Well ... and I "think" that you are smaller and weaker man than me. Because you are probably less than 6'2'' and 195 pounds. How does that make you feel? Perhaps you, in return, "think" that your man-hood is %50 larger than mine. How am I supposed to feel about that? :-) None of this matters, don't you think? What if he said that you are 1150 player would that be less "offensive"? 1650? > >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. > People have the right to be angry. If Vincent uses these type of comments to stir emotions and responses then he is a troll, but to me he seem to be the opposite of modest. He believes himself to be better than the others when it comes to computer chess programming. This crates situations and expressions that are candidates for comedy central or Jack Hanna's "Deep thoughts". :) >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. > This is very sensible of you, but somewhat premature, what if others enjoy to read his posts if for nothing else but the comedy he generates. :-) If others are annoyed with him as much as you are then they'll complain and the issue will be resolved.
