   How do you prove a negative? Sinquefield Cup arbiters already sent a press release saying they found no evidence of cheating. Magnus' intuition is not evidence, full stop. Hans' play itself is not evidence, full stop. Only actual

    Can you at least have the humility to quit pretending to represent "parents" as a monolithic group? I'm a Texan, I'm a parent with 4 kids in school, I think your side is ridiculously fascist.
