Just when you thought it was over, Phil fills the bill with a will.

(1) rgcp is a cesspool so it doesn't count
(2) Sloan and Gordon are held in low repute so it's obvious nobody
would want to steal their identities.
(3) These charges are destructive of the USCF and they should stop
(4) Sloan has dirty stuff on his web site so it doesn't count
(5) A *child* could have faked all this evidence, so it doesn't count
(6) A master hacker could have faked all this evidence, so it doesn't
count
(7) The fakes didn't really *hurt* anybody, so it's OK.
(8) Sam Sloan did it himself, so let's drop it.
(9) The investigation was unauthorized, so those responsible should
be fired or otherwise punished (and their suspicions are therefore
invalid).
(10) Authorized or not, the investigation invaded my privacy, so those
responsible should be fired or otherwise punished (and their
suspicions are therefore invalid).
(11) The person suspected is a good person and has done a lot for
chess, so knock it off.
(12) The people complaining have complained a lot about other matters
in the past, so let's ignore 'em.
(13) You can identify the fakes by inspecting the headers so they're
not really fakes at all, just lampoons.
(14) The accusers don't have pure motives, so evidence they've
gathered should be ignored.
(15) Other people had motive and opportunity to make fake Sloan posts,
so why believe the evidence gathered?
(16) Stylistic analysis clears one suspect, regardless of any
electronic evidence.
(17) Sloan would have lost the election anyway, so who cares?
(18) Other people have done worse things. Why not focus our limited
law enforcement resources on terrorists and violent criminals?
(19) Sloan's charges are overly broad and not well crafted, so let's
ignore the stuff Mottershead found
(20) These fake poster(s) are forging web signatures and following the
suspect around the globe. We have absolutely no idea how it was done
or how to do it, but a child can do it. So ignore it.
(21) Anyone who hasn't considered the evil Historian has no
credibility. So quit talking about it.
(22) Gordon is 0-18 in court, so all the evidence is bogus. Give it
up.
(23) Sloan is 1-xx in court, so all the evidence is bogus. Are you
done yet?
(24) This is a witch-hunt that coddles Sloan. Have you no shame, sir?
Have you no shame?
(25) Mottershead used time on the clock or his own personal time to
conduct an unauthorized investigation on -- it would be rational to
assume he altered the information. So it's all wrong. (And you thought
they didn't study logic in Tennessee).
(26) The USCF forum no longer dismays IP addresses for each post, so
folks can't conduct investigations of their choosing. So, it's only
fair to discard Motershead's findings.
(27) Tim Redman called the USCF Forum "entirely political" and one of
the people scrutinized has chosen not to participate. We must ignore
the findings.
(28) The investigation is political, designed to neutralize agents of
change. Period. Don't pander to counter-revolutionaries! Naaaa Naaaa
Naaaa Naaaa. I can't hear you. I can't hear you.
(29) Sloan is a perpetual political candidate, so all the fakes were
political satire and are protected free speech. Throw it all out.
Next case.
(30) Long-standing jealousy and resentment over spurned advances have
driven Sloan to evil acts. So ignore what Mottershead found.
(31) Phil and Rob "actually know the people involved and witness to
their character" Motterhead's document is illusion.

!! Nice catch !! back-slap, high-fives! (31) is proof that the list
is evolving right before our eyes:

I've seen this one on Usenet, and especially in the Ninja blog:

As the Russian mob is afraid of losing their grip on the USCF, they
posted all the fake Sloan, Gorden, et. al. Usenet and USCF blog
entries. Motterhead's document is meaningless.

(32) It's the [Russian] mob's fault. Motterhead's document is
meaningless.

From the Ninja blog:

Actually,

What SH says is true. (Not about me being Paul or Sam or Mig). Did I
say Mig? Forget that.

This case isn't about whether Susan or Paul are guilty. Sam Sloan's
antics have guaranteed that they will walk away from this unscathed.

It is about the merit of the charges. The charges have no legal merit
because of the multiple snafus Mr. Sloan added to the verbiage. Bozo
the Clown wouldn't let the lawsuit fly and even the most conservative
judge would simply throw away the lawsuit.

Now, how is this for a theory. Paul paid Sam Sloan to file a frivolous
lawsuit because in reality both Paul and Susan were being black-mailed
by Russian mafiosos through threats of defamation lawsuits through
other past USCF EB officers on the Russian payrolls for decades. Check
the bank records of the most vocal dissidents in this case and you may
find some Rubles in their accounts if you know what I mean!
Follow the money!

The Sloan lawsuit creates a good block to the Russian mob's fork
attack on Susan and Paul. Do you think the Russians have forgotten the
loss they incurred at Susan's hands back then during the "Sack of
Rome" chess event? Also, they are mad about Anand's win in Mexico
City. Guess who has helped Anand become a powerful player? Yes, you
guessed it.. the Polgar Sisters. Now that she is on top, the Russians
want some payback and an opportunity to give American chess a black-
eye. Mr. Sloan may end up being a hero after all. Thanks Sam. The
check is in the mail.
