Subject: Dmitri is casting stones at me again. Gary's one to listen to even if you disagree with him

Dmitri, you really should read your posts as you accuse me of the things you say in them. All of those things are things you do towards me. You talk in such absolutionist terms, ALL, NEVER, and a complete disdain for what I say. I spent a lot of time typing these postings. Unlike you it appears. I try to put some care into what I say so it won't be misconstrued, and yet I don't mind dishing something out to people that I think have it coming to them. Like you Dmitri! This really is a waste of my time and I think I just might completely curtail playing games on these sites. There's much better things I could be doing than sitting here typing to some nitwit whose only thing to do is tell me how stupid I am because I disagree. I bet you make your Mom right proud don't you Dmitri?

Yep, the Money Order is in the envelope and I was going to post it first thing out of the house today. I even checked the postage and affixed 80¢ worth of stamps to it so that it'd make the trip to the Czech Republic. I think I'll hold onto it for awhile now and rethink my decision. Perhaps Fencer can help me decide what I should do. You guys convinced him to change the game. Perhaps those of us that like the other way to play can get it brought back. The programming is still there, right? If you do bring it back Fencer, I'd make all the options possible from the same Pente page. Otherwise we'll be swimming in Pente links. If you're not going to bring it back, I would like to know why. Private message or public post is fine by me. I might join your site or not irregardless of what you decide. After all, Dark Chess is game I play on your site. Though I wouldn't mind having the other Keryo game here to play so I could leave IYT and not pay for both of them.

Gary, you've been quite courteous in your demeanor towards my flights of fantasy on various subjects about Pente and other things. Our last two postings are directed mostly towards each other and have taken a sharper turn. All the same, I respect most of what you say inspite some of the way you rebutted me in your anger. Got under your skin a bit did I? Hopefully some of that will clear a little with my last long post, though I did throw some more gasoline on the fire in places.

Walter, how dare you bring my mother and father into this? Would you like me to have them post here, because they are immensely proud of me!
I am a candidate for a prestigious scholarship in the state of MD that is awarded to students with a 4.0 GPA and exceptional academic accomplishments. I teach SAT prep classes and I am DAMN good at it. I am one of the best players in the country at the game of pente. I am fit and health conscious and a respectable racquetball player. SO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEY ARE PROUD OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My fiancee and all of my friends are proud of me too. How dare you imply that my parents are anything but proud of me? You have never even met my parents! You have some gall to even make that statement; it really shows now inept you are at staying on the issue. I put LOTS OF time into my posts, I have presented clearly thought out arguments with SPECIFIC reasons for everything I say!

You don't know hwy Fencer made the change? HE SAID SO IN HIS MESSAGE ABOUT THE CHANGE! he said "due to the analysis if serious pente players I am making this change."

By the way, since you said you put so muhc time into your posts, I feel compelled to opint out a few things. I may not be good at typing, but I am an excellent grammarian. So, with your putting so much time into your posts, you nevertheless managed to include a non-existent word (irregardless), and you began a sentence with "hopefully..." instead of "I hope..."

I neevr opitn out petty errors such as these unless someone criticizes how carefully I preapre my posst while simultaneously touting his supposed thorough writing.

As for your calling me a nitwit, well, that is just senseless. I have won 40 tournamnets and I am one of the top players of a mentally stimulating board game.

If I called you stupid, I was wrong, we all know that and I am willing to acknowledge that. I should have said that your argument was weak, of that your line of reasoning was stupid, but NOT that YOU were stupid.

But, why do you then call me a nitwit? Two wrongs make a right now?

You say I have uter disdain for what you say? Walter, I CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY refuted every poitn you made! YOU are the one who is showing disdain for anything that Gary or I said. You do not address anything we say, you reely on repetitive blanket statements to dismiss our points.
