The previous article details the timeline and actions that occurred over a ten year span. USCF was definitely aware of the situation with multiple reports from different people. The organization may not be responsible for the actual occurrences, but not appropriately addressing it is complacency. Letting the perpetrator maintain a role of coaching (especially with vulnerable peoples) is blatant negligence or even arguably direct support. Your arguments do not accurately reflect the scenario and downright trivialize it which is kind of exactly the issue at hand.
The boycott was (is) ridiculous imo. Glad it's partially lifted. I don't see why the people behind lichess should decide what we should watch. This site promised to be apolitical. Looking forward to mode broadcasts.

This is not a political issue. Nor have I have seen anything on the site that claims to be apolitical.
They are not deciding what we should watch but are deciding which broadcasts to host/mirror on their platform. I would yield your point would have more traction if this site was more about media, press, commentary on free speech, etc. But that is far from the case here and it's not as if there's some kind of monopolization this site has on chess.
Thank you for taking a stand!

We don't decide what you should watch - we only decide which broadcasts our volunteer(!) broadcast team publishes on lichess.org/broadcast. Anyone was and still is free to create private broadcasts of STLCC and USChess tournaments.
good news
This statement was excellently put together. Well done and thank you very much.
