I think you should compare style of posts, content of posts, and location of ISP before making a judgement. I do not think you should base this type of opinion on what the person claimed in a post. People do lie you know. > >If chris wanted to post information about computer chess then the most logical >way(in case that he is not allowed to post) is to give the information to a >friend and the friend can say >chris told me:"..." and if the "..." is not against the chrater of ccc there is >no problem. > >I simply do not see what chris can earn by pretending not to know chris. That is because you are not Chris. You are not motivated in the same way, hence, you do not understand his motivation. It's an ego thing. People cannot get "caught" misbehaving on a message board like they can get caught misbehaving in real life. Hence, some people feel invigorated by the power they can feel by "getting away with things" and at the same time know that the most that will happen here is that they will get banned. It's not as if they cannot sneak back in. In real life, if you go to your country club and punch out the manager, you will never get back in. Here, you can rant and rave all you want and the worse that can happen is that you have to create a new username and password. In real life, if you call someone a (bad word deleted here) in a bar, you might get your own lights punched out. Here, you are safe. Here, that cannot happen. It's all about ego, maturity, and comfort zone. People can do things here that they would never dream of doing face to face with someone. Unfortunately, good programmers are not immune to these types of things since they are human too. Intelligence has never been a good substitute for common sense. They are two different things. > >Uri KarinsDad :)
