When La Popessa writes that she certainly does not agree with all of
GM Kosteniuk's decisions, who really cares?

**How about you?

But Her Majesty just has to get in her puritanical two cents worth,
no matter what.

**Unlike me and you?

Polgar and Truong have brought the pile of slime that they are
currently swimming through upon themselves by posing as a couple of
moral exemplars who would clean up the USCF.

**How awful! Morals! Who needs 'em? We have come so far without resource to
morals, ethics and such, that we now have, population adjusted, less people
in USCF than after the Fischer boom

This is the same shrill
windbag who blasted Sam Sloan,

**Who famously during his term of office couldn't 'notice' my question about
if he could pass even a high-school background check?

only to show up herself on Howard
Stern, all in the name of promoting chess, of course.

**Tamed him though - was he ever so respectful? Reminds me of Fischer's
boast about giving knight odds to a woman, which he quit mentioning after he
played a few blitz games with our subject.

It seems as if Her Majesty and the Great Puppet are certainly raising
the public profile of themselves, albeit in a way that The Greatest
Chess Promoter of All Time had probably never reckoned.

**Like you, I am deeply jeaolous. First that she genuinely gets mainstream,
public attention, and second that he married her. Gosh! Are we real men if
we can't whine about this?

**But thanks for your contribution, whatever you name is. You see, there is
a 'challenge' going on right now about those who have values, and put their
names to them, and those who whine from the shadows. But thanks for sharing.
