[computer-go] Goodbye

[Martin Girard <arister@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess I have found yet another mailing list full of morons to whom:
=>Psychology is definitely not their main strength (I don't try to look important)
=>Being "appropriate" is everything
=>Every sentence must begin with IMHO and end with a reference from a publication -- reasoning is strictly forbidden
=>Every point of view, no matter how misinformed, is perfectly acceptable while any criticism, no matter how valid, is unacceptable and obnoxious
=>Objectivity is a rather remote concept, while being pragmatic and knowing what you're talking about is unheard of
=>The point of most debate is purely semantical
=>Putting email filters is the most appropriate response to content they dislike, disagree or can't answer

Fine, I've seen enough. I'll do as I usually do when I find such a list and don't feel like destroying it: I'll recuse myself. I wish you to drown yourselves in your sea of pointlessness and irrelevance, trying to make decent computer Go players while not having an ounce of logic or mathematical background. I guess this is only to make yourselves psychologically visible and thereby important anyway.

Idiots.
