Sam,
I hardly EVER post to the group, but let me make my stance
abundantly clear. I voted for Tim because he seems to be a person who
has the best interests of chess in mind. It really was a toss up
between him and you. Why did I not pick you? Because your people
skills are ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS. Having read only a few of your
posts, you strike me as a sad sad person who likes to attack others,
likes to brag, and thinks little of other people's opinions. You did
have some good ideas for the USCF, but you would have driven the other
Board members nuts, and they would have hated you, and you would have
gotten no work done.
Now, you lost.. Get over it. If you ever aspire to making a
change in the USCF, you really need to sit back and take a look at the
stuff you post on here. Conspiracy theories, personal attacks, etc.
Get...a...life...

Indeed, throughout the campaign, Hanke had constantly made racist,

False.
Louis Blair, I am sure, will provide us with 50 direct quotes where
you made racist, sexist, obscene and derogatory remarks, during the
election campaign. I do not have time to look them up, but here is one
example:

P.S. I am shocked and appalled that a thread with my name on it has
degenerated into a discussion of strippers and copulation with young
girls. Shocked and appalled. We might as well stop discussing chess
politics and start mud-wrestling.
I call I get to mud-wrestle with Beatriz.

I am a candidate for the U.S. Chess Federation Executive Board in the
2003 election. Please visit my website at http://www.timothyhanke.net.
Delegates do not have, and have never had, their expenses paid.
False. Please note: I am a Board member, not a Delegate. The USCF Office
told me Board members are eligible for expense reimbursement, but not till
they take office.
You are just amazing. You are not a member of the Board, and you know
it. You will not become a member of the board until August 11 and then
only provided that the delegates certify the election results. Based
upon your conduct since winning the election, I think it is possible
that the delegates will refuse to certify your election.
Probably one reason Hanke did not know this is that he has never
attended a USCF meeting of any kind. Hanke did not even attend the
2001 USCF Delegate's meeting in Boston, although he lives in Boston.
Had Hanke ever attended a meeting, he would know that these meetings
are attended by more than one hundred delegates, none of whom have any
of their expenses paid.
I am not a DELEGATE, you idiot.
If you are not even a delegate, then why do you expect your air fare
and hotel expenses and meals to be paid so that you can attend the
meetings?
Ever since winning the election on Wednesday, Hanke has been calling
the USCF offices asking to be provided with airplane tickets to fly to
Los Angeles.
False again. I called the USCF once, and I did not ask "to be provided with
plane tickets" or anything else. I merely asked what the policy was.
If you were running for election, you should have known what the
policy was. All of the other candidates knew it.
He has made it clear that he will not attend the meetings
unless his expenses are paid.
False. I never said that, and I plan to attend the meetings whether my
expenses are paid or not.
This is certainly not suggested by your remarks.
Sam, I'm sorry for your unhappiness over the election results. But surely
you knew your chances were minimal. It's time for you to pull yourself
together and move on.

This is not about the election. I knew that with the host of heavy
weights attacking me, including Jim Eade, Al Lawrence, Bill Goichberg,
John Fernandez, Bruce Draney, George John, Stan Booz, Neil Brennen,
Tom Klem, Richard Peterson and several others who attacked me
relentlessly, my chances of winning were not that good. However,
several of those who attacked me did not attack you because they
thought that you had no chance to be elected. They are probably having
second thoughts now, especially Jim Eade, who must not have
appreciated your frequent comments suggesting sex with his wife's
sister.
