Of course, keeping our word is very importante, but our principals should be above our word. So, when some new informations come, we should compare them with both, with our word and with our principals, and give preference to the latter.
It was exactly what happened with me this afternoon.

Well, I am not going to say who I voted for, but they love freedom, and are against killing puppies and babies. Ok, well I am pretty sure about the freedom and puppy part anyway...I admit the babies thing is just an educated guess.slobo wrote:

I remember reading this thread at the time, and thinking you were right to be mad and feel mistreated. But now that I have gotten to know you better...I have not changed my mindkingliveson wrote:There are 9 candidates on the list, but one particular individual worries me based on his past behavior.

When a company takes your money and refuses to provide the services promised, and when you contact them and get no response, this is called fraud. This particular individual's response has been I am only a volunteer, in essence, he is saying, I am only following orders. Further more this individual has used his position as a mod on one of the servers to come here and accuse and attack members on this forum. This happened just 2 days ago. If you are part of a mod team, and one of them behaved irrationally, it is your duty to see that the situation is resolved fair and square instead defending the bad behavior. This is exactly what this guy has done. He likes being in position where he has to dictate to others. So be very careful how you vote. You can read the link to get an idea of what am talking about.

. Its one of the reasons I go to ICC instead of playchess for my engine testing despite being told that playchess has many more participants. Of course, I am mad at ICC too for not being responsive about free engine accounts for original program authors. And I am even madder at FICS about their support. Sigh...why is it so hard to find a good online environment? I kind of understand about FICS but at least the professional services should have reasonable support. 
It is sad to see fellow election candidates joining in with the election Spam, now voting has begun, especially one that I voted for!BubbaTough wrote:I remember reading this thread at the time, and thinking you were right to be mad and feel mistreated.
