Marshmud: I keep saying that Russian Brainking players aren't responsible about the war in Ukraine. Why to ban them ? If tomorrow the government of my country attacks the USA, will you banish me from your f/s, although I'm against war ? If tomorrow my country attacks another country and put people who complain about it in prison or tortures them, I'll say nothing because I'll be afraid for myself and my family and I'll think first to them. I suppose it's the same for the Russian population. It's easy to say that you have to demonstrate against a repressive regime when you're sitting in your chair in the safety of your home. 3 years ago, in France, there were very violent demonstrations (yellow vests), not very far from my home (less than 1 km). When you see the tear gas fumes and you smell the mustard which stings your eyes and throat very strongly and that the demonstrators break and burn everything on their way, I guarantee that you're scared. Don't judge too quickly, it's not so simple. And also look at the foreign policy of your country which is also friendly to countries with totalitarian regimes like Saudi Arabia for example : there, before 2018, being a woman driving a car was considered a crime. Did you, as American, denounce this or do something about it ? while the Usa is friend with Saudi Arabia ? As I say, the action of a citizen is limited in front of a powerful government.
So you think that Russian soldiers should be allowed to enjoy a few games of chess on this site when they are not busy murdering the innocent men, women and children of Ukraine?
seldom: you are being ridiculous. Do you think if you block any Russian, they will go and speak up against Putin and risk death in a Gulag so they can continue to play here? Are you living under a rock? If Putin plays here, or one of his top aides, sure, block them. But the millions of Russians outside his direct contacts know very little about the war and have very little chance to do anything against it.
You should learn the value of the free speech you enjoy, and start using your brain.
Aganju: Thank you for your commonsense ....some people do not understand that every man woman and child in ANY country that is at war is not entitled to live life as normal as possible....As you said get back under your rock
seldom: GOT it. So you're saying only people who do and say what YOU like, should be allowed to play on this site. GOT it. And how would you know who are soldiers and who are not? AND all they would have to do is choose a different country. That's nuts, sorry.
