Why I'm voting for Sam

For decades the USCF has fostered a culture of secrecy.

I am voting for Sam Sloan despite his faults because he has
the instincts of an investigative journalist and can't keep secrets.

With him on the board, at least we won't be kept in the dark.
And when he's wrong about something, the other board members
will be forced to tell us why he's wrong.

Either way, we win.

The USCF doesn't "win" by electing ex-felons who have had their
securities license revoked because of their "conduct." The guy
couldn't even keep his cab license. Even the Libertarian Party is
smart enough to keep him off the ballot. There is nothing to be gained
by putting a flake of this magnitude in a position of responsibility.

That may be true about the felonies. However, after seeing the number of
questionable decisions made by the board in the past few years and the way
they were made makes me think that electing Sam Sloan isn't such a bad idea
after all.

I also recall that once upon a time, it was thought that bloodletting
was good medicine.

I know many competent CEOs and CFOs. I seriously doubt that any of
them would find the prospect of a Sam Sloan serving on the Board of
Directors as anything but a bad idea.

SAM SLOAN'S "FELONY"

No surprise at the usual litany chanted against
Sam Sloan, this time by Randy Bauer who managed
to exclude one of Sam's statements from Chess Life
during the last election.
.
Mr. Sloan, we are told, is an ex-felon (he was
involved in a family matter, taking his daughter
against court order). Mr. Sloan is a felon in the
same sense that someone arrested by the Soviet regime
is a felon arrested for, say, violating his residency
restrictions and seeking proximity to former family
members. Sam's "felony" would not have been a matter
for the courts or government a couple of generations back.

As for Sam failing to keep a cab license in New
York City of all places, that can be registered on his
side of the ledger. For a bureaucrat such as Mr.
Bauer, it is Sam who is to blame.

One should note that in spite of Mr. Bauer's
attempt at smear-by-proximity, Sam's "felony" had
nothing to do with securities (he won his court case
there). It had to do, as noted above, with taking his
own child against a court order.

Sam would be tonic on the USCF Executive Board,
which exudes secrecy, if such be possible. We need
transparency, and although the other Board members
would do their best to cut Sam out of deliberations, he
would have the law on his side in most instances. We
would learn a lot more about what is currently going on
because, as jr pointed out, Sam can't keep secrets.

See BEHIND CLOSED DOORS at WCN where GM
Lev Alburt tells about his experiences on the board.

RANDY BAUER'S SMEAR CAMPAIGN

<The USCF doesn't "win" by electing ex-felons who have had their

securities license revoked because of their "conduct."> -- Randy Bauer

One should note that in spite of this smear, Sam's "felony"
was a domestic matter. It had nothing to do with the securities
charge when Sam owned a company dealing with stocks.

Sam, who is not a lawyer, argued his own case before the
Supreme Court AND WON. How many people have done that?

And so it goes.

No doubt Sam Sloan is better than majority of his critics here. Several of
his critics are just morons who accuse him of felony, however they will
never go to the court because they only want to defame Sam and they know
that they would lose there.

So your argument is that you know some qualified people who would think that
Sam's election to the Board would be a bad idea?

Not very convincing, in my book. Sort of like the argument used to justify
the move, which is something I'm still confused about.

When confronted with facts, Liarry's typical defense is go on the
offense with lies. It is a lie, perhaps libelous, to suggest that I


"managed to exclude one of Sam's statements from Chess Life during the
last election."

As a single member of the Executive Board, I had no such authority.
Further, Don Schultz has explained, on numerous occasions -- including
on this newsgroup -- that he, in his position as Secretary, made the
decision to exclude Sloan's statement from Chess Life. The following
is from Don Schultz' post on April 12, 2005:

"I took the position and announced well in advance that a candidate's
statement would not be accepted after the 10th of the month unless it
did not interfere with the CL schedule or burden the staff with extra
work.

Glenn and I saw Sam at the Amateur Team East and told him that he was
already 10 or 11 days late and if he didn?t immediately get his
statement to Glenn, then it would not appear in the April issue.
Although Sam was late in getting his submission in based on the
arbitrary date I set, it still had a chance if it met the second
criteria of not causing a delay in the publishing of Chess Life or
putting a burden on staff. Sam did just that. He wrote the statement (I

believe in pen rather than on a computer) and gave it to Glenn. Later,
Glenn came to me and said that Sam had used in his statement an
argument against the team of four. The team of four had not been
announced until well after the announced cutoff date of the 10th and
Sam in effect would have gained an advantage by knowing about it and
using it simply because his submission missed the initial deadline.

Glenn pointed out that other candidates should have a right to answer
those points. I agreed with him. Since there was no question that any
attempt to get comments from other Board members would cause a delay in

publishing Chess Life and cause extra work by staff, I told Glenn not
to include Sam's statement."

