Dates for the club final in Michurinsk.

Piterius - he's writing about the dates. He's insisting we play on the 9th.
He's like, 'can't do it, but you damn well better make it happen, I want it.'
Dima DVStranger once told me the right thing about being friends with Piterius, what would come of it.

Hmm, actually, if I insisted on anything, it was on the tournament base, not on playing on the 9th :).
Yes, I already realized that you and Dima are birds of a feather. He twisted and distorted things, and so do you. You also ignore direct questions, spout vague talk, and latch onto words or snippets of your opponent's phrases.
Filter your conclusions, Eric. I wrote clearly and plainly on the forum — post the results of the poll on the dates, and if the majority is for May 1st, no one will hear me, so what am I so insistently pushing for??? You dug your heels in, there are no poll results, nor the poll itself, so naturally I tried to find some options to come, but I did NOT DEMAND THE DATES BE MOVED PERSONALLY FOR MYSELF. Only if the majority votes for it! So don't be absurd!

I don't know what friendship you're talking about; we had a conflict several years ago. Back then, you already fancied yourself a top-tier org, making decisions based on your own arrogance. Almost the entire forum united against me, a forum newcomer back then, but no one — not you, not anyone else — could give me counterarguments other than the fact that you'd been here a long time, you were a great judge, and you had the right to be wrong. I thought maybe I was mistaken, I wanted to discuss this situation in person somehow, but it's all pointless. Everything and everyone that goes against you and your plans is simply dismissed by you. You are unable to accept criticism. It's the same now; you want to rely on your authority.

I don't know what you've organized 30 times, but believe me, renting a club, setting up the games there, booking a hotel or a tournament base — that's the easiest part of organizational work. The hardest part is gathering and uniting people, taking their wishes, capabilities, and personalities into account as much as possible. In this, as it turned out, you miscalculated. Bending somewhere, conceding somewhere — that's not your style. You're dug in on May 1st and the club, and screw everyone else. If you have limited options regarding dates, why take it on? Why set dates without polling the participants? How can you set barriers and negotiate with a club two months in advance? I see all this as "UNPROFESSIONALISM" in organizational matters. And the icing on the cake — "go to hell if anyone doesn't like it." And that's because EVERYONE should adapt to you.
I would understand it if there were tons of players, but there aren't, just a handful. Plus, you yourself insisted that this is an ELITE tournament, and winners of tournaments should participate. But no, for the sake of the club, you're ready to hold additional qualifiers — not for the winners, but for the club!

And you expect me to keep quiet about all this? I see no point in turning a blind eye to the most obvious crooked things. I always say it like it is, regardless of any authorities, even if it's harsh, and without any selfish motives, but for the triumph of common sense. And that's partly why I've achieved a lot in my life. Even if many don't like it.

It's the same in such matters — I always follow the principle of "adapting my situation to the circumstances", but never adapting circumstances to myself. That is a detrimental and unsuccessful path in any serious endeavor; it's a shame you don't want to understand that.

Enough about Piterius; I already wrote that I'm not coming. The reasons are clear — disagreements with the organizer.
