Subject: I will stop Polgar from getting elected to the EB
I'll do anything to stop Polgar from getting elected. This bitch is not
going to stop my dream of getting re-elected for the executive board. I
want 4 more years. I'll take her down. I'll do whatever it takes. Her
idea of getting non-chess politicians to run for the EB is stupid.
It'll never work. The USCF needs chess politicians like me. Vote for
me! 4 more years! 4 more years!

Of course, you can provide PROOF of these "free ads," right, Sloan?

RIGHT??


<silence >


Of course he can't. Because it is yet another bald-faced LIE.

Voters, take note.

The above is another Fake Sam Sloan post.

I am not trying to stop Polgar from being elected. She will be elected,
regardless of whether I or anybody else tries to stop her.

I will ask that her free ads in Chess Life magazine be stopped.
Everybody else but Polgar has to pay for ads in Chess Life. In the
December, 2006 issue, she has free ads on pages 79, 69, 68 and 46, plus
there is an interview, picture and ad of her on pages 44-45. Her
regular column, for which she is paid, is on pages 12-13.

This should all be stopped, now that she is a candidate for election.

Why?

Unlike other chessplayers she is a former World Champion so doesn't
she get a little slack. Doesn't it make you upset that other women
chessplayers who aren't even in her league get more attention? More
breaks etc, etc.

Oh yeah? What if Gata put an ad in the Magazine. I bet you wouldn't
get upset. Right now Gata is one of the top players in the world
already and if he got a shot at the title he would have a good chance
to win it. If Gata got some support from putting a free ad in the
magazine then why not?

No. As a former World Champion, Chess Life columnist, etc., she is
expected to be aware of the rules of the game and the traditions of the
organization.

Newbies like Joel Channing were cut some slack because they were so
obviously ignorant of context and had to be allowed some time to come up
to speed. Sock puppets are to be pitied and coddled. Some grew up and
become independent, repected voices. Some have not.

As for your comments about being a woman...I submit that "cutting her
some slack" on that score simply opens the door to allowing fellow EB
members to ignore her once she is elected. Why pay attention to someone
who needed "slack" to be admitted to the club?

Perhaps more than anyone else, GM Polgar knows the value of entering the
contest on an even basis, and asking for no special dispensation.

I trust she is aware of previous GM members of the (then) Policy Board
who sometimes gave off the attitude "I'm a GM, you have to listen to
me". That approach has always failed miserably - and with good reason.

So why was Joel Channing cut some slack? Polgar isn't a sock puppet.
The Pogar's are known around the chess world. There voice is
definitely independent and well respected.

Who said she needed it?

She probably does.

She hasn't even been elected to the board and already your judging her
attitude. I know that previous GM's were pretty arrogant but at least
give her a chance before we start throwing stones. I for one was
totally not a supporter of Sam Sloam being elected but he hasn't shown
things that people were afraid of. While some who were elected in
high regard turned out to be total morons.

No one said she was.

Where did I do that? What part of "I trust..." do you not understand?
