Polgar Alleges EB Threats Against Her Children

I
am completely disgusted with how some of my fellow board members have
behaved. This is quite an eye opening experience. They and their friends
tried to destroy my personal and professional reputation. They tried to
make
me lose my job. They threatened my family and me before, during and after
the election. And the worst is they even tried to use my children as pawns
to "convince" me to quit. How sick is that?" [emphasis added]

If Ms. Polgar is serious that EB members have threatened her and her
children I would expect the following from her:

1. That she will have contacted the police in Lubbock, TX to inform them
of
the facts in her possession and arrange for her children to be protected.

2. If she can not substantiate these allegations she will be the subject
of
a recall petition. I have spoken with Donna Alarie and we are in full
agreement on this point.

3. By her allegations, she has effectively alleged that the 2007 USCF EB
election was fraudulently conducted. Several USCF members are considering
contacting the Illinois Attorney General to ascertain what the AG might be
able to do in this situation.

Some of you may recall that Mr. Truong sent an email behind my back to a
member of the USCF
FOC implying that I was making threats against Polgar and her children. My
attorney answered that with a letter threatening a defamation action
against
him. Polgar and Truong need to be separated from any and all USCF
activity.

Mr. Lafferty,

Post is pulled for "suggestions without specifically identified substantial
proof" of
They threatened my family and me before, during and after the election.


We've said it before -- just because you're quoting somebody doesn't mean
you're not responsible for the words in your post. Susan Polgar has NOT
identified any evidence that other board members threatened her family.
Neither have you. That being the case, I'm pulling the post until and unless
such "substantial proof" is identified.

This post is currently under discussion (and it may actually be restored).
The quote I identified is NOT the only part of the post that is being
examined. You'll be notified when a decision is made.

I wonder how many more "Final Statements" we are going to see from Ms.
Polgar...
