On 2 May 2006 19:42:15 -0700, I posted a copy of a
Wed, 01 Oct 2003 17:02:27 GMT Timothy Hanke note describing an incident involving Sam Sloan, a diaper, and a board meeting. _ John J. wrote (Wed, 03 May 2006 05:44:12 GMT): If that's true, it's very disturbing. _ By now, John J. is probably aware that Sam Sloan has posted (3 May 2006 05:31:30 -0700) a claim that the "entire story ... was a complete fabrication." Of course, there is no way for John J. to find out for himself what the smell was like, but he is in a position to note that the Timothy Hanke and Sam Sloan accounts agree that there was a complaint. Also, Sam Sloan does not dispute that he did a change right there in the board meeting. _ John J. can also note that Sam Sloan is posting his "fabrication" claim about fifteen months after Timothy Hanke stopped posting here. I suggest that John J. try looking for a similar claim in the notes that Sam Sloan posted in early October of 2003 when Timothy Hanke would have been around to respond. A google search for "diaper" finds nothing in any Sam Sloan 2003 rgcp note. _ Another consideration is the degree to which Sam Sloan's own notes are consistant. Compare _ "I asked for permission to ask just one question, which was granted by Beatriz Marinello. The question I asked was for Tim Hanke which was to explain his posting to this group about his grand plan for the future of the USCF. ... My question was softball, the kind an ally would ask to give a politician an excuse to speak." - Sam Sloan (3 May 2006 05:31:30 -0700) _ with _ "I said that I had something to say, but that certain people in the room will find it objectionable and will want to call the police to have me thrown out, ... I said that ... I feel that the board should be concerned about some of the things that [Tim Hanke] has been saying. ... since the Executive Board meeting on August 11, 2003, Tim Hanke has made 204 postings to the Internet ... he has represented himself as a person with authority in the USCF and he has stated that he wants to close down the books and equipment business and he wants to ..." - Sam Sloan (Tue, 30 Sep 2003 19:00:47 GMT) _ _ In the Holiday Quiz incident, all the relevant information can be found with google. (The key note is reproduced at the end of this note.) _ "Taylor Kingston is involved with USCF Sales and is the perpetrator of the blacklist." - Sam Sloan (Thu, 22 Dec 2005 19:11:53 GMT) _ "No one [at USCF Sales] consults me on what to stock in the catalog. I have never 'perpetrated' any 'blacklist' of chess authors, or of anyone else." - Taylor Kingston (22 Dec 2005 12:32:53 -0800) _ Sam Sloan's accusation continued to appear on a Wikipedia discussion page. _ "I have had no involvment ever with USCF Sales, except for buying the occasional book." - Taylor Kingston (28 Dec 2005 09:31:43 -0800) _ "If that is the case, then kindly explain why when I look at the chesscafe.com website I see the words "Taylor Kingston & Hanon Russell" prominently displayed at the top." - Sam Sloan (Wed, 28 Dec 2005 18:09:39 GMT) _ "It's the 9th Annual ChessCafe Holiday Quiz. I wrote most of it, Hanon Russell the rest. Been doing that for eight years now. Has nothing to do with USCF Sales." - Taylor Kingston (28 Dec 2005 10:29:37 -0800) _ "I suggest looking at ... chesscafe ... and seeing that what it actually says there is "Holiday Quiz by Taylor Kingston & Hanon Russell". - Louis Blair (29 Dec 2005 03:30:41 -0800) _ I have not seen anything more on this matter from Sam Sloan or Larry Parr, but, at one point, even Larry Parr DID feel obliged to acknowledge: _ "[Sam Sloan's] name-calling is deplorable." - Larry Parr (10 Dec 2004 15:48:46 GMT) _ I am not sure what exactly Larry Parr was reacting to, but here is a sample of what Sam Sloan had been posting: _ "Tim Hanke was fired from his job just a few weeks ago and now says that he want to become Editor of Chess Life. Beatriz Marinello is a notorious lesbian who lives with a woman and has no regular or known source of income and no verifiable job. It seems strange that two people of such questionable backgrounds would be entrusted with such a large amount of money." - Sam Sloan (Fri, 10 Dec 2004 03:23:53 GMT) _ _ Not too long ago, referring to some of his Wikipedia contributions, Sam Sloan posted a challenge: _ "Please provide a statement by me in any of these articles that was not true and cannot be verified" - Sam Sloan (10 Apr 2006 04:11:27 -0700) _ I promptly reminded Sam Sloan about one of his statements: _ "For the past more than 30 years, every time a new book by Keene has come out or a new article by Keene has been published, Edward Winter has written articles attacking it." - Sam Sloan (Fri, 03 Mar 2006 16:46:37 GMT) _ Sam Sloan decided to post a revised version of his challenge: _ "Kindly provide to this group an example of one statement which I posted on Wikipedia and WHICH [RALF CALLENBERG] DELETED which is: 1. Not true and 2. Cannot be verified" - Sam Sloan (10 Apr 2006 08:05:17 -0700) (Emphasis added.) _ (Ralph Callenberg responded on 10 Apr 2006 08:53:23 -0700.) _ _ At Wikipedia, one can find the record of several experiences with Sam Sloan: _ "I do object when [Ralph Callenberg], JoanneB and Janeth, none of whom know anything about chess, try to delete the entire article." - Sam Sloan (16:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)) _ Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Dorsch (The result of the debate was delete. - howcheng 20:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)) _ "I am having a dispute with Howcheng and I request the Arbitration Committee to resolve it." - Sam Sloan _ Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration Sam Sloan against Howcheng regarding Tom Dorsch (soundly rejected - Dmcdevit 06:23, 11 February 2006) _ "The act by Howcheng to delete my Tom Dorsch article was clearly wrong. ...

