Hi Bertil, I should clarify my point a little better, I think. I am sorry that I was misunderstood. No, I do not think that it is OK for _anyone_ to write the way Thorsten did about Enrique. However, he always backs off when in a pinch, so that moderators find themselves in a strange situation with Thorsten: in a no man's land, so to speak. He issues an apology or a watered down version of what he's said first, etc., so that it is very difficult to actually ban him. On the other hand, when he sticks to regular computer chess, regardless of his outspoken comments, he can be a very valuable contributor, pinpointing weaknesses and strengths of different programs with remarkable acuity. When I said that he tended to produce hot air most of the time, I thought it was sufficient to describe my position regarding him. To sum up: I think that Thorsten really did an ugly thing when writing about Enrique submitting lies to CSS. I only did not think that he should have been banned for that, as that was merely his _opinion_ -- downright false and slanderous as I am concerned. Thorsten has a way with moderators though, he somehow slips right through our hands... Just ask Bob Hyatt (who too is unexpectedly soft on Thorsten :))... Regards again, *** Djordje
