This "biography" is filled with personal attacks! It is not a very
objective peice of work and filled with speculation. More like a
work of fiction rather than a biography. You should be ashamed, Mr.
Sloan.

| Tom Dorsch Wikipedia Controversy

| I posted a biography of Tom Dorsch, the same biography I have posted

| Within the last two days, my biography of Dorsch has been

| personal attack.

| Here is what I have written in response:

| Regarding the Tom Dorsch biography, you are simply wrong. If
| you will go to the Usenet group rec.games.chess.politics and search
| for postings by
you will find that he has posted
| 2680 times to that group. That is two thousand six hundred eighty
| times. Tom Dorsch has written and posted extensively on such subjects
| as bargirls in Tijuana. There is nothing in my biography of him that
| can be considered a personal attack, especially since it is based on
| what Dorsch himself wrote. In addition, Dorsch has run for election
| and been elected several times to public office in chess. Thus, others
| have a right to express their views. Dorsch himself is aware of this
| biography can modify it himself if he disagrees. Sam Sloan 12:13, 16

| I would like the opinions of anybody else on this issue. The Wikipedia
| biography of Dorsch is at
|
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Dorsch
|
| but to understand what is going on you have to see the history page at

|
| The two people making deletions do not appear to be chess players and
| are not a member of this group. One is a woman who seems to have been
| involved in several other editing wars.
