I have been thinking about this and it seems that virtually everything
that Mr. Channing says is on the order of "look at how great I am".

For example, he claims to be a karate expert. He also claims to be an
expert at taking over and saving failed companies and to have done so
many times and so on.

I have yet to see verification for any of the claims that Mr. Channing
makes about himself.

Anybody who would say that he is a member of Mensa when he is not a
member of Mensa has a real problem in intellectual insecurity. If I
were a member of Mensa I would certainly not tell anybody about it
because it is regarded as a society of people who want everybody to
think that they are smart.

Yesterday, Joel Channing got four complete political threads involving
a total of more than one hundred postings deleted from the USCF Forums,
merely because a few of those postings made remarks critical of Joel
Channing and Susan Polgar.

Meanwhile, Joel Channing has continued to attack Beatriz Marinello in
the private email group consisting only of USCF Executive Board
members.

Here is a posting yesterday by Joel Channing to the private email group
of board members:

"I don't think Beatriz is as naive as she would have us believe. I
believe she is playing a low form of politics - character
assassination.

"Joel Channing"

So, it seems that it is OK for Joel Channing to attack anybody for as
long as he wants.

However, as soon as somebody says anything negative about Joel
Channing, then entire threads are deleted.

Meanwhile, Herbert Rodney Vaughan a/k/a tanstaafl attacks Sam Sloan 10
times a day, every day, for the past year in lengthy postings and
nobody finds anything wrong or unusual about that.
