But now you are evidently going to have petitions and threats of not entering yourselves. What is next- a threat to chessbase to end their relationship with him?
And if that does not work- figure out a way to see who has bought Rybka since this verdict came down and worry the hell out of them?
Under the guise of fairness and morality, which I would imagine a blind man could see thru, you are determined to make his life miserable to the end of time.
I just wish for 1 day I could be the guy you sent this open letter to, and I could respond back. You wouldn't be sending another.
Not just for this case, but in my entire life I have wanted to be the one to respond to "open letters" and "threats of boycotts", blatant or veiled.
I would cancel an event before I would cave in to crap like this. But some have more backbone than others. And that "some" are the ones who have my respect.
And I am quite sure you don't care- but I have lost a ton of respect for anyone whose name is on that list. But that was easier than normal- because some already had none of my respect. And if it were me, I would suggest that their programs, under these circumstances, were the ones not welcome.
One thing I know for sure Bob. You are a better person than this.
