I write this post in the hope of clarifying an evident misunderstanding.

Jerzy wrote to "Doctor Unclear":
The reasoning that "nice women can`t play chess and must cheat to win"
doesn`t convince me at all.
I've already explained my reasoning for suggesting that; you seem to be
completely ignoring my explanation of what I meant and why I wrote it.
Dave, you seem to read without understanding and take everything too
personally. Where did I write that I am addressing that statement to you?
I am against such statements in general because they are simply false.
*Perhaps* (this is only my hypothesis) this misunderstanding between Jerzy
Ciruk and David Richerby has arisen out of the context of another thread.
In the thread, "kosteniuk Cheater?!" (15 March 2004) David Richerby wrote to me:
"I wonder how much of the problem is that people have a great deal of difficulty
believing that a beautiful woman might be capable of anything other than being
beautiful."
Then EZoto wrote to David Richerby:
"Well you have to admit that she (Alexandra Kosteniuk) was more interested in
selling her beauty than spending time in chess. Now that chess is demanded of
her instead of hard work she thinks *she can do it the easy way* (by cheating?)
while still maintaining her image. Nope...."
Then Jerzy Ciruk wrote to EZoto, *not* to David Richerby:
"...If your claiming is true (*you claim that she cheated*) so the logical
conclusion would be that deceiving is what she plays well both in chess and
in real life...."
As far as I can tell, Jerzy Ciruk was addressing his statement,
"you claim that she cheated", to EZoto, *not* to David Richerby.
"Thread ordering is a tool of navigation, not a tool of 'ownership'."
--David Richerby (15 February 2004, "New ICC super-site?")
I would submit that 'thread ordering' should be followed closely enough as a
'tool of navigation' in order to avoid colliding with some less perceptible
hazards in conveying one's meaning.
