Go up one level in this thread


Dear david:
I agree with you. All the examples yuou have given to me are related to personal
attacks of one sort or another and that, of course, cannot be accepted. In fact,
I saw the war in RGCC about Indonesia and what did of it a nightmare were NOT
the reasons, arguments, data, etc given about it, BUT the personal attacks
between the people engaged in the debate. The problem is, once again, the
tendence to attack and this one you can meet een in purely chess computer
discussion. So, the problem is not the content of thge thread, but the attitude,
the prdominance of ego considerations, the fool idea that if you stop to answer
a post it's equal to resign your position in a public confrontation. EGO is the
sin, here as elsewhere. And that we are not going to cure just restricting the
issue to this or that stuff. I prefer a nice, witty discussion about beer that a
hotted, unpleasant and personalized discussion about programs.
By the eay, anyway, I agree with your attitude in 98% and that's reason I voted
for you with Larry T. and another guy.
Be lucky and merry christmas
fernando
