This is the Internet and thus a thick skin is oft required. If you like the
forum, overall that is, then you have two choices:
1) let the discussions and subject matter with non-belligerent members draw you
and keep you here
or
2) let a handful of few members, whether through lack of understanding or lack
of character, dictate where you feel comfortable to stay.
In any case, you should also be a little more understanding of the position of
the members who challenged you, even the rude ones.
This is a time when GMs and other players have been losing the 'war' against
cybernetic players more and more, and you come along claiming the latest and
greatest engine-engine champ is below par as per your personal results.
Nice fuel for the debate on the difference between engine strength against
humans as opposed to other engines BTW.
So short of some of the crazy opening or traps played by a few, that means you
are either a top player, or a colossal liar. If you're an IM or GM and would
like to preserve anonymity, say so, but to post a game without giving any
information of any kind, and expect all you say to be taken on faith, in the
midst of reports of its latest victories... Might as well put on your Human
Torch suit and say "Flame on!".
BTW, you should take that same game position where you said that Fritz, Junior
and company would put up more energetic resistence and show it. Not to prove
you're not a liar, but to give more data to compare with.
