I have been suspended from posting to uschess.org/forums
Mike Nolan has sent me notification that I have been suspended for one
week from posting to the USCF Forums.
This in itself is not surprising. Susan Polgar and Paul Truong have
been demanding for the longest time that I be banned from posting to
the forums. Also, Joel Channing has been bombastically demanding that
the moderator and the board adopt guidelines under which a poster can
be banned. It has been obvious from the beginning that Joel Channing
has been pressing for this so that I would be banned from posting.
There is, however, a legal question as to whether a certified candidate
for election can be banned or suspended from the forums.
Another issue is the demand by Joel Channing that the USCF take out
Internet Insurance. Channing has implied that the USCF needs Internet
Insurance to protect the USCF in case I file a lawsuit. However, there
is a darker motivation. Channing is in the habit of filing lawsuits for
libel any time anybody says anything bad about Channing. Channing is
the only USCF member who has displayed a tendency to file this sort of
suit. Therefore, it seems apparent that the real purpose to this
Internet insurance is that if anybody says anything bad about Channing
on the USCF Forums, Channing will be able to sue the USCF and collect
on this insurance.
I was the only board member who voted against this paying for this type
of Insurance.
The fact that I have been suspended is not surprising.
What is surprising is the reason: Mike Nolan wrote that he suspended me
because I had posted confidential information on the forums on January
2. In addition, the suspension was for one week because this was my
second violation, the first being back in June, 2006 when I solicited
for funds to addend the FIDE Congress in Turin, Italy. These were
violations of Acceptable Usage Guidelines adopted on January 3, 2007,
according to Mike Nolan. So, the new guidelines were applied
retroactively.
The confidential information I supposedly posted was not information at
all but was actually a question I asked of Sevan Muradian, who was
soliciting funds to send a womans chess team to a new competition in
Ekaterinburg, Russia. It seems to be lost on Mike Nolan that actually
Sevan Muradian was soliciting funds and yet he was not suspended. Also,
Susan Polgar yesterday solicited funds in another matter, and she was
not suspended either.

I was elected to get rid of the enemies. Tanner, Erik Anderson and AF4C
are gone. Next will be Goichberg and Channing. Dubeck and inello
want me to stop Polger from being elected. Those are my next
priorities.

Post subject: Sloan/inello Suspensions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Executive Board has voted 4-1-1 to lift the posting rights
suspension of Sam Sloan, effective immediately, and to
rescind the suspension of Beatriz inello, which had been
stayed pending appeal.
(inello abstained, Sloan voted against the motion.)
My understanding is that this also wipes the slate clean in
terms of past infractions on both Sloan and inello.
The text of the motion, as provided by Bill Goichberg is:
We drop the charges of violation of confidentiality against
Beatriz, reduce Sam's suspension so that it ends now,
wipe the record clean, and work on updating the rules as
they refer to confidentiality based on what has occurred.
**802**

Don't those idiots have anything more important to do? How about working on
making chess more popular? Promoting the game across the US at schools,
colleges, community centers, etc??

AF4C is out! Sevan Muradian from Chicago is the new sponsor of the US
Championship! You heard it from me first!

This idiot Sevan is bidding for the US Women's Championship. I don't
trust him because he has too much money. I want to see him banned for
life for kicking me off the forum. He can join Erik Anderson in
Starbucks.

This idiot Sevan is bidding for the US Women's Championship. I don't
trust him because he has too much money. I want to see him banned for
life for kicking me off the forum. He can join Erik Anderson in
Starbucks.

The posting by Sevan Muradian clearly was a solicitation for funds.
Here is, in part, what he wrote:
posted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 11:24 pm
There was no tone used Mike. I asked a question. Maybe some USCF member
will see the posting, see that the USCF said we don't have it in budget
and open up their personal check book and finance the team. If I did it
through an email others wouldn't know about it.
