> There was nothing wrong with the original post. I agree. Within the last year I had participated here in few threads discussing the best (in some way) chess programmers and other contributors. It was purely accidental that this one caught on fire as it did. The two main "combatants" could have argued the same issues in almost any other thread. More worrisome (for the future of the CCC) than the sharp exchange is the censorious hypersensitivity some folks have exhibited right afterwards. It mirrors the pathological obsession with the self-esteem being promoted in "modern" education. Here in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts the sensitive do-gooders have convinced some school soccer legaues to abandon scoring the games (goal counting), to avoid psychological injury to the child's self-esteem. Now everybody wins. Allegedly. I suppose, the next step from the hypersensitive self-esteem protectors here will be to demand abandoning tournament score keeping for amateur programs to protect the self-esteem of the programmers. Then the love, harmony and happiness will reign on the CCC. Give me a break. This is not a Girl Scout club. Bob can take it, I am sure (and he probably loves it, anyway).
