Show me one example of my immaturity or selfishness or greed or hatefulness or negativity in the context of a North American computer chess tournament. If you cannot, the grown up thing to do would be to withdraw your statement. Andrew PS Just in case you don't get the point yet: I think a North American tournament would be a great thing. I think it is a shame that ICCA hasn't organized a tournament in North America in recent memory. I don't think that Kevin Strickland is a serious candidate to organize a tournament. I think there are many people in the USA and Canada who *are* serious people, and I hope that they can make it happen.
