After you attacked the original poster's character for no justifiable reason.
As for being "silent" on the other thread...you accused me of sexism (hmm, I see a patern developing here) and then were proven wrong, when shown the original post (that you were unaware of) by me that had nothing to do with women. Why would I then continue to argue with you?
All you have to do is apologize to the original poster...your attack was unwarranted, and you need to do the mature thing, and just admit your wrong.
I know I should not jump to conclusions when I _am_ ignorant of the evidence. I will not refrain from jumping to conclusions just because I _seem_ ignorant of the evidence to someone, especially when I am ignorant of seeming ignorant.
I have seen the thread, and I don't understand why you're bringing up the issue of his disingenuousness in a reply to my post even though I didn't do it myself.
I just think the expression "nearly illiterate" doesn't describe him well at all. I have communicated in writing with much less literate people, and I often did it without frustration. And I do find the expression extremely rude.
Originally posted by roma45 i think the main question in this thread that has been missed, when the woman are away playing chess, who washes the dishes? 😀
Originally posted by greenpawn34 I have gone on record quite a few times stating the Olympiad
is the most important chess even of all.
If we can get them all playing chess, then they aint dropping bombs.
The fact is once every few years chess takes some children out
of circumstances and conditions we cannot imagine.
For that reason I am proud of chess.
Who gives a toss if ...[text shortened]... stop them playing in an Olympiad......Never.
These players more than any others belong there.
Do you support the opinion that chess also should become an olympic discipline? I certainly do. But then I also think that we should apply minimum standards to the candidate participants, just like in other olympic sports. Doing this in the chess olympiads would be a good starting point.
And yes, there can be justifiable exceptions, but that does not make the OP's opinion less valid for me.
edit. I forgot who posted it, but comparing woman's chess to paralympics won't do much to support woman's chess
