It certainly does >screw up a lot of stuff for a lot of people. Much of this is grossly inaccurate, but never mind this now. Bob has been censoring me ever since the "snot" post he wrote here. For those who who don't know what ICC "censor" is, it means you don't play with the person, and do not agree to hear any message from him either. He's beneath you. I've been aware of it of course. Bob did not discover this. I did, 10 minutes before the game, that the censor is still on. I tried to talk to the TD, but he was not there. I wrote a message on the tournament channel, that my opponenet is censoring me, and I'm leaving. I said if he wants to play, he can apologize on CCC. I did not withdraw from the tournament. I clarified this to Bruce later. Bob can get a point for this game. Bob's post is not an apology, as he himself says. It's more in the tone of the posts that led to this. Amir
