>Respect the second issue, I am in real sorrow to discover that some friends of >mine, as John Merlino and Steven Blincoe, has fallen in the same temptation of >other people that interest me less o nothing, many of them, by the way, just new >members with few or none experience about what this site means. the objection to CTF came about only after the need for members to make a donation to keep the CCC arose if we now must pay then i objected to supporting the CTF for all of the reasons i gave in many many posts to be fair my freind,you must read the posting from the start(perhaps 2 weeks ago).once it became clear that NO donations of CCC members will go towards maintaining CTF then for me the issue became a dead one this does not mean that i approve of the CTF in its current state nor does it mean that i even want the CTF to be linked with the CCC I DO NOT although i only discovered the CCC and CTF about 2 years ago,from what i have learned about the begginning of the CTF it is nowhere near the same any longer the early begginning of the CTF was to be a place for members of CCC to discuss other topics aside from chess computers,but this is not now the case most members from the CCC do not post on the CTF and Vice Versa the vast majority of the threads on the CTF i find objectionable,and you know this from a while ago when i resgined there and posted my reasons the board must be more reasonably moderated.rascist posts must be deleted posts of hate against jews,african americans ,gays,etc,tc.have no place on the CTF and should not remain undeleted you should also know i send in my donation BEFORE i knew for certain if the meny would be used to support both boards even though i did not want one penny of my money to go towards the CTF it was more important to me to keep the CCC going under ICD'S most capable hands ,even if it meant keeping the CTF it was only AFTER i made my donation ,did the membership learn that a single member made a donation large enough to pay for the CTF on its own. Regards Steve The by now usual >complaint of most the complainers is of being CTF a place where nazism, racism, >ranting, etc are the main stuff of almost every post. Some people even believes >it is an enough reason to ask his demise the simple fact that the name of that >site does not fit with its content. Even there are guys here that thinks they >are entitled to complain and yell and at the same time recognize with the utmost >lack of logic and common sense they does not go there or just once or twice. > >ALL OF THIS IS NO SENSE BECAUSE... > >...because Steven S. and me, fernando,created CTF precisely to give space to >discuss stuff different to the already well fed chess thing. Are you going to >take that into account for even one time or you will continue with the already >tired and non sensical acusation of being, CTF; "non chess related"? >...because people here and there are not just abstract entities coming to >discuss chess or not chess in any place available, but has became, along these >years, friends or at least people that knows each other and want to discuss with >each other HERE. >...because nobody is coerced to go to CTF. >...because the cost of CTF is marginal to the mantention of this site. VERY >marginal indeed. >...because at least HALF the money already collected comes from CTF members and >so there is NOT a case where CTF is or will be kept alive due to the pious >generosity of purely CCC members. >... because its is really LOW to make of Timothy or any other member target and >almost main guilty of the BTW preposterous acusations againts CTF >...because I am afraid many people here talk loud againts CTF just because once >they went there and were badly defeated in his debates or even insulted, yes, >but for any sensate person with a minimal force of temperament and maturity that >are not reasons legitimate enough to kill the entire place. >That is called revenge and it is a very nasty fature. >...because I smell the awful odor of prudish minds lurking here with the usual >belief that his sometimes narrow ideas about what is good or wrong are universal >Kantian moral laws. > >Fernando Villegas >Coordinator and OLD member in all senses.
