Chess Neutrality & the incompatibility with the chess.com stance on Ukraine.

Considering this topic has been at the top of the off-topic discussion for 15 years
https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/forum-posting-rules---be-nice--no-religious-or-political-debate

I find the hypocrisy of the chess.com staff on the war in Ukraine.com nothing more than revolting. By choosing a side in this conflict - through boycotting Russian and Belarusian flags and also banning anyone from prized events who displays sympathy for Russia i.e. Grandmaster Karjakin - the chess.com is taking a clear political stance and abuses the neutrality of the Chess game to impose their own views on their userbase.

 You are to be deeply ashamed of yourselves for doing this.

For me this is reason enough to boycott this website until the chess.com staff chances their stance. Hopefully the chess.com staff sees that they do not get to decide who plays on their website and who does not for simply having a different view on political matters; Chess is and always was a game which supersedes any political issues and this is no different in 2022.
