This is not a Jerry Springer Show!

In Response To: This IS A FORUM! (Christian Munk-Christensen)

Say a potential corporate sponsor takes a look at the forum where a significant number of the best players meet... no good for BG. Say a company who wishes to hire someone who is also a BG player posting here does DD and finds these posts... by association, no good (BTW, this is not a theoretical example).

And in general, I believe that society-at-large does not benefit from public quarrels, when the problem in all likelihood could have been simply resolved with the exchange of a few private messages. Or when someone is accused of cheating, just because he played very well.

I also don't like the idea that someone can clear him or herself from an accusation (an accusation solely based on a very strong performance) by repeating the performance. In such a case, it should not be the accused's job to clear his or her name. If the 'repeat your performance to clear your name' standard is used, Bob Beamon (8.80m long-jump, Mexico, 1968) would have gone down in history as a cheater, instead of as a phenomenal athlete.

It is not hugely important either way of course, but I'd prefer if this discussion would have been kept private.
