Outcast status? I don't think so. Speaking for myself, I am a loner, doing my own thing because that's what I like to do. I don't seek or need validation from Seirawan, FIDE, IAGO, or any other organization of Chess players to be happy with what I'm doing. I am content that some people are discerning enough to appreciate my games, that various people are enjoying the use of Game Courier, and that it attracts enough activity for me to find opponents to play my games with. As for why Seirawan may want nothing to do with this site, assuming that's the case, maybe he is more into his own variant than he is into variants in general. That's a perfectly fine attitude to take. Not everyone cares as much about the variety of Chess variants as we do, and that is perfectly all right. Or maybe his main contact with the world of Chess variants has been Rich Hutnick, and he was turned off, rightly so, by Hutnick trying to push his own agenda on him. I'm turned off by Hutnick trying to push his agenda on us, and it is enough to keep me from wanting anything to do with IAGO.
