I don't even thing you could call it blaming someone >as more or less just telling his side of events/story. What interview did you read? Here are some quotes from the one that I read: "I was however quite shocked to read the unwarranted accusations by Shay Bushinsky and Amir Ban." "Indeed whilst this match did nothing to change my high opinion of Deep Junior, unfortunately I am unable to say the same about its programmers and operators." "It is also surprising to me that as much has been made of the importance of the match to Deep Junior that it's operators did not ensure that the venue at which it played had either a very reliable internet connection and or backup connections and other facilities available." "I feel after the problem Mig behaved very decently by accepting much of the blame and also attempting to defend me against the unwarranted accusations that have been thrown at me." "Clearly however in the early stages it will be necessary for all sides to be understanding to deal with any teething troubles and I find it a great shame that the Deep Junior team has been unable to do this." Not the same one as I did, apparently. >If anyone/someone should be ashamed of themself,it's should be the people who >make wild accusations without have both side of the story. What were the wild accusations to which you refer? Most of those that I saw seemed to be based upon credible testimony of one or more eyewitesses to the actual events.
