That point was well taken, and responded to in a civil way by almost anyone, as you had the not only the right on that opinion, but are here for *giving* it in the first place.

You ridiculed peoples who brought up valid counterarguments, mainly with discarding their (rather convincing) evidence as "computer cheating". Discussion closed for you, often with a remark like "Yeah, alright, and pigs can fly." Your statement was provocative, but worth while; but your responses to those serious postings were considered childish, irritating and rude. No doubt *that* is at the root of the opinions about you in this thread. I'm waiting for your next provocative assumption about computer chess, with or without arguments. I'm also curious if you can handle arguments against your in a way that people think there responses are taken seriously. And I'm not waiting for you to be kicked out. Jeroen ;-}