On that basis alone, I would say that the USCF would be justified to reject any attempt by a third party to pay for a Fischer membership in the USCF." - Louis Blair (Thu, 26 Sep 2002 18:20:10 -0500) _ _ "Sam Sloan wrote: When did he say this? I am not aware of such a statement. _ Put up or shut up, Mr. Blair. I am fairly certain that you just lost this dabate. Time to set up the pieces and try again." - Sam Sloan (Fri, 27 Sep 2002 05:52:01 GMT) _ _ "Fischer indicated his desire to have nothing to do with the USCF in 1992. See Seirawan's book, No Regrets. As for Fischer and standard chess, listen to the Jan 27, 2002 Fischer radio interview." - Louis Blair (Fri, 27 Sep 2002 03:23:04 -0500) _ _ "I have listened to the Jan 27, 2002 Fischer radio interview. I have it in my computer. Fisdcher said nothing about the USCF. Not even one word. He said, 'I don't play the old chess any more, period'. However, he also said that he has spent a lot of time studying the games of Kasparov and Kramnik. _ ... you have not answered the question which started all this. _ You wrote 'Fischer has stated that he does not wish to be a member of USCF'. _ My question was: When did he say this? I am not aware of such a statement. _ Now, answer the question or shut up already." - Sam Sloan (Fri, 27 Sep 2002 18:54:59 GMT) _ _ "I never claimed that Fischer said anything about USCF in [the radio] interview. ... I repeat: See Seirawan's book, No Regrets." - Louis Blair (Fri, 27 Sep 2002 18:31:55 -0500) _ _ "Ok. I admit that I have not read the book. However, it was published in 1992, which is ten years ago. Assuming that the book really contains such a quote, which I doubt, still that would at best reflect Fischer's views ten years ago. That might be entirely different from what Fischer's views are now, a decade later." - Sam Sloan (Sat, 28 Sep 2002 01:51:07 GMT) _ _ "One thing we know about how Fischer has changed since then is that he now says things like, 'I don't play the old chess any more, period'. _ Sam Sloan wrote, 'I can think of 100 people who would pay the $40 so that Fischer be allowed to play chess again.' _ It seems to me that, under the circumstances, USCF would be justified to reject an attempt by a third party to pay for a Fischer membership in the USCF. There would have to be word from Fischer himself that he wanted a membership. Otherwise, he could (as he has in the past) attack the USCF for claiming Fischer as a member when Fischer did not consider himself to be a member." - Louis Blair (Fri, 27 Sep 2002 21:19:41 -0500) _ _ "I doubt that Fischer ever made the statement that you claim he made, at least not in that context." - Sam Sloan (Sun, 29 Sep 2002 03:40:52 GMT) _ _ "Allow me to jump in for Dr. Blair: _ Q.

