Default Silence of the Board

pending litigation.
Do you recall all the sarcastic remarks and jokes that were made by
board members about my lawsuit when it was first filed? They do not
seem to be joking about it any more, do they?

Even though the Fake Sam Sloan issue was the biggest and most
immediate issue that brought about my lawsuit, it was not the only
issue. There are about 50 small lawsuits in there.

For example, the continuing losses of over two million dollars, the
funny money accounting, the loss, misplacement or destruction of the
financial records, the pension/profit sharing irregularities, the
failure to post tapes or transcripts of the board meetings as required
by the by-laws, the exclusion of Bobby Fischer which is a violation of
the by-laws, the illegal sale of the building in New Windsor and the
refusal of the board to retain counsel and seek legal advice both
concening the sale of the building in New Windsor, the move to
Crossville and building a new building on land we do not really have
clear title to in Crossville, and the moderation of the USCF Issues
Forum where discussion of these important issues facing the federation
has often not been allowed.

These are just a few of the many issues that are raised by my lawsuit.

Many of these issues go back years and were raised by me repeatedly
during my election campaign and my one year on the board. No progress
was being made on any of these issues. It was all just being swept
under the rug. If some progress was being made I would not have found
it necessary to bring a lawsuit over this.

Several of the board members would be doing the membership a big favor
if they would just resign and not come here any more. Our executive
director is utterly worthless. Bill is a terrible president. Channing
does nothing but talk about how great he is. The only board members
who are not tainted in some way are Randy Bauer and Jim Berry. The
rest of them should leave now.
