Go up one level in this thread
On occasion there will be a nasty brawl or dispute between two people (due to the nature of human beings)--i.e. involving personal attacks, not merely a battle of ideas regarding chess programming. The spectators (other posters) should not attempt to take sides with one or the other contestants, trying to bolster or refute their postings, or even to quell the personal attacks. If the thread between A & B goes too far, the moderators can easily ask them to move it to personal eMail, and can delete the thread. Instead, the spectator(s) should notify the moderator team (easy to do by simply using the CCC feature), rather than attempt to handle the dispute by intervention. This will clear up a whole lot of junk postings when a two-person fistfight turns into a full-scale riot. This approach will certainly improve the atmosphere around here. --Steve Boak
