Certainly "greedy" would have to be considered an undesirable trait. People did send in complaints. The moderators acted reasonably. This is a moderated forum. That means that there are limits on what you say, and those limits are governed by the charter you read and agreed to when you joined. I consider your telling Christophe Theron to "get his act together" to be a very offensive way to phrase what is probably a user error on your end. Here I am referring to: http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?193470 I suggest the following rephrasing: "I am having a problem configuring Chess Tiger to work correctly. For some reason, it loses on time on my machine. What am I doing wrong?" Now, imagine that you are Christophe. Which format would you find the most palateable? Benjamin Franklin said, "You can catch more flies with a teaspoon of sugar than with a gallon of vinegar." I can certainly be abrasive at times, as can just about anyone. But if we do exercise a bit of effort to be especially civil, it would just be that much nicer, wouldn't it?
