A good example of my point.

When the FOC was first created, Bill Goichberg, who personally
selected the members of the FOC, picked people known to be hostile to
me, such as Louis Blair, and also picked confirmed Polgaristas. The
reason for these selections was that at that time Goichberg backed
Polgar for election.

Fortunately, it was not long before all the Polgarites started
resigning. Then, when Polgar started attacking Goichberg, Goichberg
dropped his support for Polgar. After that the new appointments were
not outrageously Polgaristas, although most opposed me, including
Gregory Alexander and SteveTN.

However, when Gregory Alexander and SteveTN quit too, the moderation
became relatively neutral, as it is now.

For those of you playing along at home, this is verifiably not true.

Gregory Alexander has a huge habit of making utterly false statements.

There should be a major inquiry into the question of how Gregory
Alexander, who just joined the USCF for the first time in his life a
few months ago and who has never played a rated game of chess in his
life, first got appointed to the Forum Oversight Committee by Bill
Goichberg and then got appointed at a moderator, and used this power
to delete hundreds if not thousands of postings by legitimate USCF
members, just because they asked embarrassing questions about Polgar
and Truong whom he supported for election.

The fact that Gregory Alexander did this, with the full support of
Bill Goichberg, raises questions about the legitimacy of the election
of Mr. Truong, who just got elected to a four year term by a margin of
30 votes.
