Hi Uri,

it is quite unfair by CCRL members to continue now when I already have decided
to leave.

The context was the following:

In an email to a few CEGT members I asked Ray if Graham would have something
against me, because his emails were always without words or mostly in the
beginning, when he sent logos or tournament updates daily and in the beginning
he also did not post in the old CEGT forum.

Ray answered. that Graham would have nothing against me, but thinks that I am
oversensitive about anything regarding CEGT. In another email regarding the
Christian conflict Kirill reproached me to be too fragile. When it came to the
climax of the crisis when Ray dropped out, because I thought and wrote that it
was unfair to remove a post about using the W.D. book from the open to the
private section not visible for example for Harry Schnapp by moderator Ray
Banks, and in my opinion a totally constructed point for disagreement and when
Ray after this decided not to answer anymore, least to participate in discussion
proposed by Uschi, then I wrote that Ray could not bear the slightest criticism
and that I do not understand why they reproached to me then fragility and
oversensitiveness. Ray was the last one I wanted to lose and fact is that I
always praised his work and we had a friendly contact until he took definitely
always Kirill“s point of view with anything, although having a different opinion
before. What CCRL testers are presenting here in combined efforts is mostly
distortion of the truth. Open the old CEGT forum please!!!

I think CCRL testers can now finally stop the flameware five (Ray, Graham,
Kirill, Sarah, A.S.) against one. I have fairly asked some other CEGT testers
not to participate in discussion here, because things would have escalated even
more with their support for me.

One proposal. If I can be sure that nothing will be changed or falsified, why
not open the old CEGT forum (administrator Kryukov)for all. So everyone can see
what we all wrote there. There is nothing I have to be ashamed of, no really
evil words, but maybe some hard discussion like also by others and only in the
end. I was attacked and fought back in the last days and we had nice relations
in the beginning. You will find all there including interesting posts about
chess and testing, including psychological explanations by Uschi about group
dynamics. When doing so, you should also give the "private section" for free. I
will never want to have again such a private section and it is not necessary to
hide things from a few.

This would be one way to see the truth and anyway it is not the complete
picture,  because there were also emails between Kirill and me trying to
conciliate and work hand in hand.

So be fair once and for all. Stop attacking me, because now I cannot and will
not defend anymore after withdrawing here. Open the old forum so that everyone
can read there including the private section. Do not alter or falsify anything
because I backed up all the stuff.

Best Regards
Heinz
