But it _does_ bother you.

[Me thinks he doth protest too much (to be unbothered).]

You write hundreds of postings, protesting and trying to convince others that
they are wrong and you are right.  Now _there_ is a scientific metric--how many
times one cries when he doesn't get his way.  Correlates very highly to
something--but not to computer chess or even science.

'The truth hurts' is an apt phrase.  Applies to you just like everybody.  No big
deal, happens to all of us.  But most get over it eventually.

You are stuck in the denial stage.  It must be transcended before you can get
better (or even learn).

It's long past time to return to computer chess.  Intellectual duels at 20 paces
with big balloons may be fun for the participants, but it is rather boring to
most spectators.  Until an occasional sharp argument bursts one of the bubbles
(possibly even a lead balloon).
