Fiduciary duties (e.g., Sloan's duty to USCF) should meet higher
standards. At the moment, I wish to discuss one (rather low)
standard--that members of the Board should not have a history of sexual
relations with minors. Or we could go even lower: if they do, they
should keep it to themselves and not advertise said fact in the course
of conducting USCF business.

In the case of Polgar:

Polgar says she was propositioned by Sloan circa age 16 & that she
rebuffed Sloan.

Sloan claims to have had a "not entirely Platonic" and "seamy"
relationship with Polgar circa 1986, when she was 17. Were this true,
it would be charitable fot us to infer a prior proposition.

So I once again ask Parr and Innes to answer the question: who do you
believe, Sloan or Polgar?

Acceptable answers:

"Sloan";

"Polgar";

"neither."

I don't see any choice whereby a dyed-in-the-wool ad hominist like
Mr. Parr could:

a) duck the question,

b) turn things around to a personal attack on the one asking a
question,

and c) not give a straightforward answer, since that would, for him, be
sacrilege.

Surely, the fault lies in the test itself, for not allowing a "more
flexible"
answer here.

As for IM Innes, he is in a bit of a rough spot here, for he wants to
both
support Ms. Polgar, and yet not offend Mr. Parr, since a toady does not
do
such things without incurring risk of demotion to "victim". [For
details on how
this bully/toady/victim system works in practice, see "A Christmas
Story".]
