I have met (some in person) very nice people here, I cannot stand/tolerate the haters who feel they must insult my ethnicity, gender, etc. from behind their anonymous usernames. Trash talk is very different than hate-speak! Common courtesy, respect & sportsmanship are lacking among many of the members. Thank you to all of my friends who have added their voices to lobby chess.com to make this site a safer place for women players and ALL players. Peace. Mika
