Oh, CB I know you`d love to see another flame war here but not this
time

First of all you respond to my message about the Nomenklatura with a barely
relevant reference to communist party membership;

Secondly you dismissed my suggestion "that Karpov was an _earlier_
favourite of the ruling elite when Kasparov came to the rise, and had to
fight against that" with the remark that this was wrong while they were
_both_ part of it, without responding to the time they got their patronage;

Thirdly you state that a supposedly opposing opinion I didn't vent, but was
made up by you, is "at least comic";

Fourth you state that someone with a different opinion is a "Besserwisser"
and fears the loss of some "authority" of which you are the only one
claiming he attributes to himself;

And fifth you talk about another person starting a flame you yourself
initiated by ridiculing a different opinion.



From what I've read in this thread so far I suspect that half of your ego
could be much more of a problem than the supposed ego you contribute to me.


If you have such strong feelings about "winning or losing" an argument, and
finding being "right and wrong" a far more important issue than discussing,
why take the chance on posting to Usenet, which has such a notoriously well
known disrespect for every self-appointent authority?
