"Sam Sloan" You're a Dick. That's why no one will defend you.



I thought you were the Dick. I am just Smegma. That runny slime that oozes
out of you when you aren't talking (and I don't mean Syphillis).

I have posted on Wikipedia a List of Authors Banned

After some objections from me, Sam Sloan wrote
at Wikipedia (11:16, 29 December 2005 (UTC)):
by way of compromise and to save bandwidth,
I am willing to take Karpov off the list of blacklisted
authors, if that will satisfy Louis Blair.
_
At that time, Anatoly Karpov and Sam Sloan
disappeared from the list. I and others continued
to object. Subsequently, Sam Sloan's "blacklist"
disappeared from Wikipedia altogether and he was
advised by a Wikipedia administrator (06:37,
3 January 2006 (UTC)) to refrain from reinstating
the blacklist at Wikipedia until he could find
appropriate reliable sources.
If Sam Sloan continues his attempts to include
[the blacklist] in the article against the consensus
formed by other editors on this page, I will
reluctantly have to impose a block.

I can't resist posting a little bit more of the exchange.

"I do not appreciate [the Wikipedia
administrator] threatening to block me based
upon a complaint by Bill Brock who is a
complete nobody in the world of chess."
- Sam Sloan (06:45, 4 January 2006 (UTC))

"The so-called 'threat' to block is completely
within the blocking policy (either under the
'Excessive reverts' or 'Users who exhaust
the community's patience' clauses). In my
talk page you also stated that I deleted
Tom Dorsch on the complaint of Bill Brock,
which is incorrect; the article was deleted
as a result of the deletion policy and follows
the procedures outlined in the guide to
deletion." - the Wikipedia administrator

become the alter ego and willing agent of
Bill Brock. If [Wikipedia administrator] does
not cease and desist from this activity, I
will appeal to the higher authorities to

to block [Wikipedia administrator] from

It seems that the "higher authorities" are
about to get a very good idea about the
sort of person they are dealing with.
Perhaps another application of the "Users
who exhaust the community's patience"
clause is not far off.

You have got to be kidding. Asking if a Sam Sloan claim has been
verified is like asking if a camera held by an LSD-user has filmed his
hallucinations.

verified is like asking if a camera held by an LSD-user has filmed his
hallucinations.

Since you doubt it, why not try to buy a book by one of these authors,
and see what happens?

For example, they sell exactly one book by Keene, just so they can
claim that they are not blacklisting him, but Keene has written more
than one hundred chess books.

Go to Barnes and Noble and you will see an entire shelf of books by
Keene and Schiller which you cannot get from Chess Cafe.

I would not care as long as Chess Cafe pays the money they owe us, but
they defaulted on a $185,000 payment. They blame low sales, but since
they are refusing to sell the most popular books, that is not a valid
excuse.

I just did the same thing at B&N, even asked their buyer the basis of their
buying patterns - sales, he said, volume of sales.

Instead their is a reward for their practices, by priovate session, without
competitive bids after the first round - they lost the first round - the now
have a monopoly until Kirsan dies

The Wikipedia verdict:
_
"If Sam Sloan is basing his contribution of a blacklist
based on conversations (newsgroup or otherwise),
emails, or his own suspicions that such a blacklist
exists, that is by definition original research and is not
allowed. However, if he were to cite reliable sources
that declare its existence, then its mention may be
included. This is non-negotiable. If Sam Sloan
continues his attempts to include this in the article
against the consensus formed by other editors on this
page, I will reluctantly have to impose a block."
