Ms. Polgar speaks:

Donna IS above them. I do not always agree with her decisions or
actions but in this instance, she courageously spoke out against this
disgusting tactic, even against her own supporters. Here is what she
wrote:

"Please provide where those documents are listed in the public domain
- other than where you put them there. Is this not a Family Court
action in which case, actions are usually kept sealed to protect the
kids? Do you really think that Child Protective Services would have
allowed the children to be moved if there was a danger to them? You
are so utterly and completely out of line with this that words cannot
begin to describe the disgust it creates. You have not appreciated it
when others have attacked you for the "kidnapping" of your own
children or alleged that you are a "child molester" and yet you don't
seem to hesitate to put forth the notion that Ms. Polgar is a child
abuser. This smear tactic is abhorrent on its face. Do the right thing
and stop promoting this libel. In fact, do the better thing and
apologize for involving yourself in Ms. Polgar's personal life - it's
none of your damn business or USCF's or mine. In fact, do me one
better and delete me from your email list. Donna Alarie"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I explained to Donna Alarie, protective orders such as the one
issued here are generally given to schools, day care providers,
landlords--anyone who might need to know what has been ordered to
protect the child. I don't believe everyone will agree with the
position that such matters are not relevant. For people such as Ms.
Polgar who claims to adhere to a higher moral standard, such facts do
tarnish the image of sainthood. When one injects oneself into the
politics of the USCF, one loses ones expectation of a certain level of
privacy. Mr. Sloan found this out and had the facts of his custody
case raised against him by none other than Trolgar and their minions.
For them to complain when they are faced with disclosure of image
harming facts is hypocritical at best, disingenuous in the extreme.

She deserves to be praised for this. Some people know full well that
it is purely a malicious distortion and fabrication but decided to
keep quiet because it fits their political scheme. I definitely did
not condone the many actions of Jerry Hanken but I removed the vicious
questions about his conduct from years ago, even though it was true.

The problem is there are some who want to be in power so badly that
they are willing cross any boundary to achieve it. The USCF PAID
attorney also asked the board to “investigate” these bogus charges
against my husband and me as an attempt to get rid of us. If this is
false, I challenge the board majority to state publicly that this
never happened. They did not deny this. And the members have to pay
for this cost. As I said before, not a single board member publicly
spoke out to stop these lies or ask their people to back off.

This is why the USCF is in its position right now. Instead of doing
everything possible and uniting everyone who is qualified to help save
the USCF, these repulsive political tactics are being used against
people who want positive changes for the USCF. And people wonder why
so many good people continue to walk out on the USCF and why this
federation continues to have massive losses.

Some people fault me for going against the board majority. No, I am
not going against them. I am going against the politics as usual
status quo, the failing system, the incompetence, the inefficiency,
the lack of energy and enthusiasm, and the countless other causes
which contribute to the demise of this federation. This federation
needs an energy boost and a new direction. The same old status quo is
failing miserably. As long as these people continue to put the USCF in
more financial and legal jeopardy, I will continue to speak out. All
members need to know what our elected officials are doing with their
money. We all deserve better for our national federation.
