First a God, now a scoundrel

Post by fern »

Funny to see so diverse opinions about Vas and how some changed in time.
If you have asked me, though I believed Vas when he announced the best engine ever, with his beta 1, I never believed he would be different in anything to any other guy when money is at stake.
If there is a nasty and -for me -despicable activity is business.
It poison everything.

I say only this...

Not only business, the poison is everywhere. It's like the air or God. Look, Bob is so poisoned that he prefers to deal with students and holding classes just because the money is his fetish. But you can always step out and make another choice. Bob could have come for the debate. But no, the poison was coming. It was already there. So Vas got it all. Poor Bob.

Your ignorance continues to amaze me. So I should just dump a class, which is a review for final exams, and tell the students "So what if you paid your hard-earned money to take this course, Rolf has set up an online discussion that is more important than your education"???

Please grow up and act like a responsible adult. I have a job that I take seriously. Not sure what you mean by "poor bob" however. "Poor Rolf" would likely be understood by all, however.

I would not say "poor Rolf", I´d rather say "poor poeple" who are treated by psychologist like Rolf.

People are mistreated by anonymous cloners and others and they are then helpd by a psychologist who keeps an eye on the logical nonsense these anonymous chess cyber terrorists are using. It was a pleasure to help you, so nothing of poor or such. It was honor to help in such a case.

Thanks Bob for what you have done for Chess.
Thanks Bob for taking your students serious therefore:
Making the world a better place.
There is no other field more important than Education.
I am sure you have many many students that have
thanked you for the guidances you have given them.

Very Best to you.

Gerold.

They are "poor people" because you are treating them while you are not able to treat yourself. If you knew you would know how to distinguish reality from your wrong perception.
