But think what you want - we all live >in free countrys... but again: exactly . i have the right to post my ideas about things. as you do. and i will post when i find something stupid. and : i would have stand up and would have complained about the decisions of the ICGA. you can do not complain, and not critisize. thats your decision. > Stop to declare everything as senseless that does >not fit in your point of view... a point of view IS subjective. Do you want to create a DIN for point of views ? > believe me, there are other point of views... yes. thats normal. it's called life. >you seem to me a very narrowed person, fully closed for other opinions... No. i speak out when i see something. i comment things. i know that there are other people accepting things as they are. i do not. I do understand under LIVING that the LIFE-FORMS communicate, talk, discuss and do not accept every nonsense organisations like ICGA or others create. You have to stand in a democracy that other people have other opinions. and that other people like you and your point of views or not. thats normal. talking/discussing about things does not mean that you hate the other person. but i can be against the things you do or not do. I have the feeling you take everything to personal. It's not an insult to call someones blitz games senseless. Its nothing personal. Can you stand this ? I doubt. You want to live in a society and world where we all think the same, do what is told and accept what the leader says, right ? I do not believe that kasparov PLAYED those games, nor karpov or other did. they were paid for the games. and when i believe this, i say so. whats your problem with this ? You would like to participate on a championship and when a scandal happens nobody should talk about it, and we all should accept the idiotic decisions of the ICGA ? and then it is narrow to critisize ! i see. IMO it is narrow to do what others tell you, and narrow not to be critical to nonsense. my point of views change from time to time btw.
