That is nonsense.  If you read the article, you will find he was _asked_ about
the cheating allegation and "he shrugged it off".  Shrugging something off is
something you do when you are asked about something and you don't want to
respond.  you "shrug" your shoulders and don't respond.  It is _definitely_ not
something you do as a way of revealing you were accused.  Shrugging is a
response.  Not an initial statement...

You really are Rolf, right?  The writing style is so close as to be an almost
perfect simulcrum.  You keep returning to this one point, no matter what the
topic of the thread, just like Rolf would.  make a statement here, but also
toss out a couple of trolls to keep things going...

Nope...  I am talking to a dreamer... but he won't wake up...

Are the log files now public?  Yes.  Does Kasparov still claim that they are
secret?  Yes.  That alone is enough to brand him a jerk.  He has _never_
retracted that nonsense.  And continues to make the same statements.  With very
simple proof to the contrary available.

You fit that same mindset it seems..

A scandal?  One of Rolf's favorite words...

Now I am sure...

go away...
