Before we attack Mr. Sloan for "poor sportsmanship"
in exercising his legal rights, we ought first to eliminate
cheating which is illegal according to agreement by
all, as spelled out in the rules of the game. An example
would be taking back moves (Gary Kasparov, caught on
videotape), distracting/annoying opponents, routinely
utilized as an effective answer by many players when
they are losing, etc.

On this we are certainly in agreement. Sam had every right, especially
in a game he deemed important, not to allow a take-back; in fact, I
think the mentality that leads to take-backs needs to be abolished.....