I haven't been a member of this organization for, I don't know, maybe for about 17 years or something. I have a strict practice not to open Chess Life, since 1976 I haven't looked, haven't touched it. I see the cover, that's it, I never open it. Also, the US Chess Federation even now, I told them I'm not a member of the organization and I have nothing to do with them.

That has been the general contention here - to fairly represent a subject. Indeed it is. As an example of Sloan's fairness, honesty and factual correctness, I would submit his repeated allegations of a USCF Sales "blacklist" and his claim that "Taylor Kingston is involved with USCF Sales and is the perpetrator of the blacklist." As I have repeatedly pointed out to Sam: A) To my knowledge, no such blacklist exists, B) If it does, I have had no part in creating it, and C) I have had no involvment ever with USCF Sales, except for buying the occasional book. What I didn't like is the assumption that this willingness to be corrected is not the case ... So then, when may we expect Sam to justify your faith, and correct and/or retract any or all of his false statements above? When may we expect him to improve his seriously under-researched (a favorite term of yours, Phil) "article" on Hanon Russell, say, by actually contacting Russell himself? If that is the case, then kindly explain why when I look at the chesscafe.com website I see the words "Taylor Kingston & Hanon Russell" prominently displayed at the top. Is this a mistake, or is Hanon Russell deliberately slandering you by publicly associating you with his blacklisting operation? Sam Sloan AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |

NO BIGGIE
You say you were going to vote for him anyway, so no biggie. I tend to think there aren't a whole lot of votes to be had among those reading RGCP anyway. -- Randy Bauer There are veteran insiders and parvenu insiders. I disagree with Randy Bauer, if such were his point, that there are not a large number of USCF voters at rgcp. The issue is how many can be influenced at this point. Character trumps platform any day. -- Randy Bauer I agree that character is important when assessing a candidate, which is why I could never support Randy Bauer, a tax-looter, for USCF office. Sam Sloan's personal character may be spotty, but it appears to me a whole lot cleaner than that of a Bauer or that of an ego-poltroon such as Taylor Kingston. Sam has issued an interesting platform, and he consistently discusses issues rather than personality in spite of the mudslinging by the Messrs. Bauer and Brock. One stands in frank amazement at Sam's restraint in the face of their daily attacks. As in repeating a mantra, Mr. Bauer, who is the lead attack dog for the Executive Board, once again tells us that Sam was convicted of a felony, but he will not say what the "crime" happened to be. Then, he moves on to Sam losing a security license, implying ex omissio that Sam was convicted of bilking someone. Next he tries to turn Sam's loss of a taxi license into a crime of some kind, whereas if one understands the corrupt nature of NYC licensing, it is likely a virtue on Sam's part. Finally, the man speaks of Sam writing tastelessly about sexual exploits, declining to repeat the Brockian mantra about Sam being a child molester -- an interesting omission, though perhaps merely inadvertant. ONCE AGAIN: 1. Sam's felony was to take his own daughter, disobeying a court order. This affair of the heart would not have been in our ever-more encompassing court system two generations back. Any father might have acted the same, including our Mr. Bauer, if God forbid, circumstances ever so dictate -- at which point, we would have Mr. Bauer sanctimoniously announcing that he could never bring himself to vote for a felon such as himself. 2. Sam, who is not a lawyer, argued his securities case before the U.S. Supreme Court AND WON by a 9-0 vote, but to overturn the bureaucratic edict, he would have had to spend many hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal battles for which he did not have the wherewithal. 3. Sam's losing a NYC taxi license is likely a sign of honesty on his part. 4. As for sexual tastelessness, it is all a matter of taste. Sam's revelations violate my sense of the fitting, but so do the priggish harping of our Mr. Bauer and the obsessional repetition of unproven charges by Mr. Brock. If one had to choose between Sam's lapses and the practices of Bauer-Brock, I would take Sam's any day. |

