Your first post was excellent, but why didn't you stop there. You don't know the
strength difference between a FIDE IM and an ICCF IM at 1 0. In all fairness I
think that Chessfun thought that she/he (?) had defeated a FIDE IM, but that is
beside the point.

The sexism point was aimed towards the apparent difference in objectivity
compared to PilgrimDan (the subtle remark from Mark Ryan was easily
misunderstood). Not at you as an individual. I'm sorry if felt misinterpreted.