Now, we can expect two things from our Liarry. First, he will write
pages and pages to obfuscate the issue -- even though my political
opponent, Don Schultz clearly and unequivocably states it was HIS
decision to not run Sloan's statement. Second, he will engage in
linguistic gymnastics that would make a Nadia or a Mary Lou proud.
Liarry is a gold medalist when it comes to contorted meaning that suits
his purpose.

Yes, child-stealing has a long and proud history in SloanParr land. I
suppose Sloan was whisking her away for a fun-filled weekend sleeping
under the tables in the playing hall of a chess tournament.

A typical Parr tactic - shift to some silly "smear-by-proximity"
defense. Parr prefers just the outright smear -- it's so much more
convenient.

Note Parr doesn't answer the charge -- did Sloan, whose "candidates
statement" professes a long and illustrious career in the securities
industry -- have his license yanked by the authorities?

Parr would have our Sam, known to sleep under tables at chess
tournaments and at homeless shelters, a convicted felon whose
securities license was yanked be a "tonic" for the USCF. Parr's
favorite drink must be hemlock and tonic.

Exactly how do you "defame" someone by speaking the truth about them?
Sam Sloan was, indeed, convicted of a felony and served prison time.
Sam Sloan did, indeed, have his securities license yanked by the
authorities. We don't need to go to court, these things are already a
matter of public record.

Things must be done differently in your part of the world.

One wonders if our resident apologist for Sloan would feel differently
if he were the person from whom the child was snatched.

Meanwhile, Parr conveniently evades the charge that Sloan had his
securities license yanked. I'm sure Parr will now tell us it was the
"bureaucrats" who took it away and that Sloan is a paragon of financial
virtue. How about it Parr, are you using Sloan for investing you book
royalties?

Calling Sam a child molester, accusing him of crimes he never committed
etc. is a moronish way of defaming Sam. On the other hand you are a bit
"smarter" than e.g. moronish Bill Brock. You only want to defame Sam by
accusing him of deeds that are no obstacle in any civilised country to be
elected to any chess federation. I bet that it`s no obstacle in the USA.

I'll libel you too. Were you the individual who raised the issue before the
USCF Executive Board? Was the Sloan article excluded as a direct result of
that action?

During THIS election, would you wish to make clear your own statement about
this felony issue? Again YOU have raised it, and associated a list of items
in connecting sentences? Did you wish to concur with Larry Parr on the
subject of the felony - or, since you discuss libel, are you accusing the
subject of being a felon for something else?

As you note below in your 'pages and pages' comment, there are those who
would obfusticate the issues.

Let us not do that - agree?

No, I did not. I raised the issue of how this issue IN THE FUTURE
should be decided. I sponsored a motion that established a framework
for THE BOARD AS A WHOLE, not the Secretary alone, to decide. It also
established a mechanism to allow somebody excluded to appeal that
decision.

No. Don Schultz decided -- can't you read? I quoted his post to this

What did I write that was inaccurate? Sloan is a convicted felon who
served prison time, Sloan had his securities license yanked, Sloan lost
his license to drive a cab. The one who doesn't tell the whole story
is Sloan, the securities wizard, who fails to mention he is no longer
able to work in that industry.

I have been a life member of the USCF for over 30 years, and I am
raising these issues in that capacity. Each member of the Board has
some fiduciary responsibility, and I believe the voters should be aware
of Sloan's troubled history.

I am raising the same issues about Sloan as in past campaigns. My
views on him have not changed. He is not suited to serve on an
executive board of a national organization.

Rather than Sloan, people like Joel Channing are the type we need to
attract and elect to serve on the Executive Board. He has been a
successful businessman and is willing to dedicate his time, talent, and
money to the USCF. In short, he is everything that Sam Sloan is not.

Dear Randy,

I agree with you that we need more Joel Channings, but I don't
see any Joel Channings among these five candidates.

I'm still hoping to see your match against Evans.

And I'm still voting for Sam. This board needs a maverick and
nobody can deny that he is knowledgeable about the issues.
BTW he goes back further than your paltry 30 years in the USCF.

Dear jr,

I would respectfully submit that we are less likely to attract the Joel
Channings when we elect something approaching their antithesis to the
Board. Sloan's background, at least if it is conveyed in its entirety,
will not impress them. It may also reduce their confidence in the USCF
voting membership.

I think it would be great fun, but I suspect that it just isn't

I am not "accusing" Sloan of things, I am stating facts - he is a
convicted felon who served prison time, had his securities license
yanked, and no longer has a license to drive a taxi.

Personally, I'm not planning on voting for any candidates for the Board
who are convicted felons; I wouldn't care if it was felony theft,
vehicular manslaughter, kidnapping, or a domestic crime.

