Your first post proposed

reduce risk to young chessplayers.

That is a serious misquotation. He actually wrote "Dissolve the
profit-driven scholastic chess movement". Possibly you are assuming
that all scholastic chess is driven by volunteers interested in chess
and the players. He said nothing about them. His comment only spoke
about those whose motivation is to make a profit from the scholastics.
Or alternatively are you confessing to us that the "profit-driven" are
exactly and only what scholastic chess is? That doesn't seem true to
me.

I've quoted it fully several times. I hardly think it's reasonable
to assume that I'm trying to deliberate mislead anybody about
Mr. Rynd's views. The point being that this statement is not
consistent with an alleged interested in discussing any issues.

He certainly has not explain the connection between profit
and child molestation, and it is not obvious to me. Combined
with him seeing sin in the selling of water, and having some
unarticulated theory that soccer moms are being financially
exploited, his distrust of profit seems to go well beyond
anything to do with chess.
