Subject: Re: Something personal to _all_ of you

Go up one level in this thread


Let me declare a personal note to my critics or those who still have bad
feelings from the past.

Actually I have nothing personal against any of you. And no matter what happens
this will stay like this. Take me by my word. As soon as I feel resent I will
try to solve it, and if not possible leave the debate with that person. Next
time perhaps it goes a little bit better in another thread.

I must confess that I am not very experienced in technical details and theories
of computerchess, so that field is almost taboo for me. Only if some meta
questions might develop then I would be interested.

Since I play myself against computer programs I am interested in all chess
questions, rating etc.

Out of actual reason let me confirm that I have no agenda against certain
persons or institutions in computerchess. Of course I have a lot of critical
questions. But I want to stress the point that I would like to make things
better with critics. I won't take offense if persons have personal difficulties
with critics but I would beg that a certain level of communication shall not be
undercut. Myself I will respect the feelings of others. So if someone is
apparently unable to digest critics I will no longer mention him or address him
indirectly.

At some topics you will find many posts from me while in others or over periods
you won't find any posts at all.

For someone in my position computerchess is a fine hobby and almost a
scientifical pass-time too. Believe me one thing, I am a lover of computerchess
and I won't destroy that.

Those of you who can't tolerate me, please set me on Ignore. It would make no
sense in trying to provoke me because I am no longer the 22 y. old guy from the
'90s. That was a virtual reality in the past. Here I won't react on personal
attacks as you could already see.

BTW, critical questions, hard questions, insisting questions are not personal
attacks, I want to make sure that you know that I would be pleased to receive
many questions and doubts. I want to learn here, that's for sure.

Please, let's have fun in what we are doing here.

GENS UNA SUMUS

P.S. This is the last personal declaration of that sort of course. :)
I beg for your understanding that I can't discuss on the topic and won't react
on personal questions because it would disturb. Please use email instead for
important questions and commentary.
