Only programs like CS Tal? What if I don't know of any programs like CS Tal? :-)

I don't know what to say. The forum appears dedicated to attacking CCC. The
first thing one notices is the title: "The Intelligent Chess Forum" which gives
a forehand taste of what follows. Sure enough, out of 13 threads, no less than 4
were initiated by Chris and directed directly against the CCC with titles as
follow:
- "Who are these 'moderators' ?"
- "Fool's Forum moderators are the problem"
- "KarinsDad=Rolf Tueschen ???"
- "Voting stuffed at Fool's Forum?"
You get the picture. It is one of spite and bitterness, and all in all quite
sad. Terms such as "Fool's Forum" (no doubt in contrast to the 'Intelligent
Chess Forum'), "forces of darkness", etc... is what can be expected. It doesn't
speak very eloquently on the man's balance IMO. Why waste so much energy and
time on something that is supposedly regarded with such derision? Was the
feeling of betrayal so deep? Make peace or move on Chris, but this? This is the
ex-boyfriend out to get 'even' with his ex-girlfriend no matter the cost. What
next? Pamphlets? Magazines? TV spots denouncing the evil CCC? *Sigh*