It is notable that Sloan has run for this and other offices on numerous
occasions. To date, he has lost in every election for the USCF
executive board and public offices. Perhaps you don't feel his "deeds
are no obstacle in any civilised country" but it appears the majority
of voters feel otherwise.

Sloan, Parr and their gang hate to deal with unpleasant facts ... that's why

The NY Mets had a pitcher circa 1992 named Anthony Young, whose
claim to fame is losing 29 consectutive games. Sound like a ton of losses,
until one realizes all the elections Sloan lost. If Sloan hasn't bested Young's
record, he ought to soon.

In direct language - are you answering my first question above "Were you the

Wait! You are reacting to what I wrote, rather than answering them as
questions. You wrote a list of things and associated the word felon with
them. Do you wish to restrict that to a precise matter, or spread it about
like dung?

Are you concerned if the securities licence was 'yanked' with any justice?
Or did a court decide there was none?

How about answering what I wrote above instead of repeating very insinuating
messages of wrong doing? Is that fair, or what do you think you are about?

Okay - So lets accuse Sloan on his crimes. What do you understand they are
as decided by people competent to say so?

Having done that, did you have other comments to make on another basis?

I think I know why he went to jail. Why was his securitues licensed pulled?
Why was his taxi license pulled?

Was it due to acts of dishonesty or merely administrative issues?

Randy, in one your posts you say that Don Schultz, who was
your political opponent, was the person who made the final
decision not to publish Sam Sloan's statement in Chess Life.

What do you mean by "political opponent"?

When you both served on the same board together, what were
some of the issues on which you both disagreed?

What was the outcome on these issues when they came to a vote?

Although I differ with you on several matters, including the value
of having Sam on the board, I do want to commend you for being

THE LETTER OF THE LAW

Joel Channing has a rightful place on the
Executive Board, given his talents. Sam's talents are
distinct from those of Mr. Channing. He thinks and
writes more than Joel; he is a voice and a conscience.

I did a certain amount along the way to rid the
Federation of Randy Bauer, who currently hangs on in
the committees. Mr. Bauer is now licking derrieres,
and we may see him back on the board one of these years.

Sam can be relied upon to tell us what is
actually happening within the power structure. He
complements the talents of a Channing.

Randy Bauer tosses up the usual strawman.

No one is arguing that Sam Sloan did not violate
a regulation with regard to his candidate's statement.
Under the letter of the law, which got applied to
Sam, his statement was barred from the magazine.

Mr. Bauer himself wrote here on this forum that
he was tired of bending rules and that regulations
AS WRITTEN had to be followed.

Ah ... except for himself.

Mr. Bauer's candidate's fee was NOT sent to the
secretary as provided under the WRITTEN rules. He
sent it to the office, which was deputized -- quite
reasonably so -- to act for the secretary. His fee
came to the secretary LATE.

We have no doubt that Mr. Bauer acted in good
faith; we equally have no doubt that he violated the
letter of the rules AS WRITTEN. So did Sam Sloan:
he, too, acted in good faith, and he mucked up the
rules AS WRITTEN.

One standard for Sam: the cruel but just rule of
law. One standard for our Mr. Bauer: reasoned
understanding of his good intentions when faithfully
following directions as published in Chess Life.

The hypocrisy wafts even in the e-ether.

Mr. Bauer has been deputized to be the creature
attacking Mr. Sloan in this election. Next election,
the powers that be will select another creature to
pass around the task of spreading the ordure.

Who says the establisment is "pulling out all the stops" to keep Sloan from
getting elected? What does "pulling out all the stops" in an election mean
to you?

Sloan comes here and slanders, smears, and tells outright lies resulting
in people correcting his slanders, smears and outright lies. Is that your
definition of "pulling out all the stops?" You know, if you quit talking
out of your asshole people on this forum might just take you seriously.

And btw, not only am I definitely not voting for Sloan, but I'm inclined
to vote for whoever he opposes the most. So put that in your pipe and
smoke it.

Don was supporting the slate of Goichberg-Channing-Tanner-Shahade, although
Shahade indicated that he was not part of a slate. In the end, that group
was elected. I was part of a mostly-incumbant slate including Shutt,
Shaughnessey and George John.


>

Actually, I think we agreed as much as we disagreed. We agreed, for
example, on a motion to delay a decision on the move of the headquarters to
Crossville, on reinstatement of the BINFO system, and on the choice for
Executive Director of the USCF. We disagreed on the implementation of the
move to Crossville; I believed that once the Board had made that decision,
we needed to move on and implement it as well as possible, and I supported
Beatriz stepping into the role of project manager for the move when there
seemed to be no other viable alternative. We also disagreed on the motion I
made to establish a written process and an exception policy involving the
Board as a whole rather than just the Secretary ruling on election issues.


>
> What was the outcome on these issues when they came to a vote?