DIRTY DIAPERS
The Sam Sloan diaper episode was one of the early attacks on Sam Sloan, conducted by Stan Booz (Beatriz Marinello's right hand man) who was heading up the smear campaign two elections back. Then came Bill Brock. And now, for this election, Randy Bauer is the point man for the Executive Board. He hopes to get rewarded by the insiders in case he decides to run again after losing the last election. The charge was that Sam did a poor job at changing a dirty diaper. There may be a father somewhere who does pristine work in this department. I was not one of them, but perhaps Randy Bauer will pronounce himself proficient. |

One stands in frank amazement at Sam's restraint in the face of their daily attacks. "Editor" liarry must have those funhouse mirrors in his home ... you know, the ones which distorts all images ... where big looks small, fat looks thin, etc. Right now his mirror has sloan showing restraint?

A GOOD TASK FOR LOUIE
Oh boy! Louis Blair is going to have a field day refuting that last whopper. Pick a month ... any month ... and one can easily find hundreds (if not thousands) of mud-slinging from sloan. Mr. No Name And how many of those posts are from the fake Sam Sloan? Speaking of our friend Louie, if he wants evidence of what Winter wrote about Kasparov ghosting BCO why doesn't he accept GM Keene's offer to mail or fax him the Winter material in full instead of repeating the same rants over and over? |

The charge was that Sam did a poor job at changing a dirty diaper. _ I do not think that that accurately describes the charge. I was not there and can not say whether or not the charge is justified, but rec.games.chess.politics readers got a chance to see what the charge was: _ VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV From: "Tim Hanke" Newsgroups: rec.games.chess.politics Subject: Crossville, TN Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2003 17:02:27 GMT _ Jim, _ When Sam Sloan was lying about other people, I couldn't always know what was true. _ When Sloan started lying about me, it became obvious to me that he was lying, because I had personal knowledge of the truth. _ This is why he is so dangerous: Sloan lies about everything, usually to try to make other people look bad, but in each case, only a few people will actually know he is lying. Everybody else in the audience will have to guess. _ After Sloan caused an embarrassing scene at this past weekend's board meeting, the board members discussed what we should do in cases like this. We decided we wouldn't allow this kind of outrageous behavior in the future. At future board meetings and delegates meetings, if Sloan shows up and starts spouting off with his personal attacks as he did this past weekend, we will just cut him off, and if necessary have him removed from the room. There is no place for inappropriate behavior like that at our meetings. _ Personally I felt bad for the audience. This past weekend we were in a very small room, and Sloan's daughter had a very full diaper. Sloan of course didn't care, but everyone in the audience had to put up with the smell. When our COO Grant Perks tried to pick her up, she actually peed on his hand and Grant had to go to the bathroom to wash up. _ Even after Sloan was publicly asked to change his daughter's smelly diaper, he stood around with a vacant look on his face for several minutes, doing nothing. Possibly he was rehearsing his crazy rant in his mind, which fortunately for everyone he did not get the opportunity to deliver in full. _ Finally he changed his daughter's diaper, but rather than taking her into the bathroom or somewhere more private, he changed her diaper in the midst of the tightly packed audience, so they had to watch and smell the proceedings. Then he put the dirty diaper in the wastebasket in our small meeting room, rather than taking it into the bathroom. _ Sloan then stood there with his unwashed hands for the rest of the meeting, and probably proceeded to shake hands with people afterward. Now that I have a good idea of his personal hygiene, I will be sure never to shake his hand. _ Tim Hanke AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |

I have no interest in seeing quotes of praising of BCO. If GM Keene DID offer to send the recently posted "role of kasparov", "my doubts", and "exaggerated use" quotes, we could probably arrange for me to examine them and express an opinion about whether or not the omitted context makes a significant difference with regard to the apparent meaning, but it must be understood that that still would not settle a central question. _ "Does GM Keene contend that these quotes can be fairly described as a 'claim' 'that kasparov's contribution to bco batsford chess openings was ghosted'?" - Louis Blair (27 Apr 2006 22:33:03 -0700) _ GM Keene does not seem to want to answer. For that matter, Larry Parr also does not seem to be eager to say whether or not he thinks these latest quotes can be fairly described as a "claim" "that kasparov's contribution to bco batsford chess openings was ghosted". |
