Thanks for the clarification, I understand now that you think it is ok to call
people, liar, cheater, bought, corrupt or bribed as long as they have written
articles about a chessprogram. Your speciality may be language and semantics but
I don't find the difference big enough to accept this.

Of course he is "quite a character" but what do you mean with his penetrating
insight? Do you mean that he know that certain peoples and organizations are
bought.

Yes, he is probaly much better on this but I should have defended anyone that I
found falsely accused for something.
