Mr. Sawmiller apparently pulled my post on the USCF forum announcing the
expected written expert's report confirming Truong as the FSS. Here's a fun
PM exchange vwith Rambo.

Garbage? Hmmm. I'll be pretty much doing a Stephen Jones. This forum has
been killed by you and Mr. Hall. And, of course, you've just been following
orders. Sieg Heil!

Now EB, what ya gonna do?

And your ED doesn't want the membership to read about it here. The
following email was received from "The Management."

Hello Brian Lafferty,

You are receiving this notification because your topic "Expert's Written
Report Due December 10, 2007" at "uschess.org" was disapproved by a
moderator or administrator.
The following reason was given for the disapproval:
Violates Mr. Hall's directive.

-- Thanks, The Management

You can read all about it from now on over at rgcp. F**K YOU management.
The real war has only just now begun.

Tim Sawmiller has also removed my articles which are also posted here
entitled:

Randy Hough on "The Fantasy US Championship"

and

"New Book Just Out: Elista Diaries"

His point is that the moderators to this forum tended to suspend
anyone who seemed to agree in some way, however minor, with what Sam
Sloan wrote.

For that reason, anybody who wanted to write something in agreement
with Sam Sloan had to state that he was opposed to Sam Sloan and was
not voting for him.

Oldtimer himself was suspended for agreeing to some extent with Sam
Sloan and for that reason was not here for a long time and now has to
make convoluted statements like the one above in order not to incur
the wrath of the USCF Board of Censors.

Sam Sloan

Since you are on the censorship board now, you can go back and read
oldtimer's pulled posts which are in the so-called graveyard.

Oldtimer rarely said anything about anybody at all, much less anything
negative about anybody.

Yet, during the election campaign period, his posts were frequently
pulled simply because he agreed with me. Finally, he was suspended.

Sam Sloan

I'm sorry to hear that the censorship on the USCF forum is still alive
and well. The membership certainly has a right to know about the
Mottershead report and about any expert analysis thereon undertaken by
or for the USCF. They also have the unalienable right to discuss it -
apparently anywhere except on the USCF forum, which is exactly where
it should be discussed.

I am not sure if I like to be known under the phrase, "doing a Stephen
Jones," but no snot-nosed Nazi is going to tell me what I can think
and say. It is a shame that there are those persons in this world who
believe they have the right to dictate other persons' thoughts and the
topics which other persons may discuss. I include in this
condemnation not only the censors themselves, but the executive board
which has given them permission and directions to censor the forum.
It is not the censors' forum and it is not the executive board's
forum. It is the members' forum.

I think all of this stems from the secrecy under which the USCF and
the executive board has historically acted. That secrecy has to go.
It is not the way things are done in America. Hello, executive board,
is anyone listening? The members have the right to know what is going
on and to freely discuss what is going on. And I personally will not
participate on any platform in which such freedom is denied.
