The programmers brotherhood riding to the >rescue!! Chillout, its not your problem. Sure, there are programs that I like and dislike as well. I like Shredder 6.02 and Goliath Light 1.5. I don't like Nimzo 8. Nobody can stop me saying I don't like Nimzo 8, although it's difficult for me to put into words the exact reason for the dislike. Something about the playing style, it's just a gut feeling I have. However, if I started ranting, posting messages like "I hate Nimzo 8! I want my money back!" I would have to justify the level of my dissatisfaction. Saying that I don't like Nimzo 8 in a calm manner might be the start of a productive conversation in which someone might be able to help me understand the reasons for my dislike. Shouting that I hate Nimzo 8 and want my money back just intimidates (or angers) the listeners and does nothing productive.
