THE CLAMP

Too much controversy has been allowed to fester with no firm
hand in evidence. Dear Bill [Goichberg] and [Bill Hall] I suggest
that you really clamp down on anything in the Forum having to

Before getting to the crux, I am among those who
have seen no evidence putting Paul Truong's hands on
the keyboard of the False Sam and other messages of
that type. Until such evidence surfaces (as opposed
to geographical analyses and computer numbers that can
be jiggled by clever, if malign, hackers), it is
unfair to call for Paul Truong's resignation from the
Executive Board.

That said, the attempt by the usual gaggle of
politicians to close down discussion of whether Mr.
Truong or others are guilty of possibly fraudulent
behavior is ever so typical of the USCF political class.

Not only are they trying to do the impossible,
they are acting ever so stupidly. RGCP redivivus!

There is another possible scenario re the Truong
affair. It is possible that the USCF Old Guardist are
using Sam, who is the unwitting dupe here, to
undermine Polgar-Truong. he idea is to adopt a faux
statesmanship, involving censorship at the USCF Forum
and calls for prolonged investigation as a way of
positioning the Old Guardists as moderates who, at
long last, conclude that Mr. Truong ought to resign.

This latter is an ancient insider trick.

Yours, Larry Parr

I just read a threatening post by Brian Lafferty on the Forum. Apparently
he's talking to the press too (I hope you weren't Susan). Too much
controversy has been allowed to fester with no firm hand in evidence. Dear
Bill and Bill, I suggest that you really clamp down on anything in the Forum
having to do with this situation until the Board is able to get the
information my motion is requesting and we're able to calmly consider the
right course of action. Joel- Hide quoted text -

TRIAL BY JURY, the AMERICAN WAY.............

What we need, Larry, is for a jury of 12 men and women to determine
the facts.

Sloan doesn't ask for a jury trial in his complaint, and until a jury
determines the facts, the lawsuit will probably be dismissed. I was
accused of trying to bomb the very hotel in Cherry Hill that is the
subject (part) of this lawsuit by Sloan. It appears to me that there
is a real conspiarcy, and Sloan has concluded that he can stirr up
trouble, Troung's removal is up to a State Judge in Illnois, not a
Federal Judge in New York. Sloan lacks the funds to sue in the proper
venue to order the removal of Troung. Our discussion on if he should
be removed is MUTE until we see a lawsuit in Illnois, the state of
USCF incorporation in 1938.

Now, hell bent "chess congressman" might try to move the state of
incorporation to Tennessee, just to prevent Sloan from suing them in
New York. They are that crazy, indeed!

What I have done, is simply to take my rights as a US Citizen and Life
Member of the US Chess Federation (12421655), and file a complaint
with the ETHICS COMMITTEE of the USCF. Therefore, I have prepared a
scenario where I can get a jury to look at the facts, as Mr. Sloan
wants so much.

I wish Mr. Sloan would try to let a JURY determine the facts, and the
courts rule on issues of law. All that is happening is that Sloan is
costs a few people some money to dismiss this complaint, which has
some real issues.

As I see the facts:

Mr. Sloan was SLANDERED by a group of conspirators who told the Cherry
HIll, NJ police that I was going to bomb the hotel. The same people
who conspired to slander Sloan used Glen Peterson and Daniel Miller.

Venue to Remove Troung is IL. Sloan has failed some legal requirments
that simply can't be ignored.

Motion to dismiss for lack of jurdisction.....
Motion to dimiss for failure to state a cause of action.....

But, when the ethics committee rules on my complaint, when can return
to Sloans version of the facts, with an honest jury, that can rule on
real issues of law, that Sloan attempts to bring up.
