I do not talk about it all the time! And scarcely write anything here that
is not a relatively anodyne report.
As for 'reputation';- I don't give a damn what people think.
But sometimes it is necessary to confront imaginary histories with a fact or
two - when the imaginative ramblings depart from any known reality, and this
is not grandstanding, but a correction of such nonsense that would otherwise
inform chess organisation activities, by saying what is really experienced
by real and named people in the game.
Particulalry off-the-wall are writers who completely resent and reject the
chess scene as actually observed at first hand.
This level of informed opinion about what really happens in the world of
chess players is so conspicuously absent from the usual politiking as to
almost completely isolate chess politics from the players of the game.
And this is the root and cause of all our trouble, the marginalistation of
chess organisation to the extent that it has NO partners to its endeavors,
and the major contributing factor to all subsequent decay of chess in our
culture, over which it presides.

You are most unreliable reporter of any subject on any newsgroup to which
you make contributions. You have messed with the context of people's posts
for so long and so consistently, and with such evident and obsessive malice,
that whatever you think is not worth further discussion.