We both lost on Crossville, both lost on the Executive Director (although I
think Bill Hall is doing a decent job under often trying circumstances).
I'm not sure the status of BINFO, I won on the Board as a whole setting
electoral policy (and, I would note, Harold Winston, who also supported the
other electoral slate and is an attorney, believed my motion to be within
the power of the Executive Board), and I won on Beatriz overseeing the move
to Crossville (which, by the way, did not bankrupt the USCF and was done way
under the claimed costs of others. I think Don even admitted that Beatriz
had done a very good job in that respect). Of course, Don won on the
election.

Please note that my motion had no impact on Sloan, and, in fact, there were
no situations where the Board had to rule on any exceptions issues in the
last election. I publicly stated that had any such issues come before the
Board, I would recuse myself.

Thank you. In the past and present, Bill Goichberg, Don Schultz, and Joel
Channing have also frequented this forum. While I understand that they may
prefer the USCF forum, there is a value to addressing issues here as well.

The preceding smear by "editor" Liarry has already been refuted and
debunked on this forum on more than one occasion. Yet, Parr keeps
repeating it as if it was fresh news. If the powers that be protest, then
"editor" Liarry will claim they protest too much. If they are silent, then
"editor" Liarry will claim the silence is deafening. So, it's heads I win, tails
you lose.

The reulars on rgcp know from experience that is is Sloan who
comes here with his unprooked attacks on whoever he hates for
the moment.. "Editor" Liarry's so-called deputies are people who
take the time to set the record straight. But "editor" Liarry won't
find anything amiss with Sloan's one man crusade.

I am not concerned in the least. In this country, if the license was
"yanked" without cause, Sloan had judicial remedies. He has certainly not
shown himself incapable of finding the Courthouse -- if he had a case, he
should have made it. My guess is he tried and failed.

Insinuating? I stated it clearly and factually. Sloan is a convicted felon
who has served prison time. He no longer has a securities license. He no
longer has a license to drive a taxi. Since when is the truth unfair?

I do not know and do not care. He had his day in court. I assume a jury of
his peers (or a judge, if he chose that route) found him guilty of a felony
crime. That is enough for me.

What a canard. Liarry had no part to play in the last election. The fact
is that the other slate spent a lot more money, a lot more effecitvely, and
got out their vote. Meanwhile, my "hanging out in the committees" consists
of being ASKED to serve as the Chair of the Finance Committee. I like to
think that I can assist the USCF in this role.

Mr. Bauer is now licking derrieres,
> and we may see him back on the board one of these years.

Unlike Parr, I tend to adopt a reasonable view about people, even so-called
political opponants. During the last campaign, I publicly stated that Bill
Goichberg did lots of good things as Executive Director and could work with
him on the Board, I also complimented Joel Channing for his help on the
Crossville building and construction loan (while we were both running for
the Board), and I have admitted that Don Shultz and I agreed on several
things on the Board. Parr, ever the guttersnipe, now claims this sort of
attitude is "licking derrieres" which tells us a lot more about his tastes
than mine.

(Snip Parr's typical habit of revisiting and lying about issues long since
settled... he always hopes the uninitiated around here have short memories)

<< Mr. Bauer has been deputized to be the creature attacking Mr. Sloan
in this election.>>

I'm the self-appointed creature, thank you. :-)

The fact remains that Parr endorses Sloan, who, *by his own account*,
had sexual intercourse with a girl of junior high school age; Sloan,
who, "by his own account," has had sexual relations with other "young
girl[s]"; Sloan, who, on his various web pages, exhibits an unusual
interest in the sexuality of children (an interest Parr et al. would
prefer to ascribe to me ;-) but can't seem to produce the relevant
evidence--by similar logic, Lt. Columbo must've been a murderer);
Sloan, who is an apologist for the convicted child molester Jefferson
Poland.

Parr disputes these facts (except for the Poland matter, on which Parr
has been completely silent) without examining the evidence. Perhaps,
per Parr, I am an individual far more dangerous than Sloan (heh
heh)--but I'm not running for the Board, am I? There are most likely
at least two candidates who don't have sexual relations with children
and don't advocate such acts. Given that well over 70% of our members
are minors....

I think that in his heart of hearts, Parr thinks as little of Sloan as
we do. (One could offer an alternative hypothesis, but I prefer to
give even Parr the benefit of the doubt on that one....) That's why
Parr won't respond to the facts on Sloan. He just wants to disrupt
USCF, and Sloan is a useful idiot for the purpose. Just as those who
use Parr consider him a useful idiot....

