Andy M,
As a director of CS, and a Scottish titled player, you should be doing everything to support the Commonwealth games coming to Scotland. To trash it with not the 'real' commonwealth games and withdrawing cause 'your tea gets cold' is just totally crazy, demeaning and belittling of what looks like a fantastic event (massive thanks to Alex, Andy H and of course our very generous benefactor).
Personally, I've given 100% for chess in Scotland - its something I'm very passionate about. Things like this (and other incidents we should probably not return to for the sake of blood pressure levels!) which can tarnish the image of chess in Scotland really frustrate me and sometimes even makes me wonder why I bother putting effort in.
In your position I'm perplexed how you could have made such comments. I suggest you reconsider the comments, or if not, reconsider your position.
