A couple of minutes ago I read a new email, sender "A.Steen". As I think I know by now who Steen really was I stand under a more depressed mood in addition to the shock when I heard of the scandal in CCC. And this is for a reason that has nothing to do with the Steen case right now. It happened on CCC where I experienced something similar in 1997 and formerly in r.g.c.c. With that having said I already see the light at the end of the actual tunnel which assures me that I was always right in not leaving the field and this place because for me it was always chess and not the friendship to the members that kept me staying. My engagement in the A.Steen question brought me multi satisfaction. My depressive reaction at the instant is caused by my somewhat split position in a question about wishful thinking and thoughtful realism. I still have my emotions if single individuals are scapegoated although it's true I was also able to let myself be hunted also to make my studies. See Google in r.g.c.c. from 1996 Jakarta WCCC on when it went about East-Timor and the then following debates over the next 2 years. But if I want to enjoy my life it's important to be a realist. And a single persuaded or impressed person would be a good success in such a forum here. But even with zero success it is always important to raise one's voice in view of happy crucifications; this is a pleasure but also a duty for me as a German after the Holocaust. As it seems Anthony, Stuart, Sune and two others in CCC didn't need my support to find their _own_ perspective in the latest flamewar. I salute them. Steen told me I'd made two mistakes. One was that I had taken that Dr Wael Deeb had insulted A.Steen which was not true but he said that to Father, the one with the 250 move game. I want to apologize to Dr Wael. That is what I can give you from the private email.
