For the record,people in the know estimate between 5% and 9% of internet >chess club members are using computers at least occasionally to cheat. you can be linked by the handle, if it that is not the case, I can then say all the GM players on there use computers to play chess. He had no right to make a statement, you can make that statement because you are not naming anyone, and ICC who could be hurt by this statement have made it themselves that they know there are cheaters, so thus you can make your staement, as long as you do not make assumptions and name them. For instance just say a GM was that account name, the opening would be accurate and you are calling a GM a cheat. potential loss of earning from this remark which could cost him sponsors could be huge, and snce ICD control this, well then hey let them pay for it.
