Everyone has a time with bad behavier, cause someone feels unsatisfied for whatever reason, has problems with itself or others (sure, you all will find more reasons). But this time will go and there a are better times. I like to look for the ratio. Thorsten was from the beginning here. And I mostly have enjoyed his postings, at last his great summer-tournament. If I compare this with another guy, which was trolling 1 1/2 years in another group (yes yes not here, I know), which is now only playing psychological games on the chess-stage (he could use every other stage), then I see no ratio. Of course I have to accept the moderators, but I don't like it. I also have enough live-experience. Show me one man, who is not fallen on ice one time in his live. I like to help him back on his legs. All of course IMHO. Peter
