whatever policy and positions are taken.

It seems to me a shame that you Mark should leave over an issue to my mind so
trivial, the majority wanted strong moderators thats why these three were
elected. Your posts are a valuable contribution to CCC and I urge you to
re-consider.
