Go up one level in this thread
Just for the record and to you as a challenge: I asked Graham, the other moderator, to show me insults by A.S., then he replied that they were all deleted. Then I repeated my question and begged him to show me one single piece of evidence. He couldn't! And he explained that chessplayers are known to be a bit eccentric and such. Steen hadn't had real insults in his messages at all! But it was his special speech that was taken as insulting by the members. Mow I ask you the same. Give me a single little, tiny, mocroscopic insult by Steen that you had deleted. Please. But I bet, that you can't and this is the scandal in my eyes. Instead that the moderation adopted the actual and much more elevated perspective of Graham they supported the many against the isolated individual. Yes, I know, also a member got his warnings. M.Drexel had said nonsense! loudmouth! and such things, but what was with the fabulous and certainly anonymous Dr Debb Wael who ordered Steen to consultate a psychiastric ambulance. That was long after the threads had begun. I have overflown ALL here still standing messages by Steen and I haven't seen any insults nor belittlings. But excuse me, it seems as if someone speaks out of his experience many here can't tolerate it because, just because, it's something they didn't know or like or understand. That would have been a first class possibility for mods to calm the public uproar, that would also have been along the rules. But as I could see you yourself, I dont mean you personally, have shown your irritation by yourself denying his statements. That was a clear reinforcement for the crowd to feel itself in the right. But they were all wrong! If they had asked questions. Not about his profile or ranking or such but about ehat he said and claimed and explained THEN everybody could have had a good time. So I conclude with the header above, it seems as if his class alone made him an outsider and NOT his speech! Look, just take the perspective for a minute that this was a GM, didnt we all made ouselves looking rather, well, outlandish? Just think about that possibility. I dont say that I know for sure that it was the case. But cant you confess a bit that you NOW see your own failures? Why should he come back? To get crucified by a mob? I can assure you this 100%. Such an event were impossible at a university. If it happened it were the end of the career of the howling crowd. Have you lost all respect for a dedicated human being, an expert of unknown level? Should such someone at first give you a genetical code so that you could bureaucratically admit yes this is so and so? Can nobody here see class as such? Why always speculating who he was? If it were Short then you accepted his class but if it had been - well, I dont think it was but only if - Whittington? Then all what he had said were proven crap. Declared by our resident experts? Gimmi break!
