I don’t think I did. Forgive some paraphrasing, but this was our exchange as I understand it,

Me: This is a dumb rule.

You: It will prevent cheating.

Me: No it won’t.

You: It will prevent a specific kind of asshole behavior.

Me: That kind of asshole behavior doesn’t constitute cheating, it’s just being an asshole and trying to prevent that causes more harm than good.

And speaking of more harm than good, blood draws for everyone that wants to participate in women’s chess is inconvenient and unpleasant enough to defeat the whole point of this league in the first place. Like, “So we wanted to be more inclusive and get more women involved in chess, yahta yahta, now let me stick you with a needle and take some of your blood. Oh, no, you wouldn’t have to do this in an open tournament, just some special hassles for your tournaments is all.” is not going to go over well is all.

So, yeah, I still think this is a stupid rule that “solves” something that’s not a problem and creates a couple of new ones.
