Hi! Some people (scientists) belive that emotions are social
"constructos",i.e. it exists when 2 or more persons are in contact. If a deep
blue post causes ill to a group, perhaps the group is already diseased or, at
least the diseased is not only the poster. If some posts are a obvious troll why
answer? Why create this situation? What will happen now? Prohibit deep blue
posts? Witchunting? Inquisition? Should we elect, not moderators but
Torquemadas? Sorry, but the more I read computer chess things, more I like human
chess.
With no intention of disrupt anything (and sorry about bad english), kind
regards
