Heinz,

could you hold in for a couple of minutes for a short read plus reflection of my
message? Please do me the favor. All I can promise is that I'll keep it short.

Very superficially I've read what is going on here - and therefore I dont know
who has whom and when and who started and such details.

What I've read is something between you and Andy or vice versa. And lingually
alone this tends to get out of control. I see no reason why you two or even more
shouldnt try to get on to talking terms again.

My main reason: you both are real and have a true identity. And you both love
our common hobby. So why even think about a longer flame war? Life is too short
for such nonsense.

As to Andy, please dont take too seriously that he was banned in CSS. Almost all
good posters have been banned there in the past. Me too. Now it makes no sense
to argue "you have said this or that there against someone from our group and
therefore we threw you out or didnt accept you as a tester...", why do you do
that? NOT that you hadnt the right to behave this way, but because of the
climate I ask. What is a testgroup that lives with such extremely harsh
policies? Why not tolerating all like in CCC and later decide if you could need
the special test results ans games from a person? Why creating a closed
in-group. Already the famous POPPER said that this tends to become undemocratic.
What would you lose if someone like Andy could decide on his own if he
participated? Why not showing a relaxed and smart reaction towards all possible
contributors?

I've read that for Andy also the anonymous background was a problem. Here he has
a point. He stands with his name and identity for what he says. All what people
say under anonymous hidance isnt as valuable. Not that what Sarah says isnt
unworthy.

I find it good that you tolerate people like Sarah. Why not accept a lawyer like
Andy? Just as far as he wants to participate? I've read he doesnt want.
Therefore why not hold a relaxed position towards people like him? Just look at
CCC how smart people handle the problems.

You do such a valuable job and give us so many results and all that so that you
can well take a more observing position. Even the most evil person, I'm not
implying that Andy is evil, could contribute something valuable. See the
prisoner Bloodgood and his 1.g4 games... ;)

With Blockwart A.S. meant someone who watched like Big Brother of Orwell what
other people do. I'm sure you are nothing like that. But you see where it ends
if you are involved in such wars. Just try to take a position which is smiling
to all possible people, even towards yours truly, Rolf.

And Andy, please could you be so kind and declare that you well see what Heinz
does well and that you are also interested in a peaceful continuation of talks?
I'm sure you would agree with me. Please let's bury the axe. Life is really too
short to be wasted with such aggressions and hatred...

GENS UN SUMUS

Rolf - with good feelings to both of you and also to Sarah.
