No Flag, No Sale

I've discovered chess.com this year and bought membership right away . Then chess.com removed Russian flag . I cant explain how disappointed and hurt I was by such low , unfair, hateful gesture from the site that I was so happy to discover just weeks prior. I know that you don't care about my personal feelings and maybe even were pressured to remove the flag but I know you also care about money and I dont think I will be renewing my membership next year.

Yes, it was Putin that caused heartache and mad unfair bloodshed, and not Russia itself, in fact many weren’t at all happy his choices regarding Ukraine, and I agree they shouldn’t remove the flag on the grounds obviously as they have.

I understand, but I believe they did it in wake of the unjust invasion of Ukraine. In order to show support, the site has removed the flag in order to make a statement to Putin that almost no one besides him and Belarusian president Lukashenko and a few thousand followers who actually justify the invasion. If you are upset because you support the Russian Federation in the invasion of a democratic country, Ukraine to be specific, then nyet, I will not support your wish and anger. But, if you are truly a pacifist and believe that the Russian people who aren’t bad unlike their leader deserve respect because they had no say in the invasion, then of course, I stand with you.

May you please give further insight on why you are upset? Do you support Putin or are you a supporter of the innocent Russian people?

Да, я попал в точку. Теперь я хотел бы узнать больше о вашем гневе на эту чувствительную и темную материю.

I could tell it was Russian, but I cannot read the text.
