He distorts things that I said.

I never said:

"where do you need hashtables for, i don't
feel the difference with Movei!"

I said that I do not use them for pruning and do not plan to do it in the near
future.
I did not say that they are not productive.
I did not say that using them for pruning cannot be productive.

He may think that
2000 lines of C code in an evaluation is not enough but it has nothing to
do with my level as a player.

It also turned out that we disagree about definition of evaluation because
I include only lines that the program visit when it is asked to calculate
evaluation and he included also lines that are needed to write piece square
table.

Saying that I am 1100 player only because of the fact that I have different
opinion than him is simply a personal attack.

I also think that suggesting that crafty is a work of one day is also only a
statement to make people angry and is not about the subject that is discussed.

I decided not to ask to ban him in order not to get other people angry but I
plan not to answer him and not to read his posts.
