I agree that his posting was inflammatory, but the only
one decides whether there is a flamewar or not is YOU.

Even worse, if you feel it is a personal attack, DO NOT EVER
reply. The other people who read it can make up their own
mind whether Thomas has an argument or whether he is insulting you.

Do you think Thomas insulting you will make people get a different
opinion about you or about Thomas? I know for myself it would be
the latter. (but I don't think he insulted you)

If someone posts 'Diep sucks', *do* *not* reply. We can make up our
own mind wheter it's right or not. I can assure you all posters
you might care about on this board will only make a conclusion
about the person that posted it, and not about Diep.

>I explained my point

But you only did so _after_ Thomas made his complaint.

I would assume that after your explanation Thomas no longer
feels your statement was worthless because it was unfounded.

He might not agree with the arguments, but he can no longer
complain about the lack of them.

I assume his post was a request to you for founding your
statement. If you want to read more into it, don't. Some people
aren't very good at stating things in a subtle way. I know a
FIDE Master that wrote a strong chessprogram that isn't, either.
