Please lesser hate mails ...

Firstly, there was no allegation of racism. Maybe of linguistic bigotry, but not racism.

Suggesting that I would tell someone to "go back to their country" is an allegation of racism. Disgusting.

Nice attempt at moral kidnapping, but no, it isn't an allegation of racism.

There are other reasons you might say that besides disliking a person's race. For example, linguistic bigotry/pompousness? (i.e saying something like "his English has no 'logical flow'" comes to mind. )

But since you're so sensitive about it, maybe there's something there?!

Another name to the ignore list. Won't be long until every person in General Topics is there. I think its time I follow what most developers have done at this point, and simply stop opening this web page.

Kind of implies that the problem lies with you, doesn't it?

[Frank Quisinsky]

If ignore list ...
Why not silent?
To do that with thunder and trompets is again "group-buildings".

Search-Mode:
Means, to find more friends like to do the same!

A very aggressive way!

Hi Frank, It kind of sounds serious. If you feel threatened I would go to the police. They can tell you what to do. To trace e-mails I think you need help of your e-mail provider? Don't know much about that, so don't mind me. Sounds like Stasi practices to me, without knowing about the content. Maybe ask somebody from former East Germany for help? Cold war returning. Nicht auf die Programmierer hier achten Sometimes they are behaving like real idiots .

Hi Eelco,

at first thanks for your message!

Yes, I should give some to the police!
If I get more of such mails I will do that!

Absolutely no interest to switched to an other mail address.
That annoys me ... the mail address I like so much and used many years.
But I must do that!

I am think about it _what is wrong_?

1. To many Wasp fanboy hints from my site to the style of Wasp.

2. 5% from my statistics are available on my site. Allways the same to the first playing phase. To give allways the information, which programs have problems in the beginning of the games is questionable. Means, on a site one of TOP-25 engines is available and the stats are strong.

3. Ukraine colors was perhaps a bad idea. I have nothing against russian people but I dislike ...

4. Situation around Ethereal engine in my tourney was not good.

Any bad information to an other engines is questionable if one of the top programs is available on the own site.
Example: If I set in Talkchess messages to an engine problem.
Never thinking about it in detail because I do that all the years.
In most of cases people working on rating systems do that.

Is the situation bad, I have to search own mistakes.
Not nice what I got but a good moment to thinking about own mistakes.

After my FCP Tourney-KI I will wait two weaks and create a complete new website.
Topic will be "Wasp only" without links to others or any information about other programs, tournament results or games.

Lost complete my interest to public more of the tourneys.
If I do that without publication I can directly send three of the program to Jordan and nobady will asked me why I do that.

Ah, I have nothing against Jordan!!!
All is fine with Jordan!

At first I am thinking:
Frank, if you give all TOP-41 programmers the same material this can be an event.
The shot backfired.

Best
Frank

[Frank Quisinsky]

And John will be happy also because I have a lot of ideas for a new website around Wasp only.
And I have again a lot of fun to do a bit.

And all is fine!

Norton give the information (I am using on my Windows 11 ultra book Norton) ...
My mail address is on a black list?
Never I had such a problem before, saw that yesterday in the evening.

Because *you* don't get hate mail? Jeez.

Hate mail is produced to get reactions, the people making it are chickens that would run and hide if they were in person, so their threats can't be taken seriously and I don't get what's all the fuss about because trolls are to be ignored, any attention you give to them feeds them and makes them crave more.

An entire thread dedicated to them is a win, causing more people to send hate mail because while some have to work and put effort to get attention, they can just send hate mails and get all the board talking about them.
