It was all in the delivery.  I guarantee if someone else stated what Vincent
did, in a less abrasive way, the thread would have carried on as normally as
any.

I agree with Mr. Moreland on this.  While Vincent could have presented things in
a less "confrontational" manner, he still brought up a valid topic/issue of
discussion here.  What Ed and Uri are proposing is simple over-moderation.

The folks that read threads here should be given the opportunity to draw their
own conclusions from topics.  I highly doubt that anyone reading these threads
views them as gospel from the Great Computer Chess God.  Simply being fans of
Chess and Computer Chess should suggest analytical minds -- not gullible morons.
 (Well, most of the time anyway...)
