That kind of argument remember me when in my country ruled Pinochet, a dictator, and then when somebody complained, rightist people used to say "if you do not like the country, go away!". Well, not that there is a dictatorship in CCC, but surely it could seems to be IF people that does not like something are invited to go. In general I have no problems with post of any kind, from moderators or non moderators, about chess computer or off topic, with "dirty" words or without: just if something does not please me, I stop reading and let the thread - if there is one- without the bleasing of my knowledge. So I do not care if moderators begin or not long threads. Sometimes even they are amusing. But I do care of the right of anybody here to say he does not like how things are going on or asking a new constitutional ground. This is specially truth considering a new moderators panel will be chosen in some weeks from now on. You must undersratand, Pete, that somebody could like to be here but at the same time not to like something. I do not see conflict between both things and so unnecesary to invite him to go.
