I didn't lynch _anybody_. I simply reported _exactly_ what happened, _why_ it happened, and _when_ it happened. I didn't pay much attention to the 'lynching' as you put it. Amir made a bad decision. He angered a whole bunch of folks in doing so. Their "venting" is quite natural. And it will all die down very quickly. However there _is_ blame to be assessed... for those wanting to assess it. I see absolutely _nothing_ that would serve as a viable reason for not playing round 5 as planned yesterday. IE what was the exact time I _should_ have removed the censor? I did it between 10:45 and 10:46. Should I have done it between 10:30 and 10:35? etc. It was done _before_ the advertised start of the round. That seems perfectly adequate to me... > > > >>> >>>>I censor to show that I strongly disagree >>>>with the person that made the accusation.
