NY Times Response to current affairs by Chess One
It look like the NY Times have responded to my challenge to their reporting of the issue - and it is a candid response, stating their pro-forma obligations, editorial invigilation, etc. I encouraged their reporter and editors to keep at it, and keep an open mind, since those are consequent virtues.

Impact of the Fake Sam Sloan Questioned by samsloan
That ignores a few facts the most important of which is that although I was not elected several times, I was several times the next one down in number of votes so that in a race where the top two were elected I finished third. Also, Bill Goichberg campaigned against me in every election. Had Goichberg merely stayed neutral and been neither for nor against me, I would have been elected several of...

Truong Busted Again -- Same Crime, Different Forum by ChessterMolesster@gmail.com
http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt/2007/10/slime_spillover.htm And in case you think you are posting anonymously here, you aren't. Surfing is one thing, posting is quite another. I never go to the trouble, but this system won't even allow you to post without taking in far more data than anyone would ever need to identify the source.

Postings disrespectful of Grandmaster Alexandra Kosteniuk by samsloan
Postings disrespectful of Grandmaster Alexandra Kosteniuk With regard to my recent lawsuit against Truong and Polgar, I have received an inquiry as to whether persistent attacks on Grandmaster Alexandra Kosteniuk could possibly have arisen from Polgar or Truong. Frankly, I had been unaware that anybody had been attacking Grandmaster Kosteniuk and for that reason I had never thought about the...

Admiration for Sam Sloan by ChessterMolesster@gmail.com
I must say, one quality I admire in Sam Sloan is that of restraint. Restraint ?! How can you say restraint? Allow me to explain. Imagine that some greedy ****s libeled and impersonated you every day, calling you a child molester, and generally getting on your last nerve.

The Mottershead Report by parrthenon@cs.com
WHAT WILL HAPPEN? For the record, Larry, my little vignette was designed primarily to dramatize the rationalization and weaseling of those who seek to ignore, discredit or discount Mottershead's information BEFORE it has been evaluated by one or more independent credentialed experts. Our Experts should then forward their findings to those qualified to weigh the electronic evidence against other...

Blast from Past by Chess One
Sam Sloan posted this on his 'own' newsgroup - which is quite brave of him, considering the content -- These fake postings have been happening for years, back to when I was active on RGCP. At the time I (and many others) did a great deal of analysis and it seemed nearly 100% at the time that this poster seemed to be shadowing Mr. Truong. I always had cordial relationships with Paul, so I was...

Whereabouts of J C Polk- Chessplayer by ascachess@aol.com
I had a friend who was a chessplayer named J C Polk. He was originally from Texas but went to Arizona State where he played football for Frank Kush. I met JC when he was a graduate student in Journalism at USC. He went on to Notre Dame law school before returning to California where he authored the law on legal rights for the homeless. JC's life took some wrong turns and he ended up homeless...

At the time I (and many others) did a great deal of analysis and it seemed nearly 100% at the time that this poster seemed to be shadowing Mr. Truong. I always had cordial relationships with Paul, so I was quite a bit baffled that it was possible he was being very kind to me and then at some point slaying me...

USCF to Hire Lawyer Concerning Sloan's posting of 3 Pictures by Paul Truong by parrthenon@cs.com
SAM HAS A POINT Sam makes a very strong point: he certainly has a right, if he is willing to pay, to tapes of the Board meetings. Some of you out there who are on Sam's side in this current battle will eventually gain if you support him in this endeavour. One has to pry open the minutes even of public meetings when dealing with these characters and their cronies.

How Stupid Is Mottershead? by B. Lafferty[_2_]
Not very. Will Polgar and Truong want their web logs examined in a legal action? Unlikely. Will they voluntarily share them? Unlikely.
