You cant stand ethic on its head.And also if a majority would forgive him for
his betrayal you then are not entitled to insult all the rest for having not yet
forgiven him. This comes a bit outlandish. I have seen some scandals in chess
during my lifetime and usually the sinner went away for a while and kept
silence. Dont you realise that here someone reacted in a different way? And you
want to support him? Do you offer your true identity, credit card number and all
or is it just a virtual game? :)

How can you conclude his ashamedness if he more or less showed his disgust about
the group's reactions? (NB I dont need any further answers, to me the case is
crystal clear, but if people twist its meaning then some clarifications should
be allowed. So I can only advise that the supporters of Thomas better keep quit
instead of shouting too loud about some certain injust that happened to him.
Just IMO.)
