That's nonsense and you know it. So far every public message from either SMK,
Amir Ban and yourself have supported my "wild guessing". And judging according
to known principles of proper behaviour may seem as demagogy by you, but there
are rules and governing bodies for a reason.

I never claimed that people don't want to see Shredder compete. But I'm quite
sure that most are capable of comprehending that a title means something. And
that if you want to challenge it, then the arrangement must be credible
according to specific rules. An arbitrary selection or the introduction of an
alternative World Championship isn't the correct way to accomplish that. That is
fact and without a doubt.

I try to interpret what is written and relate it to the schematics of a decision
process. We know that you selected the programs and we know that BGN created an
alternativ WC. Using the information posted by Millennium, you, SMK and Amir Ban
creates a reasonable overview of the events. From the initial contact over the
surprise qualifier with the obvious refusal from Millennium to the acceptance by
Amir ban. None of the individual elements, when examined in detail, implies fair
play.

Please enlighten me about the erroneous statements in the text about the
livingroom tournament and when I've used them inaccurately.

What's your point? The city of Cadaques is irrelevant to making a bogus
challenger event.
