Let me tell you what I think has been wrong.  You've run Toga on playchess.com
for some time stating publicly in the info that that was your "own written
engine" (quote) without ever mentioning Fabien and his program Fruit that you've
built upon.  I asked you publicly on the server to please add the reference to
Fruit but nothing happened.  You kept on running Toga as your own engine.  That
was wrong.

To make matters perfectly clear I made sure that a German guy write a message to
you as I wasn't sure that you understood English.  But I see no change yet.

That's what's wrong, among other things.  And now you have the guts to call
Fabien aggressive...
