How many moves does Magnus have to play before he's allowed to resign? Is he some kind of a circus lion? I think the outrageous behavior here is the response of the chess community to this relatively mundane drama.

That just seems like splitting hairs to me. Why is forfeiting in advance preferable?

True, but that's not what the tort of defamation of character is about in this instance.

I don't know, just basic decency. If you don't want to play against someone say it, and no need for everyone to prepare for the game, get everything ready, show up on time, etc. I can't think of a single example of sportman who showed up to a competition just to announce at the very last second that they're forfeiting. If you know you're gonna resign, playing the first move is just childish.

You cared enough to post that you don't care though.

I was quoting a typical MC answer.
He should be himself and just ignore such petty stuff.

Fortfeit without proper reason would have resulted MC being removed from tournament. Whether that is good or bad is not objective
Also by resigning both player Elo was affected not happening in fortfeit. dunno if that is anything either

There is no rule against resigning on move 2.
