Of course I would fabricate 50% of the things I write anyway. If you
pay me, I write nice stuff about you. If you don't, you're going down.

I do wonder what this fake poster feels that he is accomplishing. He
has posted 144 times under my name in about the last month. This is an
annoyance to everybody. Most of the chass players know that his
postings are fake, but there are no doubt many who believe that his
postings are really me.

I have called the FBI about this, but they say that what he is doing is
not a crime.

The Real Sam Sloan

But molesting and ****ing minors is a crime. We all know who did it,
right?

The Real Sam Sloan

Why does this sound like Bill Brock? Not saying that Bill is the "Real
Sam Sloan", but hmmm....

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I decided not to say anything so
as not to provoke him, but now that you have broached the subject, we
can discuss it.

I believe that the fake poster is not Bill Brock. However, it is an
interesting coincidence that this fake poster first posted on exactly
the evening that I had arrived in Chicago to play the Grudge Match
against Bill Brock. The match took place the following day.

Although I do not believe that this is Bill Brock, the possibility
remains.

I have no idea. But I know what he is accomplishing: He is
demonstrating that it doesn't matter at all whether a post is from a
real or a fake Sloan - all Sam Sloans, whether real or fake, are
irrelevant.

Wrong - I don't know what Sloan did and I don't want to know. Most men
who brag about ****ing are fantasizing. Anybody who brags about
****ing Far Eastern whores is sick, a decrepit old lecher and a dung
beetle.

He is publicly disrespecting your wife, not on account of anything she
has done.
