I have noticed a strong trend towards attacking Joel Channing on
chessdiscussion.com This is significant because chessdiscussion.com is
heavily moderated and nothing can appear there without permission of
Polgar and truong.

For example, a lot of the financial decisions made by Joel Channing
have been criticized there.

Today an attack by "Tennessee Vols" appeared on the site. This is
because Channing put into the BINFOS an article entitled "Chinese
Kidnapper".

Tennessee Vols says that the article "Chinese Kidnapper" is a racist
attack by Channing on Paul Truong, since Truong is Vietnamese.

Until now, Channing has been the strongest supporter for the Trollgars
on the board. Are relations between them deteriorating? Will there be
open warfare soon?

Take a look at
http://www.chessdiscussion.com/phpBB....php?f=4&t=942

There are two issues here. One is the fact that this and several other
attacks on Channing have recently been allowed to appear on
chessdiscussion.com That forum is heavily moderated and until
recently Channing was the biggest supporter of Polgar and Truong.

The other is the poor judgment by Joel Channing in posting in the
OFFICIAL USCF BINFOS six pictures of a kidnapper being shot and killed
in China. His remarks are clearly racist (but I do not believe that
they were directed at Truong). Joel Channing is obviously losing it
and it really is time for him to resign. No organization would want to
see remarks like his by one of its leaders.
