Cheating speaks for itself.

I agree with this criticism. All should be considered innocent unless proven guilty.

> Some people (and some of those are the same) think because Ukraine has corruption it is ok to invade it and carry out war crimes against him.
Comparing the war in Ukraine with social behaviour within the chess community is a unfair comparison.

> In both case we have a situation where someone who objectively has some (relatively minor) flaws is completely denied the right to any human decency because of these flaws. The though process is the same though the proportions are obviously very different.
You are overthinking this issue. And your comparison is horrendous. Accusing someone of cheating isn't similar to accusing someone of rape. Show some class.

> That's exactly what I am mocking. You are obviously sensitive to sarcasm, are you?
I love sarcasm, when it is either funny and/or obviously sarcastic. Rape and murder isn't funny, even less so when compared to cheating allegations.
Your post was said in the worst taste.

Might be, but that's not what I am doing. I am comparing the thought process of those who justify slandering Hans to the thought process of those who justify the war in Ukraine. The map is not the territory (and for reference the reason I made this comparison is Dim_Tool successively opened two threads doing exactly that).