So why are you raging so much about Sam ? If you think that he won`t be

But I bet that GM Lev Alburt is right : you do care only about your

Subject: Re: Crossville, TN
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2003 17:02:27 GMT

Jim,
_
When Sam Sloan was lying about other people, I couldn't
always know what was true.
_
When Sloan started lying about me, it became obvious to
me that he was lying, because I had personal knowledge of
the truth.
_
This is why he is so dangerous: Sloan lies about everything,
usually to try to make other people look bad, but in each
case, only a few people will actually know he is lying.
Everybody else in the audience will have to guess.
_
After Sloan caused an embarrassing scene at this past
weekend's board meeting, the board members discussed
what we should do in cases like this. We decided we
wouldn't allow this kind of outrageous behavior in the future.
At future board meetings and delegates meetings, if Sloan
shows up and starts spouting off with his personal attacks
as he did this past weekend, we will just cut him off, and if
necessary have him removed from the room. There is no
place for inappropriate behavior like that at our meetings.
_
Personally I felt bad for the audience. This past weekend
we were in a very small room, and Sloan's daughter had a
very full diaper. Sloan of course didn't care, but everyone in
the audience had to put up with the smell. When our COO
Grant Perks tried to pick her up, she actually peed on his
hand and Grant had to go to the bathroom to wash up.
_
Even after Sloan was publicly asked to change his daughter's
smelly diaper, he stood around with a vacant look on his
face for several minutes, doing nothing. Possibly he was
rehearsing his crazy rant in his mind, which fortunately for
everyone he did not get the opportunity to deliver in full.
_
Finally he changed his daughter's diaper, but rather than
taking her into the bathroom or somewhere more private,
he changed her diaper in the midst of the tightly packed
audience, so they had to watch and smell the proceedings.
Then he put the dirty diaper in the wastebasket in our small
meeting room, rather than taking it into the bathroom.
_
Sloan then stood there with his unwashed hands for the
rest of the meeting, and probably proceeded to shake hands
with people afterward. Now that I have a good idea of his
personal hygiene, I will be sure never to shake his hand.

Jerzy, you have a problem with the impertinent.

Do you also have a problem with Sloan's apologia for child molestation
in his Wikipedia writings on the *convicted* and *confessed* child
molester Jefferson Poland?

Is it appropriate for an adult to have oral sex with an eight-year-old
girl, Jerzy?

Is it appropriate for Sloan to excuse such conduct, Jerzy?

You may of course dispute my characterization, Jerzy. The textual
evidence awaits you. Larry Parr must have already read this article:
you can borrow from his stirring defense of Sloan.

I'm not running in this election, and the majority of the EB were my
opponents in the last election.

When you understand the stark reality - that your claims about me in
this election are totally baseless -- why don't you just shut up?

A PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE

Mr. No Name claims the establishment ain't pulling out all
the stops to stop Sam.

Yeah, right.

If Sam had no chance, why do you think two members
of the finance committee (Bill Brock and chairman Randy Bauer)
are calling him every name under the sun?

They rightly fear that Sam's statements in Chess Life will appeal a
to the membership at large. Hence their pre-emptive strike.

I've said the same things in each of the past 3 elections. Given that
Sloan hasn't come anywhere close to being elected in either of the last
two, only a Sloan apologist like Parr could suggest that my statements
are based on a "fear that Sam's statements will appeal to the
membership at large."

The membership so far appears to be smarter than Parr and Sloan.

Pedophiles comprise about 1% of the adult population; functional

have several hundred wildly enthusiastic supporters within USCF
membership.

Do get back to us on Sloan's profoundly moral defense of Jefferson
Poland's child molestation, Larry baby. And when you do, crosspost
THAT to rgcm.

ENDLESS CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

Mr. Chess Freak, whose identity begins to suggest
itself, accuses Sam Sloan of having "sex with children."

No matter how often the unproven charge is
repeated -- and it is repeated during the political
season several times a day -- we must keep in mind
that there is no proof that Sam Sloan has ever
molested, much less had sex, with a child. None.

The technique of those fronting for the Executive
Board is to attack Sam with every possible smear in
the hope, likely a realistic one, that some mud will stick.

Randy Bauer offered us a particularly odious
example of the technique. He strung together two
claims as if they were related to each other. First,
he said correctly that Sam had been convicted of a
"felony" and that he had been involved in a securities
case. The natural presumption was that Sam had bilked
someone and had served time for securities fraud.

Mr. Bauer intended that precisely this message would
be understood by those here and, perhaps, elsewhere.

The truth is that Sam went to jail for taking
custody of his own daughter against a court order.
His action would likely never have been in the court
system a couple of generations back, and Sam is no
more a criminal than many hundreds of thousands of
other parentss who have run afoul of a court system
meddling in affairs of the heart. Paul Craig Roberts,
an undersecretary of the treasury during the Reagan
years, has written movingly of a huge number of men
sitting in prisons, though having committed no crime
whatsoever under the natural law.

