If you are for the betterment of computer chess and simply don't think that Kevin is the best candidate to be heading up this movement, then there are more positive ways to say that than you have been. You seem to just be critisizing him rather than trying to help anything. Here are your posts. "Don't be stupid. Everyone wants more computer chess tournaments. No-one wants to waste time debating the details of such tournaments with someone who is not able to make it happen." "I for one don't think you could make it happen, although I'd be happy to be proved wrong." "For me at least, your credibility went out of the window with this post:" "I look forward to seeing you prove me wrong." Instead of saying things about how you don't think he could pull this off and how you don't think he has any credibility, maybe you could say those things in a nicer way, and then provide him some advice since you seem to know the answers. You don't do this though. You only give off negativity. If you were really for the betterment of computer chess as you say, then you would say something more along the lines of: "Kevin I think you are being niave to think you can pull off such an event without the help of other more experienced people. I would recommend you seek the help of [insert names here] to make sure this event is successful. I look forward to the event and wish you luck in any case." My point is that if you're only going to be negative (as you have been), then just keep your thoughts to yourself. If you want to help, there is a better way of expressing those negatives in terms of advice. You did no such thing, which makes me question whether or not you are really wanting to help or you're just here to complain. I really don't think Kevin (or anyone else) cares to hear you complain about this. Russell
