I'm not referring to comment(s) about a particular reader who disapproves with my post but it was directed to other commenter in this blog actually. In other words, they are fighting in my comment box. commenter vs. commenter in an ugly scene and their argument is not directly with Des Catoloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667134403447404389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694261229526844202.post-71283081060416145422009-08-01T16:27:14.323+08:002009-08-01T16:27:14.323+08:00D Catolos' post about chess in RP curriculum s...D Catolos' post about chess in RP curriculum stirred up a hornet's nest simply because the view expressed by the blogger was biased and misinformed. <br /><br />It is no small wonder he got a tirade from an anonymous reader that prompted him to ask "for everyone to remain civil and respect other opinions as well."<br /><br />This is not to condone cursing and hurling invectives The Chess Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527135035512786802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694261229526844202.post-67291078799651258652009-06-14T18:12:43.978+08:002009-06-14T18:12:43.978+08:00I have this thought lingering long long ago -

If there's one thing this blogger learn..."<br />If there's one thing this blogger learned from chess blogging for just over a year is that there is more to life than playing or writing about chess. Fighting and arguing for what is good for chess, for what is good to a chess prodigy or for what is good in Philippine chess in general for the sake of national pride is a complete waste of time and energy.

These Filipinos are some of the best in their respective sports but they received little from our government support. Si Wesley e grabe ang suportang natatangpap nyan from the government and public sector papano nila sasabihin na walang suporta si Wesley dito sa pilipinas? Napaka unfair sa critko ng gobyerno natin eh. Tang ina naman.