Mr. Bauer's technique is to respond with
sanctimonious piffle about never voting for anyone who
has been in jail, etc. He talks about Sam kidnapping
someone without mentioning that the person involved
was Sam's own daughter.

Mr. Bauer is the point man in the campaign
against Sam Sloan. That is his function this time
around. He is a tougher, more resilient personality
than his cohort Bill Brock and is ideally suited for
this type of character assassination.

Why you can't answer a straight question?

I ask if you personally brought the matter before the board and you answer
that Don Shultz pulled the article.

This avoids my question of your own part in it.

Instead your recent answer states "'Secretary' Don Shultz pulled the
article", as if to say that the Secretary did so since this was his role in
monitoring the election, or as the result of a board mandate..

> MY MOTION DEALT WITH EXCEPTIONS IN THE FUTURE.... I.E. AFTER THE SHULTZ

No! Are you saying there was a chronology that you raised an issue before
the board after Don Shultz took an action in pulling the article? If the
board kept minutes, will this chronology be represented in them? Why did Don
Shultz remove Sloan's article if there was no motion to do so? Who allowed
your own article to appear, even though it too was in technical violation?
Was that Don Shultz, or the baord as a whole?

But there must have been something discussed at board level for the
Secretary to be required to take action. Someone must have raised the issue.
Who raised your own issue - when you to were technically in error according
to the rules?

Perhaps you are right - and I am quite witless? But since this is the third
try on your part to answer a simple question 'yes' or 'no', do I have to
interpret

"it was not excluded as a direct result of my action" ?

I am tending to think that could possibly mean 'yes'. Does it?


> READ THE DAMN THING, PHIL - DON EXPLAINS HIS RATIONALE AND NEVER MENTIONS

When you mention Don, you are seeming to go out of your way to obscure the
fact that he also has a role on the board in monitoring the election - ie,
he is the Secretary. When you refer to him you are not being at all clear if
he is acting as an individual board member on his own initiaitive, or as
board Secretary as result of issues raised at board level - which is a
function he must perform in relation to the election. whether he likes the
result or not.

It would help if you could write whole sentences - like if you raised the
issue. When you wrote that the 'board' did not, but Don did - what does this
indicate?

I am asking what role you played in the entire affair, what actually
happened at board level, and if Don Shultz acted on the instructions of the
board, or independent of those instructions as election moderator,
neverthless having acted on matters raised at the board.

You now limit your list of 'associations' to a felony and securities

How many different sorts of felonies were there? If there was one subject,
by all means mention it - if you think it relevant to board membership, and
you could also say why.

But you go out of your way to make a list which seems to me to indicate that
there is a string of felonies across numerous topics.

I expect that you yourself have broken the law frequently, and among your
crimes are ignoring school bus warnings to stop, conspiring to overthrow
several foreign governments, several parking tickets, and eating Christian
babies with Saddam.

Do you note these smear-by-association techniques? Do I understand those?

I will therefore end my own concern here.

This entire story by Tim Hanke, posted three years ago, was a complete
fabrication.

I had just finished changing Sandra's diaper five minutes earlier, in
the USCF's office in New Windson.

The diaper was not wet. When I came into the meeting room, Stan Booz,
who was sitting too far away to be able to notice, insisted that I
change the diaper, which I did even though it was not necessary.

I said nothing during the meeting until the time came for questions and
answers. When nobody else had any questions to ask, I asked for
permission to ask just one question, which was granted by Beatriz
Marinello.

The question I asked was for Tim Hanke which was to explain his posting
to this group about his grand plan for the future of the USCF. Hanke
started screaming and stormed out of the meeting. Several others
present followed him out. Then Beatriz said that there was no quorum so
the meeting was adjourned. Only Steve Shutt remained behind.

About 30 seconds later Don Schultz walked in. He said that he had only
gone to the restroom for two minutes. When he had left the room was
full. When he got back, only two or three people were left in the room.
He wondered what had happened.

This entire incident demonstrated why Tim Hanke was very unsuitable to
be sitting on the board. He should have been happy and overjoyed to be
given the opportunity to answer my question and explain his Grand Plan
for the future of the USCF. My question was softball, the kind an ally
would ask to give a politician an excuse to speak. Instead Hanke went
on a rampage.

Of course, we will never get to find out what his answer to the
question was because he later resigned without ever answering it.

By the way, in answer to the question posed in another thread, it was
Tim Hanke who had gotten elected to the board based upon qualifications
which were purely imaginary.

The truth tends to stick. Sam just doesn't have the character or

Whatever. I am happy to revise my statement if it will make the
Parr-Sloan camp happy:

Sam Sloan is a convicted felon who served prison time for kidnappying
his daughter. Unlike Parr, I happen to believe that there are plenty
of instances where child stealing -- even your own child -- is a crime
and those guilty of it should be locked up.

