The only thing mickey is blaming them on is coming to CCC and saying all kinds of crap/onesided whinning.Do i think that Deep Junior getting forfeit was fair,NO i don't.Should there have been rules set up for internet connection problems,YES.((( Mig ))) made the decision,that if DJ was not ready in 15 minutes time that it would be forfeited.I REITERATE ((( MIG MADE THIS DECISION NOT MIKEY )))CASE CLOSED. >"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." Common sense should have prevailed. >"I feel after the problem Mig behaved very decently by > accepting much of the blame ( little snip ) MIG ACCEPTS MOST(HE SHOULD ACCEPT ALL THE BLAME,ALONG WITH EVERYONE AT CLUB KASPAROV) OF THE BLAME. Instead of blaming Mikey for accepting what Mig offered(forfeit after 15 minutes),you should be blaming Mig for making this offer,MAKE SENSE DOESN'T IT? >"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." Very good point don't you think ? > >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. There were many posters who wrote all kinds of wild theory's about what was going on,maybe you were not paying attention to these post and reply's.GO back and reread everyone blaming Mikey for everything,then you will understand him trying to tell his side of this story. PS: For all the ANAL RETENTIVE members here in CCC.Turn your puter off ,go outside,walk around in the grass bare-footed,look up at the sky and take a big collective breath.IT'S ALL GOOD :-)))
