I am very interested in Kasparov's opinions on chess, not his opinions on
the war.

which implied to me that he didn't want to see the article posted
here, in this newsgroup.

Actually, I think that comment was meant to convey that Kasparov's *expert*
opinions on chess (analysis, etc.) were very welcome, but that his opinions on
other matters (such as Iraq, for example) were no more worthy of note than,
say, the opinion of David Letterman on the theoretical correctness Albin
Countergambit.
His point was very, very simple, yet somehow being ignored, as if
deliberately.

But he also added "please go away" which could not have been directed
at Kasparov, but rather at the person who posted K's comments. [Hey,
you snipped that -- are you by any chance an Inveterate Troll ? Or do
you happen to have handy a list of nice things other posters have said
about you?] Actually, Kasparov has been quite active in politics for
some time, so he may have some credentials based on experience too.
