I probably wrote it badly, sorry for that. I think that if someone voices his opinion and says 'I think <whatever>', this is nothing bad at all. (as long as <whatever> is 'within reason') And I think GCP didn't do more than that. He doesn't have to 'proof' his opinion. (it would be a fact then, not opinion) I realize that 'just an opinion' _can_ become a big rumour, which _can_ have consequences, like the Ricardo mentioned in his reply to me. (if ICC-admins believe the rumor, they can even ban the other guy) I don't know a good solution to this. :( Maybe not voicing the opinion as long as don't know much better would really be better in these cases. Sheesh! :) Note: Of course the ICC-admins can also ban you 'just for fun' if they really wanted. (at least that's my understanding of the written rules there) Admittantly (sp?) this is not very likely to happen, but it _can_ happen, since it's their sandbox, not ours. Sargon
