It seems obvious that judgementday @ clerk.com is the same person as the Fake Sam Sloan. The posting pattern is the same. The writing style is similar. For example, both post so much that they clog up the rec.games.chess.politics forum so that all others are discouraged from posting. However, I am not convinced that they are both the same person. Also, there are two Fake Sam Sloans. One posts...

Sloan, I am sure the readers of this forum are getting tired of constantly hearing your repeated lies. During my watch, fiscal year 2004 and fiscal year 2006 the USCF actually made money. On the other hand, according to you the USCF has lost money during your watch, the current fiscal year. First, I must tell you the GREAT NEWS. The news is that the USCF had a SURPLUS for February.

There is a person known as "the one who's name we dare not speak". As soon as someone mentions that particular name in anything...

Entire purpose defeated to suspension of Polgar articles The board has been confronted with the issue of articles by or about Susan Polgar in Chess Life magazine while she is running for election. The issue is that it is unfair for a candidate to have articles published about her when other candidates are not receiving the same exposure in Chess life.
