What you seem to be saying if I understand you correctly is that you
pulled a post, then the FOC voted to restore it, it was restored, and
then you pulled the post a second time in defiance of the FOC decision
to restore the post.

If that was the case, then I feel that you should have been
sanctioned. After all, you should be required to obey the same rules
just like everybody else.

Now, you complain that the sanctioning process has been revealed by
Ron. However, there is another rule that states that the sanctioning
process can be revealed after it is completed. The sanctioning process
has now been completed with your resignation, since you will no longer
be sanctioned since you have voluntarily resigned.

Thus, we now know the real reason why you resigned, which was to
escape being sanctioned.

While you were moderator you pulled dozens of perfectly legitimate
posts by a wide variety of posters. I believe that almost all of the
pulling of posts was done by you as moderator5. There were numerous
complaints that you pulled posts simply because they were critical of
Polgar, whom you support for election. For example, you never pulled
posts by George, Mark or tanstaafl, even though they are constantly
attacking other people in clear violation of AUG, because they support
that same candidate that you support, namely Polgar.

Already we see Mark screaming because Polgar is no longer protected by
you from posts critical of her.

I think that now that the truth is coming out you will not find that
there is much sympathy for your situation.

Please note that Mark Nibbelin started the thread on the USCF Forums
and the title of this thread is: Dirty and Disgusting Politics -
Please Resign Mr. Goichberg

Thus, in the very title, the Mark Nibbelin has referred to Bill
Goichberg as both "Dirty" and "Disgusting".

This parallels the frequent statements on Susan's blog about:

"Dirty Chess Politicians"
"Disgusting Chess Politicians"
"Destructive Chess Politicians"

Yet, Mark Nibbelin complains that the forum is not being moderated
adequately because remarks negative to Polgar are now being allowed,
whereas they were not allowed under previous moderators.

However, if the AUG were being strictly followed, the entire thread
would be deleted and Mark Nibbelin would be suspended for a week.

Until you made this comment I failed to realize that Gregory Alexander
is a new USCF member who has never played a rated game of chess in his
life.

It was obviously a serious error in judgment when Bill Goichberg
appointed him as moderator, thereby giving him the power to start
deleting every posting he disagreed with.

You do not function as a quiet contributor learning the ropes. I don't even recall seeing a serious attempt to learn from the experience of others.

So Goichberg should resign and you should become USCF President. NOT!
