A post saying: "Lets not jump to conclusions without listening to what Yoo has to say. We’ve seen many cases in which the allegations of a woman were not as initially potrayed and someone’s career can be ended by those allegations. We know nothing about this situation but what the woman said, and apparently there is no evidence but her word. She may be right, but maybe things are not 100% as she paints them. Just saying"

Reading the QueenRosieMary blog about Chess GM Christopher Yoo punching a women from behind with numerous witnesses and predictably there is commentator that somehow takes Yoo's side.

These animals are not as much the problem as the chess federations/clubs/websites that refuse to confront them.
