I am clueless why the cgi script directly posted without content the first 2
times, my apologies.
Why he is the only one complaining ? Maybe cause he is the only one who has the
guts to voice an unpopular opinion ?
Why does he use offensive terms ? Well it seems like this is the only way to get
attention in these kind of threats. That way he can make sure people will react.
When I wrote about my concern that this forum gets cluttered (word?) a bit much
by one-liners, game-score "news" ( like the SSDF postings), K-K postings ("K-K
Won LOst draw whatever !!! NT") or moderation threats ("buhuhuhu this is soooo
unfair !") no one reacted.
I understand this is a ComputerChess forum, and everyone is entiteled to use it
in the way he wants to, but to reduce the number of posting in the likes of the
above (and maybe just post a link to test results or whatever) would increase
its worth IMHO.
Kind regards,
