To be honest Mike, I never attacked you as a person. I merely made an observation that "strong" chess players like yourself seem to believe that this position should be a draw based on the chess position. Players like yourself continually ignore the psychological issues that were present in the chess position. More importantly they deliberately ignore the psychological considerations that occured when the draw was offered. However, they tend to remember such things when it suits them! They normally like to tell arbiters what the correct decision should have been despite never volunteering to arbit themselves.
Furthermore, your comment about education is a little bit strange.
It is difficult, in the context of the discussion, to imagine a perspective where it seems valid. Personally, I don't believe that a persons intelligence is directly related to their writing ability. I think most people with intelligence would realise that they speak very differently from how they write.
However, since you brought up the topic, your written mastery of the English language is very poor. It most certainly not of the standard that is normally associated with somebody,like yourself, who has completed a tertiary PHD in economics.
A couple of points....
"Yours" is poorly phrased, and a bad choice for opening a sentence
"is" cannot be possessed by the term "yours" for numerous grammatical reasons.
"Typical" does not require a capital letter. but it most certainly needs the word "a" in the context of the sentence.
I could list further examples, but I will not. It is unimportant to our conversation because I understood the meanings you implied. Playing the class card was always going to be difficult without respected authority.

I beg to differ. In MCC 2009 allegro games I have an overall plus score against you.

You are entitled to your opinion. In my opinion, accepting a draw offer from a player who should be claiming triple repetition is a psychological mistake.

I cannot argue with the facts. You are simply a stronger player then myself at this form of the game.
