What's the point in even >saying things like that? Why not just keep your mouth shut if you're just going >to complain? Maybe they reacted towards Kevin the way did because they knew that this guy is full of sh*t, before even bruce brought it out? Than it would make a lot of sense wouldn't it? I ussually see that you don't show a little bit of respect for most of the old-timers in this forum. If I am not wrong, you are somewhat new in this forum, it wouldn't hurt too much, if you would do a little research about someone, before accusing them (Andrew and Mogens), of something rather stupid. If you take out the "them-being-european" thingie out of your mind, than everything makes good sense. Kevin kinda looked suspicious to me right at the beginning when he bought the chess tournament thread up. I didn't participate in any of the discussion. I would be very happy if it actually worked out, it would be easier for me to go. cheers, pavs ;) > >In any case, I suppose I'm getting to the end of my rope here and I'm "just >complaining" now, so I'll let it rest.
