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 Marcos
