Vincent is >a main player here and I do not want to see him kicked out, not for the reasons >given. You are free to voice your opinion. As I said, however, Vincent has produced more negative moderator email over the past year than any other single poster, by a big margin. You also will not find me (nor most others) jumping into the middle of a thread and making a harsh statement. You may well find me _responding_ and sometimes perhaps I respond too harshly. But I certainly challenge you to find any case where I _initiated_ a confrontation of any kind. And then there is Vincent. With his completely off-centered remark about Skinner and an event in Canada. Something which simply had no business being posted, except to insult a specific member. > >For me there are other posters here at CCC that bug me more than Vincent.

I do not look first at the Title but >who is the poster that I feel has importance to the postings. Such as Chessfun, >Vincent, Dr Bob Hyatt, Christophe, Uri (yes Uri even tho.....), Eugene and many >others. I would assume that if my name is in that list, then you must consider that what I have to say is reasonable, more often than not. It is very difficult to find a post by Vincent that is not derogatory in some fashion or other... It might simply be "his way". But it is an unacceptable way when it produces complaints. > >This is my input, in a friendly way, not intended to start trouble. > >Thanks >Wayne
