Otherwise they'll continue to be ignored, won't they? ejhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582272075999298935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-59934703527594224742014-11-17T12:02:12.213+00:002014-11-17T12:02:12.213+00:00I am finding these character assassinations rather...I am finding these character assassinations rather tiresome.<br /><br />Let's summarise your conclusions so far:<br /><br />1. Ray Keene does not like to do his own analysis.<br />2. Nigel Short sometimes says unpleasant things.<br />3. Dominic Lawson is not a perfect human being.<br /><br />All the above are probably true so why don't we move on?<br /><br />Personally I find Nigel Short entertaining. I do not agree with all his opinions but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate his humour.<br /><br />It is easy to pick fights and make enemies. It is much harder to work with people you don't really like and try to improve the situation (a bit like what Nigel is doing at FIDE.)<br /><br />Joking about prostitutes may be immature but so is pointless criticism. I actually found his tweet funny and I don't think any prostitutes were offended.<br /><br />You obviously love chess so why not focus on saying or doing something positive about it rather than all this anally-retentive nitpicking?Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658322242508079126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-42397312500834803022014-11-15T18:14:39.165+00:002014-11-15T18:14:39.165+00:00How very brave to be rude when hiding behind anony...How very brave to be rude when hiding behind anonymity.
