Why do you enjoy a difficult situation?

When the Fritz5 autoplayer was not made public, I have not enjoyed that.
I might easily have done so, because I had one, but I didn't just enjoy it.

I opposed wrong criticism and especially some wild and stupid rumors.
But more than this I did my best to convince relevant people to make the
autoplayer public again.

I am glad that Junior5 will have the public autoplayer again, and even in some
more user-friendly way than the old Dos-based one.

You can't quit thinking in categories of "enemy forces", scinece fiction
metaphors of cyborg threats (as you used to do) and the like, can't you?

You can't imagine that there is no need at all to define oneself in such
children cowboy and red indian catgories, can you?

But we are not at war here, not even at any silly ideological war about
companies or program concepts or programmers.
We're just having fun in chess. At least most of us...

And I for once easily can afford to like Junior5, Rebel9, Hiarcs6, Fritz5 and
many other programs and concepts and programmers at the same time.
No need to make one company or one programming team the "dark forces" or the
principal "reign of evil" in any fundamentalistic way, like you tend to do...

I feel not abused by Ed Schroder or Matthias Wuellenweber.
What I find abusive are rather these kinds of questionable comments...
