I think that Kirkwood closed the thread due to the original post having been addressed to what he deemed to be at a satisfactory level. He is staff for a reason and he is within his right to close threads. Beyond that, I don't know enough about the internal workings to comment further.
While you are also within your right to bring up that which you feel was cheating and inappropriate behaviour, it's important to accept other peoples' opinions on the subject as well. There is no objective answer to an inherently subjective viewpoint, and I think it's important for everyone here to acknowledge this and agree to disagree, as this is something that could be argued for an eternity with nothing concrete to show for it.
I personally enjoy watching a Chessbrah stream. However, I know it is not for everyone. It's important to keep in mind that viewers go on Twitch to enjoy the content that is being streamed, and if people stick around to watch then it's very likely that they are enjoying what they are seeing. Someone old enough to have an account on Twitch is, as is per Twitch's policy, old enough to decide whether or not the stream is appropriate for oneself.
The Chessbrah channel does have its positives, including providing many insights to chess positions in an informal and entertaining way, unique personalities that can help expand the chess community and upbeat and honest streamers that are simply being themselves. We do all say things in the moment that we regret later, which chessbrah did acknowledge. Anything beyond that is simply him being himself, which is exactly what you are doing.
Fair enough, you made some good points there. I have reconsidered my position and I'm no longer going to pursue the matter, I just don't like being called a liar when I don't lie. Peace and love be with you all.
