There is no proof that Sam has ever put the USCF
at risk of a lawsuit or scared away sponsors.

Proof: a word often used by apologists when defending
their own, but curiously, avoided like the plague when
attacking those they don't happen to like.


This kind of stuff from the Old Guard

Old Guard: a fairly large group of individuals who share
nothing in common except that they are all, for various
reasons, strongly disliked by the Evans ratpack.


(in this instance,
the semi-retired Bruce Draney) is typical enough.

Read: Mr. Parr doesn't happen to like Bruce Draney
for some reason or other.


Sam ensured transparency during his period as a
Board member. The Old Guard will never forgive him
or, for that matter, myself for pointing out the lies
about the move to Cross-to-Bear, the cost overruns and
the like.

Readers who didn't just fall off a turnip truck yesterday
will note that Mr. Parr and Mr. Sloan were doing this
"transparency thing" of theirs long before Mr. Sloan was
elected to office. In fact, they will probably keep on doing
it, now that Mr. Sloan is off the board.


And, of course, Sam brought down a cheat
and apologist for FIDE among the Board majority and
forced a resignation. For that, too, he will never be forgiven.

All well and good, but not everyone here has any
clue who Mr. Parr is referring to here; normally, one
can expect him to name names, and then go on to
ad hominize, demonize, etc.

------

It should be mentioned that Tom Dorsch and James Eade accomplished a
lot more of the above than Sam Sloan did and they did it without
putting USCF assets at risk for lawsuits or driving away mainstream
sponsors and supporters.

Mr. Sloan has attempted to refute these charges,
but as far as I know, has been largely ignored. It
seems as though proof-by-accusation is the level
of things in this forum, and this is hardly the first
time that low level has been achieved. Witness
postings by Mr. Parr of Evans ratpack fame, who
himself seems to prefer this low level when it suits
his fancy. Me? I like the high-proof stuff, like
vodka, gin, or even DNA evidence, not the watered-
down proof-by-accusations of "he said, she said"
fluff.


I always said Sam would get elected eventually if he kept trying. But
only once because once he got in, people would never re-elect him. So
far that appears to be true

LOL! The test has been passed, after only a single
election (as if that means anything).


although who knows perhaps if he waits a
few years and enough people get annoyed they might elect him again
just to punish USCF.

People have short memories. The ones with the
longish memories, the ones you seem to think are
going to be casting the votes, are *elephants*.


I don't believe that he'll ever get re-elected as long as Bill is
still alive.

Directive: Kill Bill.


Bill will spend thousands in the future to keep Sam from ever getting
re-elected again.

Money down the drain. Two years after this "Bill"
character has been sanctioned, Mr. Sloan can run
again. As one famous quote has it: you can fool
a lot of the people, much of the time.
