Hi, including opponents et al: If this mess has served a purpose has been to clarify that many things should be clarified. Amir said well: there is a constitutional problem, or at least different opinions about how moderation must be performed. Clearly is not enough to recall the rules some day were stablished. Maybe they are by now obsolete, maybe not, but in any case this long, too long debate, could serve to see that a problem exist. I suppose that some will insist that there was not other problem that an off topic, "dirty" joke without place here, but to think that way is just to hide reality and try obsesively to return to point zero as if nothing happens here. Personally speaking, I do not want to damage this site. I begun with a post resigning and giving my reasons and at once some people depicted my action as a complot to ignite a war, a melodramatic suicide, etc. It was not so: I was not saying farewell witH an outburst of flames, just resigning a position. But, many post after that, I do not have ilusions that some people will reconsider and understand what I did. For them I am and I will be forever the troublemaker, the dirty guy, the menace to his souls, the man that sometimes writes things that can produce daddy to become angry if he see you reading it. So much I am considered a public menace that I am already threatened with delection as member of this site for all that and, what is more, because was assumed I was going to keep silent and beg a reconsideration of my post and case thorough silent emails below pubic knowledge. By the way, It is curious for me, after so many efforts I did with Steven Schwartzs to give life to this site inventing new sections etc, that I am in the fringe of expulsion. So, I am not going to keep answering posts that directly treat me as they want, no matter what. I feel myself no more guilty until this point that to become angry in some moments with all this stuff and the fact I used too harsh words in some of my post and emails, but respect he man point I still think that if you cannot post a joke from time to time with the mood with which every human being want to share what he consider a funny thing, then we are wrong and we have confused the goals of a place with a too narrow definItion and too coercitive discipline and too blind implementation of "law". In consequence, I will stop. I suppose enough has been said for each side to know clearly what the other side think. I hope some good effects will come of all this. Maybe the first is for each of us to remember that we are from very different cultures and that means a lot more than different languages. And now, if Don Dailey is reading this, please tell us about Cilkchess. Are we going to see some kind of public availabiliy of it in a way or anther? Fernando