Sam Sloan also had his license to work in the securities industry
revoked for improper actions on his part.

Sam Sloan then moved to the taxi industry, but lost that license as
well.

Satisfied, Larry? He sure sounds like the kind of guy we want on the
Board.

Hmm, I could have sworn I read about his escapades involving

http://www.samsloan.com/maesai-y.htm do show what sort of

Not sure what you mean about identity - I'm just a chess freak
who plays chess on the internet and enjoys watching that

Herr Bauer, money is not the most important thing here. Honesty and decency

On 2 May 2006 19:42:15 -0700, I posted a copy of a
Wed, 01 Oct 2003 17:02:27 GMT Timothy Hanke note
describing an incident involving Sam Sloan, a diaper,
and a board meeting.

_


John J. wrote (Wed, 03 May 2006 05:44:12 GMT):

> If that's true, it's very disturbing.

_
By now, John J. is probably aware that Sam Sloan has
posted (3 May 2006 05:31:30 -0700) a claim that the
"entire story ... was a complete fabrication." Of course,
there is no way for John J. to find out for himself what
the smell was like, but he is in a position to note that
the Timothy Hanke and Sam Sloan accounts agree that
there was a complaint. Also, Sam Sloan does not
dispute that he did a change right there in the board
meeting.
_
John J. can also note that Sam Sloan is posting his
"fabrication" claim about fifteen months after Timothy
Hanke stopped posting here. I suggest that John J.
try looking for a similar claim in the notes that Sam
Sloan posted in early October of 2003 when Timothy
Hanke would have been around to respond. A google
search for "diaper" finds nothing in any Sam Sloan
2003 rgcp note.
_
Another consideration is the degree to which Sam
Sloan's own notes are consistant. Compare
_


"I asked for permission to ask just one

Marinello. The question I asked was for
Tim Hanke which was to explain his

"Tim Hanke was fired from his job just a
few weeks ago and now says that he

two people of such questionable
backgrounds would be entrusted with
such a large amount of money." - Sam
Sloan (Fri, 10 Dec 2004 03:23:53 GMT)
_
_
Not too long ago, referring to some of his Wikipedia
contributions, Sam Sloan posted a challenge:
_
"Please provide a statement by me in
any of these articles that was not true
and cannot be verified" - Sam Sloan
(10 Apr 2006 04:11:27 -0700)
_
I promptly reminded Sam Sloan about one of his statements:
_
"For the past more than 30 years, every time a new
book by Keene has come out or a new article by
Keene has been published, Edward Winter has
written articles attacking it." - Sam Sloan
(Fri, 03 Mar 2006 16:46:37 GMT)
_
Sam Sloan decided to post a revised version of his
challenge:
_
"Kindly provide to this group an example
of one statement which I posted on
Wikipedia and WHICH [RALF CALLENBERG]

2. Cannot be verified" - Sam Sloan

"I have listened to the Jan 27,

have it in my computer. Fisdcher
said nothing about the USCF. Not
even one word. He said, 'I don't
play the old chess any more,
period'. However, he also said
that he has spent a lot of time
studying the games of Kasparov
and Kramnik.

question which started all this.

that he does not wish to be a

"Ok. I admit that I have not read

ten years ago. That might be
entirely different from what
Fischer's views are now, a decade
later." - Sam Sloan (Sat, 28 Sep

Fischer has changed since then is

It seems to me that, under the

justified to reject an attempt by

would have to be word from Fischer

NO BIGGIE

<You say you were going to vote for him anyway, so no
biggie. I tend to think there aren't a whole lot of votes to
be had among those reading RGCP anyway.> -- Randy Bauer

There are veteran insiders and parvenu insiders.

I disagree with Randy Bauer, if such were his
point, that there are not a large number of USCF
voters at rgcp. The issue is how many can be
influenced at this point.

>Character trumps platform any day.> -- Randy Bauer

I agree that character is important when assessing
a candidate, which is why I could never support Randy
Bauer, a tax-looter, for USCF office.

Sam Sloan's personal character may be spotty, but it
appears to me a whole lot cleaner than that of a Bauer
or that of an ego-poltroon such as Taylor Kingston.

Sam has issued an interesting platform, and he
consistently discusses issues rather than personality
in spite of the mudslinging by the Messrs. Bauer and
Brock. One stands in frank amazement at Sam's
restraint in the face of their daily attacks.

As in repeating a mantra, Mr. Bauer, who is the
lead attack dog for the Executive Board, once again
tells us that Sam was convicted of a felony, but he
will not say what the "crime" happened to be.

Then, he moves on to Sam losing a security license,
implying ex omissio that Sam was convicted of bilking someone.

Next he tries to turn Sam's loss of a taxi license into a crime of
some kind, whereas if one understands the corrupt nature of NYC
licensing, it is likely a virtue on Sam's part.

