If we are looking at this from a civil court case perspective I think while Kramnik could share some fault for hurting Danya's well being and driving him to suicide (intentional tort perhaps? Or maybe libel defamation?) It would never reach a preponderance of evidence (51% in fault of Kramnik) in my opinion because while cyber harassment is serious I don't think that alone is enough? It would also need to show that the harassment was driven with intent to cause harm and was prevalent enough. Not entirely sure, thoughts?
But where is all this supposed evidence of cyberbullying? Have you seen any? The whole of these forums and X and YouTube seem to be filled with accusations of murder and bullying etc against Kramnik - but, out of 6 or 7 full thread, and a whole bunch of YouTube comments on various videos, and a couple of Reddit threads, I haven't seen one single piece of evidence for Kramnik doing this. None whatever. It's strange.
Thats called "not wanting to see the evidence"
Okay, post here please.
We don't work for free.
Post a link then, please? Can you honestly say that you have ever seen any evidence of Vladimir Kramnik cyberbullying anyone, rather than just accusing people of cheating?
Google "You thought i was gone? Speedrun return"
"Justice for Daniel naroditsky" and i forgot the name of the Hikaru video so just look st his most recent videos and pick the one bout Naroditsky
I've seen them. Everyone has. Is this really all there is? Hikaru was one of Danya's close friends. There's nothing in them about actual cyberbullying, only cheating allegations and how it made Danya feel.
You keep bringing up cyber bullying, define it! You wanna throw around a term like that yet you dont really know its meaning, also #2 i think the mental distress caused by defamation is much bigger. Please watch the final Danya stream and then try arguing with me, you dont even feel sorry for him, all you care abt is kramniks reputation, not the life that was lost
I was a fan of both. Danya was a brilliant teacher, YouTuber and chess commentator. Kramnik is one of the top 10 greatest chess players of all time. You don't have to hate one to be a fan of the other. But nobody is hating on Danya right now, he's at peace - it's all being aimed at Kramnik, seemingly without reason. I've watched Danya's stream a couple of times now (a version with and without chat) - I don't see how it's relevant (perceived harassment is not the same thing as actual harassment, especially if he was feeling depressed). As he said in the stream, it wasn't just Kramnik who suspected him of cheating, but Nepo and others as well.
Only difference between Nepo and kramnik is that one kept on accusing while the others werent actually a bully about it
So basically we both are the same except for the fact you work for free? Thats kinda dumb."
Dodge, dodge, dodge. Noemi has made a reasonable request: post specific examples of Kramnick's cyberbullying here.
I'm curious, too.
I'd wager many are curious about what this kerfluffle is really about, and they're presently busy with their popcorn.
