Show me this rule!
The Rules most often cited by Vaughn and Sawmiller to delete a posting
or suspend or ban a member are the following:

"Do not make personal attacks or defamatory or disparaging comments
about any person, group or company. Do not flame or troll."

"Do not post suggestions, without specifically identified substantial
proof, that a person may have committed an unethical or criminal act."

"If you refer to someone by name, use their actual name, not a made up
or sarcastic name."
For example, I started the thread about Grandmaster Benko being
cheated out of $70,000 by Citibank and an obvious scammer named
Wolfgang Roddewig in Brazil. That thread was deleted by Vaughn saying
that I am not allowed to make negative remarks about Wolfgang Roddewig
even though he is not a USCF member, or an American or a chess player.

The above is an example of Sam Sloan making up his own set of rules.

The actual rule says "about any person, group or company."

Soapy Sam made up his own rule, adding "but it's OK if the target
is not a USCF member, not a chess player, or not an American."
He then demanded that this new pseudo-rule be applied to him, not
the real rule that applies to everyone else.

You broke the rules, Sam. Quit whining and take your punishment like a man.

The problem is that with that broad interpretation, nobody can say
anything.

For example, one is not allowed to say, "Garry Kasparov took back a
move against Judit Polgar".

However, as applied in the USCF Issues Forum, anybody is allowed to
attack Sam Sloan including even calling me a child molester, but
nobody was allowed to make even a mildly negative comment about Susan
Polgar, Paul Truong or Joel Channing.
