Sorry, but what does "terrorific" mean? I can't find that word neither in my 
Oxford Dictionary nor on leo.org. By the way, it is not Germany in the sense 
of the government or any officials but just a single person that filed the 
injunction and a stupid court which decided it without hearing the other 
side.

He was a Stasi-Member until 1990, that's for sure. The only difference is that 
he says that his activities for the Stasi were part of his "extended military 
service" and other people say he was a professional Stasi member. 

The other thing is that he supposedly threatened an ex-companion (he is gay 
btw) via SMS and his immunity was canceled because of that.

He says that it was not his ex-companion but just a renter instead and his 
immunity wasn't canceled. 

Well, he could just have corrected the Wikipedia-article himself or given the 
Wikipedia-authors evidence for his claims but instead it seems he now has 
provoked a big Streisand-effect all across the web. 

regards 
Helmut
