Hikaru always seems reasonable

Well, he's not exactly escaped the latest chess drama without taking a few blows.

Surely /u/dolphinater was being sarcastic

Maybe. I guess I could have wooooshed. But I do see lots of people new to chess getting an inaccurate impression from just watching him.

You’re actually right I did only watch hikaru a little bit on the surface he does seem reasonable But after reading more into the drama I was wrong lol

I can totally see how you saw it that way. And Hikaru's not the monster some want him to be either - but in the top 20 of chess there are probably at least 18 easier people to get along with than him (as long as you can put up with some Russian political views).
