Something started a Fischer thread and the moderators got rid of it. This is certainly a sane course of action, it's not like the moderators did something completely bizarre. OK. Perhaps some people don't agree with what they did. That's fine, the trend is toward a free world, so this is allowed in the general case. But there is no reason for those who happen to disagree to get huffed about it. If the moderators do something you don't like, and you think that what they did was something that a reasonable person *could* do, that should be enough, and the urge to respond indignantly should be resisted. We voted, some people were elected, and the rest of us should let them do their jobs rather than insisting that the moderators be perfect proxies for every member. They can't be. Regarding the content of the base post, Bobby Ang might be in a position to tell us all sorts of things about Bobby Fischer. This is nice of him, but this group isn't supposed to be about Bobby Fischer. So I can *understand* why the moderators got rid of the thread. bruce
