Gee whiz "BOT"......Lighten up! You don't know me at all and are now claiming no amount of evidence is acceptable to me and would I like to wager on Ben's actions....Are you serious? First off,I really don't care about all this and was just innocently chiming in because I felt "maybe" Ben was getting a bad rap.He comes off as funny and slightly sarcastic in his videos and puts up with a lot of dumb input from the streaming chat messages....Like yours,here!
Like I'm really invested enough to accept a wager from you on this...Please! I thought I was being polite and you want to take it to another level...Lie down and get a good nights sleep...You'll feel better.
You can join the chess community if you want to be on the inside. I already told you about how Ben handles himself on Facebook and politically and with hate. He has blocked plenty of other chess professionals for factually correcting him in civil ways. What you're doing is concern trolling. You're pretending to be objective and care, but once I provide the evidence, you don't even care. Listing players that think Ben Finegold is a disgrace to chess (like Jacob Aagaard) won't add much to the discussion. You're pretending people are just hateful and don't have good evidence, while varelse1 knows him personally. No amount of evidence is acceptable to you, so just leave it as is or join the chess community. If I paste in a chat from a Facebook group from Ben would you like to wager $50 that it's exactly as described by people on this forum? Or are you not willing to put your money where your mouth is, while you claim to be fact-checking and "skeptical."
What kind of hateful political views does he have? I have never heard him utter anything hateful politically.
