> yeah some more words that have meaning "evidence based". this is not in the courts, but people should look at the evidence. this is not he said she said, like Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. this is a "he said" and, if i read this correctly, more than 8 "she saids". and the St Louis Chess Club evaluated what they heard and decided the witnesses were credible enough, and the circumstances were suspicious enough, to sever their relations with Ramirez. I think the USCF did the same. As far as I know, Ramirez did not fight this. if you get fired for false accusations, what would you do? would you hire a lawyer to sue her your employer? would you report the accusers to the police? would you hire a lawyer and sue them? Did Ramirez do any of that? did he start a go fund me?
