Of course some of them do. They are people too. They are not Gods 🙄

They can't post without being hassled or stalked which is unfortunate.

I'm sure I've seen Ben Finegold commenting in a thread about himself before. And I also vaguely recall a very brief period ages ago where some top GM's posted a few things. I distinctly remember Giri posting and others too, maybe Anand. Real accounts with the GM titles there etc. Then after that one instance on one day it never happened again. Pretty sure I didn't dream it.

Yep! You sure didn't dream it @Strangemover. Here's one such thread where Ben Finegold commented~

Ben Finegold also posted multiple times in this thread:

Where he even roasted a few people. There was also an autobunny topic from a long time ago where  GM @spicycaterpillar just casually left a comment and nobody really reacted at all. Especially weird considering he only has 6 points on the site
