Can't they suspend you from posting here as well?

No, this is an unmoderated USENET group.

In any event, he does not seem to be an evil man, but unfortunately he
is a bit confused about a few things, which has led to some unwise
actions. Some have reacted to him as though he were evil, which is
itself mistaken.

All of the postings 5 postings listed above, for which I was suspended
for one year, were all posted simultaneously here too. You can search
and find them easily.

None of them were in any way objectionable.

They pointed out things like the fact that the USCF is losing $300,000
so far this year. They made what was intended to be helpful
suggestions to change that.

Unfortunately, Bill Hall, who controls the moderators, will not brook
any implied criticism. These moderators were all notoriously anti-Sam
Sloan at the time they were appointed and indeed that is the reason
why they were appointed.

I am sorry to have to say this, but your slanderous and untrue remarks about
Bill Hall alone, would be enough to get you a long suspension. Then your
entire bogus law suit is filled with madcap, unsubstanciatablel charges. Sam,
YOU HAVE AN OBSESSION, and the sooner you realize this, the better off we all
will be. It is sad that the USCF must run up legal bills to defend a suit which
will no doubt be tossed out the first time a judge looks at the content.
Sam, I know you care about the Federation and you love chess. You must simply
fight off the tragic results of your obsession. What else can I say. Jerry Hanken

If you are saying that my remarks about Bill Hall are untrue or
inaccurate, then you are just blind as to what has been going on in
Crossville.

The USCF has lost $500,000 since Bill Hall has been Executive Director
and is losing $300,000 so far this year. (Hall was hired just a few
weeks before Channing came on the board.) Besides, the USCF Issues
Forum has rules. The Rules are that one is not allowed to call a
person a liar (even though they are) nor is one allowed to accuse
somebody of "unethical conduct".

I did neither. I merely stated that Bill Hall is incompetent, lazy,
unqualified, inexperienced and often out "sick". All of this is true
and none of this calls him a liar. Thus, my posting did not violate
any rules and thus I should not be sanctioned, suspended or banned for
writing and posting it.

If only we could ban him from posting here. Just do the next best
thing and put him in your twit filter.
