Over on the USCF Forums, Mark Nibbelin (who is one of those religious nuts) plus Steve Owens ("Steve of Tennessee") have been defending the Fake Sam Sloan on the ground of that the Real Sam Sloan is just as bad. Someone has pointed out that this is like saying that a rape victim deserved to be raped because she was wearing revealing clothing. The debate rages on. Here is a recent posting:

There was a motion to hold the next board meeting in person rather than online as has been previously announced. The vote barely passed 4-3, with Truong, Polgar and Jim Berry voting against. Randy Hough took a long time to make up his mind while somebody hummed the "Jeopardy" theme tune. Finally, Hough voted to hold it in person. I believe that Truong and Polgar had already told the board that...

Mike Nolan has posted extremely interesting data about USCF Members by sex and age. Thank you Mike Nolan. USCF members by sex shows what many chess teachers have observed, which is that among elementary school children, the girls are nearly as interested in chess as the boys, but as the girls grow older they lose interest quickly and almost all of them stop playing. USCF members by age shows...

Polgar Life magazine I am deeply disappointed in the current issue of Polgar Life magazine. Other than the picture of Susan Polgar kicking a football on the cover, there are only five pictures of Polgar inside the magazine and only 13 pages of the magazine are devoted to Polgar (not counting the letter to the editor, which is also about Polgar). Polgar is our only chess player we have and I...

CUI BONO? J. D. Walker speculates on the nature of our Fake Sam Sloan. A more useful question is the ancient query, "Cui bono?" The answer here is clear: the political Old Buard in the USCF is the beneficiary. The effect of the scurrilous postings, along with the endless sexual junk from Finance Committee guyo Bill Brock, was to drive people

Harry Payne of Oklahoma, who has close connections with Texas Tech University, had this to say today on the USCF Forums: I know there is a college in Texas getting tried of hearing all this bad publicity. Some major contributers are also concerned. I think the USCF should do its own promoting. The P/T combine doesn't seem to be doing too good. Harry Payne

No. It is not. Members have to be allowed to ask questions, even embarrassing questions, on this forum. It is an accepted fact by everybody, with no disagreement, that two million dollars of USCF membership money has gone missing since 1999. I know nothing about the Meeting Link money or the financial situation of the 2007 US Open, but I do know that these sort of problems have come up every...

If another board member sends a BINFO marked "Confidential" and I reply to it quoting some of his words, I am obliged to mark it confidential too. On the other hand, I feel that the only "Confidential" BINFOS should be those dealing with litigation and personnel matters. Therefore, when it was reported that Susan Polgar wanted to move the Polgar Girls Tournament to Texas Tech University and...

Bill Brock wrote on the New York Times website at at http://gambit.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/10/23/polgar-responds-on-her-blog/ : - Irony aside, given that Mr. Truong & Ms. Polgar ran a reformist campaign ("clean up the USCF"), isn't the timing a bit suspicious? You'd think this was a Teamsters or UMW election-I'm originally from the anthracite region, so Jock Yablonski...
