I don't know if I'll go so far as to say I am disgusted by what I read, but it was certainly a shocking turn off reinforcing my view that Chess Chat is little more than a place to defame others. In short, Dennis Jessop's unflattering remarks towards one of Australia's greatest chess stalwarts were, in my view, totally unfair.

I had a brief run in with Dennis Jessop when he joined in with the other misfits on Chesschat to put the boot in to me back in the days when that was one of the main pastimes in the swamp.
He is a person who seems incapable of treating others with respect.
I don't know who "poor Charles Bishop"is but whoever he is I am sure that deserves better treatment than that from Jessop, particularly if he is gives up his time on a voluntary basis for Chess.
Some people turn up to clubs with something to offer; others just turn up.
It's a shame that people in the former category are so often subject to spiteful attacks in the Australian Chess world.
