I am much more comfortable with the concept of regulation by law and the
criminal justice system than by this sort of informal blacklisting.

It isn't me. It is the chess community as a whole. Sam Sloan is
basing his entire lawsuit, which he intends to take down the U.S Chess
Federation upon, based upon comments that Polgar and so on slander him
over the Internet and that cost him the election. If he has a
checkered background that can show more than that, then what is the
legs of his lawsuit?

As for who is acceptable and who isn't, when I discussed the prospects
of doing a chess-poker hybrid tournament on television, in order to
get chess on TV, I had people telling me the reputation of the U.S
Chess Federation, and their attempt to deal with minors, would make
that not a good idea.
