He is a good guy nonetheless and I have learned a bit from him. Hopefully he is not affected by the fires out west.

No doubt he is a good guy and I enjoyed his "cyber company" as well. I too wish him well and whole heartedly wish that he would come back.
He would probably still be here if you and Karlile and 2X6spds and pmbuko and cblake hadn't ganged up on him in that free-for-all "Hear no evil: another essay" thread.
I am of course kidding about the "ganging" up thing. I thought it was a great discusion until he took it to heart. After all "if ya can't stand the heat.....". It was kind of odd though, that no one came to his rescue in that thread.
I live the life I love and I love the life I live.

I stayed away from that thread like the plague. Raging flame threads generally don't keep my interest.

Now hold on just one minute! I just reread all of my responses on that thread, most of which were inane comments on tangents that people went off on. I don't think I ever directly replied to Chess. My main real comment was the Carl Sagan essay, which could (and was) have been used by either side. If I was "ganging up" on anyone, it was pmbuko! And he's used to it from me!

Yeah, I stayed away from it too. I didn't have the guts to get into it. But do ya' really think Chess was being flamed?
I think it keeps a board from becoming stagnate when things heat up with some disagreements. That is as long as no one gets bloody!

mwc,
I take offense at your assumption that I helped drive chess away. The last thing we need here is a bunch of finger-pointing. He and I had a pretty active private message exchange -- both before and after that thread exploded. I always treated him with respect -- and if you re-read parts of that thread, you'll see that I did attempt to come to his rescue, in a manner of speaking.
