Bob isn't dispassionate, he shows up here as a hot tempered individual who in the heat of the debate sometimes forget he's in a discussion. Yet I can't recall *anyone* who was kicked out clearly because of *disagreeing* with him - over and over again. There's no need to disrespect Hyatt for his position - because of his accomplishments. People feel no need to respect his opinions more to be able to question them - in a decent way. But with a lot we are talking about a different breed. Given Hyatt's position in the computer chess community it's no surprise there are people waiting for an opportunity to jump onto him. That's a drawback of being famous in your own circle. We all remember rgcc and petrol related stories - recent crude oil prices draw a new light on that btw :) These kind of people are the professional havoc makers we all know so well - today it's Hyatt, tomorrow another CCCelebrity- and accordingly they're rapidly identified (as stalkers indeed) with always that one incident as an opportunity to kick them out. IMO there's no need to kick them out - this group has shown to deal sufficiently with the havock makers. One way or another. At the end the stalker guy tells us about the abuses he had to endure- he won on arguments - yet he was kicked out because the truth was too much for some people here or they're too dumb - or words alike. He is half right: he didn't "win", he *was* kicked out, and it wasn't the truth - at most *his* twisted truth people were indeed to dumb to understand. Observing those "discussion" I must conclude that the truth of those people mostly are "kick the establishement". A nice going I'm still very interested in, as I never grow up. No need to tell you that the core of this message board can also be discussing what *that* truth is and what is not - and that quite some people here - I'd vote for the larger majority - are getting rapidly nervous when those discussions pop up. I love playing with my chess programs - y'all love programming - and I love a good and decent fight - making the Internet a real place I wanna be, not the Never-neverland some Peter Pan's wanna make it here.
