Hans did nothing wrong. He asked questions (discuss a topic) you did
not like. In all the discussions it was Hans who stayed polite while
others (not only you) got irritated with your "go away" as highlight.

Every member is entitled to have an opinion. If you don't like an
ongoing discussion an alternative is to not respond and then the
topic will fade away by itself.

Now concerning the topic itself: I don't know about the press conference
after game-2 but Kasparov told the NY times the very same day about his
suspicion. If you say such things to a journalist I would say that is
"public". Of course IBM and co had to react.
