No matter why, the rancor is there. Bob and I have history with some of these people going back to about 1995. It's a long and boring history, many aspects of which I don't want to bother to remember. The group was founded to get away from Rolf and a few others. Ed, for instance, was so bothered by Rolf that he sued him. I never knew exactly what that was about, but the suit was thrown out on a technicality. >3. Clearly, many people feel strongly about Rolf Tueschen, typically equally >vehemently disliking him. Why also remains unclear. If you want to figure this out, go to www.google.com, search the usenet group "rec.games.chess.computer", for posts containing "rolf tueschen pope", written by "TUESCHEN.MEDIZIN_KUNSTFEHLER@t-online.de". You can also try "rolf tueschen pope fachidiot" if you want to narrow it a bit. Read through that for a bit and realize that there was a *lot* of it happening for a *long* time. Maybe this will give you an idea of what was going on, and maybe not. I think that there were a lot of people trying to get rid of him by going through his ISP. These days I would just kill-file him if he bothered me, but that wasn't a common option back then, so the group was constantly full of this stuff. Rolf was banned here for bad reasons for perhaps a year (?). He's not banned here now. As far as I know he has not posted here since 1997. >4.

I hope that you and Sara will be able to understand things from each others' point of view. >In retrospect, I wish I had e-mailed him and asked if he actually wanted this >before doing so. > >I actually do not like politics - I prefer to program. Logging on after a long >weekend I am surprised at the amount of comments on this topic. I don't like it either but I manage to get involved. When I started doing computer chess, I made a conscious decision not to have any enemies. This lasted for perhaps two years, but now I have a few. It's a big waste of time, and I prefer to spend as little time dealing with this as possible. bruce >Best regards, > >Bob Green
