While the running of the USCF is important, it certainly isn't the same
as running a city, state, or country. Certainly at those levels it's
important to have opposing parties. However right now the USCF just
needs to get its image together.

In spite of the impression you will get from reading this forum, we get
along with each other much better than probably any other board in
recent memory. I could give you a lot of examples of this but instead I
will simply summarize by saying that every other board for the past
twenty or more years have had their meetings characterized by yelling
and screaming and acrimony.
Of course, one reason why our meetings have gone smoothly is the fact
that five of the board members are polite and respectful of others.
For example, when Beatriz Marinello discovered that Joel Channing's
hand was on her leg, she did not scream, she did not hit him with her
purse, she did not slap him, she simply removed the hand from her leg
and went on as though nothing had happened.
