Default Polgar's Idea of Free Speech--???!

Here are some of the posts Polgar has pulled recently from her blog.

I tend to agree with Goichberg about the very negative campaign being run by
Susan and Paul Truong, and I've never been comfortable with the whole slate
concept.

However, to be quite honest, I ascribe the negativism mainly to Paul T. I
think Susan has not been well-advised in regard to campaign tactics by Mr
Truong, and that if she were running her campaign without him, it would have
been quite different. Also, I think Sloan makes a lot of people a bit crazy,
and Susan succumbs to this more than she should.

So my intention is to vote for Susan, and hope that once she is on the board
her good points will come to the fore. I'll definitely not vote for Paul
Truong, and I'd like to see his role diminished. I'll also vote for three
out Goichberg's top five picks.

I actually don't think Sloan is anywhere near as bad as people make out. He
persists on putting the spotlight on financial misdeeds and disorganization
at the USCF, but his information isn't as accurate as it should be, and he
lacks common sense and good judgement. Combined with some unsavoury stuff in
his personal life, that has made him everybody's target. But to a large
extent he has brought his situation upon himself, and his style is just too
divisive. He ends up being a big distraction. So, I won't be voting for him,
although there is perverse streak in me which would be entertained by seeing
him and Susan on the same board.

Susan, why do you constantly pull posts that criticize Paul Truong but that
support you?. Your association with him is going to cost you dearly in the
long run. For your sake, I hope you don't marry him.

Susan, should you be elected to the EB, you will not be able to simply
delete criticism as you do here. How will you handle legitimate criticism in
the USCF forums if elected? In the past few hours, posts from people saying
that they will vote for you but not Truong have been repeatedly pulled.
Where do you stand on the issue of the free and open exchange of ideas in
our democracy, even ideas we don't like?

Susan, when are you going to come clean about your attempt to smear Joe Lux
with an anonymous claim of impropriety 30 years ago? Be honest. Be
professional. Admit what the US chess community knows you did and explain
why we should still consider voting for you.
