So, anyway, I apologize for implying that Mike Nolan was ever
suspended from membership in the USCF. Mike Nolan was merely suspended
from directing chess tournaments rated by the USCF. The suspension was
in effect for about three years. Ironically, Tom Dorsch, an arch-enemy
of Mike Nolan who was the strongest advocate for suspending Mike Nolan
in the first place, was also the person who asked that the suspension
be lifted about three years later.

Tom Dorsch had absolutely nothing to do with my being suspended as a TD,
as it occurred several years before he was elected to the Policy Board.

You can't even get your facts right on your 'apology', Sam.

One fact I definitely did get wrong was the date. I intended to write
1994. Instead I wrote 1984.

However, I do not really know the date. It might have been a year or
two before 1994.

Regarding the above statement that Tom Dorsch had nothing to do with
Mike Nolan's suspension one need only go back into the Google archives
and read all the times that Tom Dorsch vehemently attacked Mike Nolan
over this issue. It is true that Dorsch did not get a seat on the
board until 1996, but Dorsch was a strong supporter of Denis Barry who
was USCF President when Mike Nolan was suspended.

The real question now is why did Mike Nolan demand an apology from me
when the real facts are even more embarassing. Why did not he just let
it slide by?
