Kramnick repeatedly accused Danya of cheating, which prompted a lot of ongoing abuse from his acolytes. Danya spoke publicly about the stress this caused him several times. Of course, as ever, Kramnick had nothing to back up his claims, a fact which in no way prevented him repeating them ad-nauseum. That's not being "forthright" or "lacking tact". That's being an abusive asshole.

This has been discussed to death but to reiterate here: people have been much too polite about Kramnick's nonsense. Danya and Hikaru are (were) probably the two people in the world whose bullet play is least suspicious. Cheating isn't very powerful in short time controls, and they have streamed thousands of games playing them. Kramnick's bullshit never made any damn sense at all.

Maybe you should volunteer on the suicide hotline, as I did.

Maybe, but I'm not sure if I have the aptitude to do that, or if you should be ascribing that role randomly to strangers, or if that gives you any credibility. In most countries, continued harassment, defamation and disturbing peace is a crime. Apparently even in FIDE rules as Nihal pointed it out. So FIDE is pretty much a co-conspirer.
