The things he wrote may have been utter nonsense in some cases but he also had
right views several times. True he often indulged in exaggerations and behaved
like a child but I never noticed malevolence from his part. Just to the
contrary, he has always been helpful and open to share his ideas. I think he was
handicapped by the fact that people here often show overrespect towards Rober
Hyatt and were biased against Vincent whatever the case may have been. Surely he
could not bear it, that may have been the reason why he so often overreacted.

That is my view. Of course, he did a disservice to himself, but I don't find the
things he said a well-founded reason not to buy from him.

It is quality that counts. Many people buy from chessbase although the service
they provide is shameful and their ignorance is annoying (I have read it here
several times, there is no debate about it). Let's see what Vincent can provide
and disregard him when it turns out that he sells crap.
