So what we be the point? _I_ did not attack anyone. So I don't know what you are talking about. He presented a conclusion that was mired in inaccuracies and bad assumptions (He assumed FIDE rules were used when they are not.) His errors were pointed out by me and several others. He should hardly expect to waltz in, make some comments that are really not relevant to what we are talking about, and waltz out without any counterpoints being made.
