I think reasonable people are usually able to overcome an initial unpleasant exchange, since we all want the same thing-- a good place to play games. And I think we do, Brain King is great. And who knows? maybe the existnence of Brain King will encourage IYT to deal with some of the issues that have upset some of their members.

Someone suggested an interesting solution just now on the features board about the "ratings sitters" who don't seem to want tp accept any challlenges.

I think it is amazing what Brain King has accomplished in 6 months or so, and with constructive discussion, I think it will accomplish much much more.
