However, most voters know little or nothing about this. Many voted
just on the basis of campaign statements published in Chess Life. They
would hardly be expected to know about the serious problems with
everything involving Susan Polgar going back for the past 23 years.

Or... even your own problems, which go back even further?

They would not know that the problems Polgar has been creating here
are almost identical to the problems she created back in Hungary
before she got here.

Pushing the limits of the game to involve more players, eliminating
gender-bias from the inside, by actually encouraging self esteem in young
women, as if they were people too?

Those sort of problems?

People are terrified that the precious balance of the status quo will be
upset, that new criteria will apply, and a necessary transparency in chess
governance will actually be carried out rather than suggested - *that the
USCF will actually do something to justify its existence, rather than
continue to decline like a private member's club for the old boys.

Those factors are very serious problems only for those who like it the way
it is now. And those people talk about SPICE and KCF exploring their
individual paths forward as a 'rift', since it ain't a monolithic approach,
which in their opinion should run everything [down].

Do you feel that by posting thousands of obscene and pornographic
messages from "The Fake Sam Sloan" and by posting similar obscene
messages on her own blog athttp://www.susanpolgar.blogspot.com,
Susan Polgar has been "eliminating gender-bias from the inside". Do
you feel that her personal attacks on rival female chess grandmasters
has helped by "actually encouraging self esteem in young women"?

If you have such strong opinions on this subject, why do not you
actually come up with some money and join the USCF? Why is it that her
biggest supporters and our biggest critics are non-members such as
Phil Innes, Rob Mitchell and Taylor Kingston?

Sam, where do you get the idea that I'm a supporter of the USCF? I
am more or less neutral about and uninterested in the USCF. The only
sense in which I could be characterized as "supporting the USCF" is
that I have always opposed you being on their Board of Directors. But
then, I would oppose your election as a director of pretty much
anything.

BTW, I am sorry to hear of the rift between the Spice Girls and
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
