He lies everyday. He insults people everyday. He's being a pest
everyday. He writes craps on wikipedia. He's a convicted felon. He
molested young children. He's an unfit father. He's an unfit husband.
He cheated against Bill Brock. He's an embarrassment to the USCF.
Should he be kicked out of the USCF?

You are anoying everyone. Should you STFU?

Who is Sam Sloan?

I heard this name many times on the group. Is he a chess Player {GM
etc}

I visited his website He looks like a good guy. He has shown ranking of
top 100 Players. What is the Ranking of Sam Sloan?

Bye
Sanny.

There is by now a small cluster of Sam Sloans.
And it seems to be ever growing.

None of them seems to be a GM. They are rather etc.

Which one? Most likely you mean the ishi-Sloan.

He has shown ranking of top 100 Players.

Don't confuse Sam Sloan with USCF and FIDE.
Sam Sloan is a cluster while FIDE and USCF
are single entities called organizations
(a poorly organized organization is still an
organization, don't ask me why).

What is the Ranking of Sam Sloan?

The ishi-Sloan would like to force himself
into the wikipedia rank, while he ranks
for dirty magazines. That's why he confuses
notoriety (he calls it "being notable") with
achievements and merit. It's like you are
confusing seconds and hours, which to you
is the same.

As I've written elsewhere, there is the ishi-Sloan,
gmail-Sloan, usa-Sloan, comments-Sloan...
Possibly I have missed a couple of them.

Have sam-fun or a lot,

Wlod

Sanny, as Dana Andrews said in "Curse of the Demon," sometimes it's
better not to know.

Sam currently has USCF rating of 1920.

I visited his website He looks like a good guy.

Sam tends to present a rather idealized picture of himself there.
Here on this group, Sam is generally an object of derision due to his
chronic mendacity, absurd pretensions, and many other strange and
offensive behaviors. However, his motto seems to be "There is no such
thing as bad publicity." Sam wants attention, and whether it comes in
the form of praise (which he seldom receives) or ridicule (which he
receives often), it's all the same to him.

Given the rubbish that Sanny has been writing to promote
his commercial chess engine, why should Sanny object
to 'chronic mendacity' or 'absurd pretensions'?

However, his motto seems to be "There is no such thing
as bad publicity." Sam wants attention, and whether it comes
in the form of praise (which he seldom receives) or ridicule
(which he receives often), it's all the same to him.

It seems to me that Sanny also may believe 'there is
no such thing as bad publicity' about his chess engine.

Sounds like Nick-Null Boobaki. Let's see:

Perfect but not complete:

No lie is beneath Nick. Nick the liar. The notion of dignity
is completely alien to him.

Etc. :-)

At least ishi-Sloan and even gmail-sloan and comments-sloan
have a contribution to rgc*. ishi-Sloan is good at raising the
impportant issues (recently the rating floor or is it floor rating).
All Sams are way more intelligent than Nick-Null.

The immensly huge difference is that Sams are entertaining,
have a sense of humor, while Nick-Null is soooo boring that
it is funny :-)
