Christian,

we have here a general problem. You discriminate Eduard in a completely wrong
way. In a inhuman way. Let me explain. Eduard is NOT a Reizfigur (a figure that
causes heavy reactions by other people)in the first place but a famous CC expert
world-wide known for his anti-computer strategies. Now, Christian, that _alone_
gives many people the wish to annoy him, because he in return annoyed them with
his anti-computerchess. You should at first try to understand that mechanism. If
you dont you will repeat all the individual character defects you insinuate in
Eduard. The truth is that Eduard as a simple chessplayer with the special field
of anti-computerchess must NOT be by nature his best own lawyer!! Of course
nobody could do that in his own name. Of course also Eduard is making many
mistakes. Of course he gave you (in the staff) many sleepless hours. But NOT
because he's nuts (NICHT weil er eine Schraube locker hat) but because the
problems are too much for a simple, friendly member of a community. That is
exactly the reason why certain premature fools try to nag him. We all, you like
me, would be very confused if people did that with us! You for instance must be
aware of people who hate you because you work for CSS/ ChessBase. You cannot
change that. You must live with it. But note you are an official so to speak.
Eduard was and is a total layman!!

Thjat is why I told Mike that you in the staff hat the important role to guard
his human decency (habt ihr im Team die wichtige Rolle Eduards Menschenwürde zu
schützen) simply by declaring that you stand on his side and that no matter how
many fools would try you would still support Eduard for his engaged material he
always sent in. If you believe that you cannot do this BECAUSE the big business
will be hurt when the fools say, ok, if you support Eduard, then we will stop
buying the journal or other ChessBase products. THEN, my dear Christian, you go
into public and declare before the complete German audience, that you do NOT
support such mean blackmail, but you will always support the contributions of
people like Eduard. Period.

If you did that, I promise you, that would stop the whole nonsense against
Eduard! But the way you do it, you almost ask for more. It is inhuman how you
treat Eduard! As if HE had done something wrong and not the fools who hunted
him. He must behave, he must apologize, he must stop posting for a while. All
that is crazy and false. It is wrong. You, as a company, you cannot accuse the
man who has done nothing but contributing good stuff and tolerating the terror
of a few fools. This is inhuman and disgusting. Can you follow me so far?

I repeat.

1. Eduard is a very valuable contributer of CC stuff

2. Eduard gets into difficulties because he as a normal average guy is NOT his
own best lawyer in self-defence

3. But the mistakes resulting from 2. do NOT justify the exclusion of Eduard
from the most important German NG in CC

4. The whole problem can only be solved IF you in the staff of CSS declare that
you WANT further contributions by Eduard ad that you will support him against
any dirty actions - not by legal advice but simply by solidarity and loyalty

5. If Eduard saw that you stand behind him he will and can accept that he, as a
semi-public figure will cause certain fools to rant. Out of envy or hatred. BUT
CSS must solve the problem from a CC point of view and must NOT give in in
blackmail by the fools who threaten to stop their commercial interests in
ChessBase or CSS.

6. I - as a professional psychologist and friend by email of Eduard - propose
you in the CSS staff that I will advise Eduard in cases he cant look through
anymore and starts to overact in your direction because he is helpless and
thinks he must protect his good name and the one of his father. I would do that
of course out of Christian compassion without financial recompensation. I do it
for the sake of Eduard and his love for computerchess. Read what the famous
Dutch Tim Krabbé wrote about Eduard!! Eduard is almost an institution of
anti-computerchess. He would be a valuable contributor in any forum of CC. Since
he speaks only German and NOT English it is important that Eduard can discuss in
CSS as the most important German forum. Please take my poposal into account and
try to find a solution for him.

7. I have no plans for myself. So I do NOT plan to re-enter your forum by the
mentioned help. I had my good time as Schachfan and I am too old now to enter
into all the difficult technical problems of today's machines. So do not reject
my proposal out of ancient prejudices. And finally note, that the idea was not
even discussed with Eduard. If you agree I will propose him my plan and we'll
see if he accepts. I'm sure he will. But this is also a question of style that
he must not brown-nose himself as if he were a criminal in the past. When he did
something wrong it was because he is NOT his own best lawyer. But we all had the
same problem.

I wrote this message in public because I already told Mike the same idea. Here
to you I made my proposal now because I saw that exactly the main point could
NOT be seen properly by you in your post above. If you still see points that
stand clearly against my proposal please tell me.

Let me end with a human point. We must make the world a little bit more human.
And if we can help a single individual to live his life happier than before we
have done something very important that won't be forgotten. It would show great
class in CSS if you could accept my proposal to the benefit of Eduard.

I thank you for the patience to read my message.

Grüsse,

Rolf
