Its a known fact that Thorsten has posted disinformation and fabrication about Fritz 5 and Chess Base. I think none of the members here think that the kind of campaign Thorsten has been implementing is appropriate when it is not based on fact or opinion of fact. And, the fact of the matter is that this campaign is not confined to just a few posts, they make up a majority of everything that he posts. This is the very definition of a smear campaign and should be stopped. If that took bringing Thorsten's disinformation into the light and making him defend his untenable position or admit the truth then that is what had to be done, it wasn't done malisciously or without a lot of forethought.
