However, I do not believe that a person can say "I am resigning from the
board" and then claim the next day that this was just an April Fools Joke.

Then you are disagreeable. And we need some way

Irrelevant analogies.

In comments on the NY Times webpage, Sam Sloan said:

3. April 2nd, 2008
"Turns out that it was an April Fools Joke, as I suspected..."


Sloan "suspected" all along that it might be a joke, establishing
that Sloan understands different rules apply for Chess & Life.

Additionally:
"There has never been a firm denial, under oath
by affidavit, that Paul Truong was the Fake Sam Sloan,
nor have they revealed the evidence they claim they
hold that Truong did not do it. Instead, they demand
the right to go on a vast fishing through more than 2,000
pages of data files, hoping to be able to claim to have
found some discrepancy that casts doubt on their guilt.
The board has every right to refuse this request, when
they have utterly failed to cooperate in any way with
the board’s investigation or the assigned counsel’s
investigations into the facts." ( Sam Sloan )


If they had started their fishing expedition last November then
we would be done by now. The entire USCF board needs to
be replaced. All of them. I will appoint myself USCF director
and assign everybody their individual sanitary stations where
they may poop and flush to their heart's desires. Of course my
statements on newsgroups, blogs or offical looking webpages
in no way establishes that I should be the actual USCF director.
Sloan's credence in webpages disconnected his own websites.


In another comment, added to the NY Times weblog, Sloan
admits that there is a "legal question", not a definite answer:

5. April 3rd, 2008
"Legal Question: Can She Take Back Her Resignation?"


Personally, I apply a policy never to conduct business on
April 1. Nevertheless, business transactions, banking and
contracts are legally enforceable even if made on April 1.
Yet, because I do not myself conduct business on April 1
then I will expect all others who conduct business with me
to reaffirm all April 1 agreements on a subsequent day.

Susan Polgar could just as well claim to have three boobs
but such claim would not in fact make this true, even if not
on April 1st.


Addressing some extraneous remarks by the "egads flies" -
Events in the Chess and Go World are certainly ON TOPIC
to these newsgroups. Go Players also need to WAKE UP
to the cautionary tales occurring at USCF. A lot of money,
a lot of high-power Chess talent, a lot of hero-worship for a
pair of boobs, a lot of ego, were adding up to management
problems at USCF. Throw in the propensity to reference a
Chess (Go) rating when attempting to garner some political
credibility. Instead it should have been the opposite: the
people with high gaming ratings have sacrificed knowledge
of common good sense. While pursuing Chess (or Go)
they neglected their skills at sound real-life judgment. The
"competitive edge" resulted in corrosive work environments
which pushed away others who might have insulated those
factions. The US Declaration of Independence mentions
a periodic need to dissolve the bonds of government when
people no longer consent to be governed by them. Such
precepts could be applied to gaming organizations as well.
The newer organization would prohibit anyone with a high
rating from occupying a position on the governing council.
A requirement would be open books transparent finances.

On the other hand, remarks from the "egads flies" are NOT
on topic to these newsgroups. The fact of this needs more
reinforcement by repeated reminding. Certain individuals
contribute nothing: i.e. JustAnotherHomoSapiensSapiens,
and bantari. Obviously they are prime candidates for USCF.
