I'm not sure which side you're arguing for, but anyway I agree with you. If you
are aware that you're only being told half-truths then you should also know that
it's reckless to form a quick conclusion.  I saw posts strongly accusing Adams
and Kasparov pretty soon after the fiasco occurred.  And after it starts it's
like
the domino effect with people picking up on what's been said, and taking it
a little further, until the claims are outrageously disproportionate with the
actual events.

Let's say (and I'm not suggesting this will happen) that some fact comes to
light which completely clears Adams of any suspicious behaviour.  All those
who insulted him will be made to look pretty bad.

Mike.
