In the direct ancestor post, bob told him "You don't understand what is going on, so please keep your mouth shut about it." That was pretty much the whole thing. This could have been easily predicted. We have some posters who aren't perfect, they are like cars that backfire every once in a while. Thorsten is an obvious example. Bob is another one. Both of them write from upon emotion, and Bob's particular problem is that he leaves himself open to counter-attack. http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?139680 This is more like what Bob would have said, had he been playing postal-CCC and not blitz-CCC. I don't think "you know nothing about this" is a reason to stop a poster from posting, at least not a regular one who has shown that he does know something about something else, at least. The fact that it's off-topic and apt to start a large and angry argument is a much better reason, and one we can probably agree is enough reason for it not to be discussed here. I voted for Bob (and many other people, not just three) as a moderator this time knowing full well that this stuff would happen. I figured that if he was willing to put up with abuse for six months in order to do a thankless and unpaid job, I would happily put up with Bob for six months. I would vote for you and Jeroen, too, and would love to have the opportunity. bruce
