Most successful business people are capable of working with people that
they dislike

Most successful people in business, any business are able and
frequently work with people that they intensely dislike. I doubt any
sizable fortune has been built without a good deal of personal hatred
among business associates.

The USCF, Sam Sloan included remains totally unable to deal with people
that they dislike. Therefore, the USCF business model (if one exists)
fails. I wonder why?

The reason the USCF has little success is business is the total lack
and maturity of the management team and the Board of Delegates.

In these snob cliques, it is easier to ignore your “political�
opponents.

In the business world, this really doesn’t happen to the degree that
it happens in Chess. Your sport fails and dies, and taxi drivers like
Sam Sloan respond

 **** YOU, ASSHOLE.

In other words, every time I spend a sizeable amount of money to fight
FIDE, and the USCF doesn’t do the right thing with its neighbors, I
am going to have to hurt American Chess. There is no avoiding it.

Nobody respects chess, everyone is fighting, and the game gets hurt.
Now, you finally have somebody in the form of Marcus Roberts to pour
gas on the fire.

**** AMERICAN CHESS. It was the American’s who failed to help St
Kitts and Nevis. Sam Sloan has no clue as to what is going on. He still
doesn’t understand as he reads this. How are you going to sit on the
executive committee when you flame somebody who has the power and money
to **** American Chess? In fact, given the USCF’s cash state, I would
think that negotiation would be more appropriate than childish flames.