Finally, the man speaks of Sam writing tastelessly about
sexual exploits, declining to repeat the Brockian mantra
about Sam being a child molester -- an interesting omission,
though perhaps merely inadvertant.

ONCE AGAIN:

1. Sam's felony was to take his own daughter, disobeying a
court order.

This affair of the heart would not have been in our ever-more
encompassing court system two generations back. Any father
might have acted the same, including our Mr. Bauer, if God forbid,
circumstances ever so dictate -- at which point, we would have
Mr. Bauer sanctimoniously announcing that he could never bring
himself to vote for a felon such as himself.

2. Sam, who is not a lawyer, argued his securities case
before the U.S. Supreme Court AND WON by a 9-0 vote, but
to overturn the bureaucratic edict, he would have had to spend
many hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal battles for
which he did not have the wherewithal.

3. Sam's losing a NYC taxi license is likely a
sign of honesty on his part.

4. As for sexual tastelessness, it is all a
matter of taste. Sam's revelations violate my sense
of the fitting, but so do the priggish harping of our
Mr. Bauer and the obsessional repetition of unproven
charges by Mr. Brock. If one had to choose between
Sam's lapses and the practices of Bauer-Brock, I
would take Sam's any day.

DIRTY DIAPERS

The Sam Sloan diaper episode was one of the
early attacks on Sam Sloan, conducted by Stan Booz
(Beatriz Marinello's right hand man) who was heading
up the smear campaign two elections back.

Then came Bill Brock. And now, for this
election, Randy Bauer is the point man for the
Executive Board. He hopes to get rewarded by the
insiders in case he decides to run again after losing
the last election.

The charge was that Sam did a poor job at
changing a dirty diaper. There may be a father
somewhere who does pristine work in this department.
I was not one of them, but perhaps Randy Bauer will
pronounce himself proficient.

The only GM Keene offer that I have seen was in a
paragraph that referred to "praising" of BCO. I have
no interest in seeing quotes of praising of BCO. If
GM Keene DID offer to send the recently posted
"role of kasparov", "my doubts", and "exaggerated
use" quotes, we could probably arrange for me to
examine them and express an opinion about whether
or not the omitted context makes a significant
difference with regard to the apparent meaning, but
it must be understood that that still would not settle
a central question.

Bill Brock appears to be saying that there is no
way to trace the origin of the third-party attack
containing traces of Randy Bauer's hidden hand.

I imagine that such is true if the party involved
set about to cover his tracks. But Randy Bauer may
have slipped up this time and his cohort on the Finance
Committee lacks the appetitite to investigate further.
.
If there are any among you who have computer expertise,
try to trace the origin of the attack. IF Mr. Bauer is the one,
which may be the case based on his four-letter advocacy
and his relentless smears against Sam Sloan, then we can
close out his USCF political career once and for all.

Upon reflection, wouldn't someone have to have an interest to pursue
this legally? In creating the blog, one has to provide an email
address, inaccessible AFAIK to anyone outside of blogspot.com.

<OccamsRazorFreeZone>

Who'd be more likely to use the spelling "favours," Randy Bauer or
Jason Repa? Most certainly Bauer, as he could have "pretended" to
slip, but then subsequently frame Repa for having carelessly used the
Canadian spelling.

Equally likely is George John, the only rgcp poster with English as
first language who has used the misspelling "collegue." Again, this is
probably John's clumsy attempt to pin the blog entry upon Repa (bearing
in mind that the French cognate is collègue, and that this English
misspelling is therefore more likely to be made by a Canadian than an
American). Transparent on George's part....

Only Parr posing as a politik could believe this ham-handed effort is
anything other than a dirty trick by Jason Repa. It's almost sad to
see Parr either taken in by this chimpanzee masquerading as an ape or
willing to parrot his bull to serve a political purpose.

First, as Bill Brock notes, it is very easy to concoct this sort of
forgery, and Repa has cyber-stalked me and my family before. In fact,
the last time occurred during the last election, when once I showed
Parr the evidence of Repa's bad deeds, he rescinded support for a post
Repa had made against me.

Second, Repa suddenly reappears with a Gmail address and just a couple
days later, this revelation, from a mysterous Frank F -- never posted
here before -- with a Gmail address gives us his sleuthing evidence of
my supposed post of a fake blog of Susan Polgar.

Keep in mind, Susan Polgar is a friend, a person I admire and respect.
It is ludicrous to suggest that I would post a blog that makes her look
bad with the flimsy excuse that it contains a link to Sloan, which
might, to somebody (if they ever saw it), lead them to think badly of
Sloan.

Give me a break - what a house of cards. There is no reason to make
something up about Sloan -- his website alone and his many newsgroup
posts contain stuff more prurient than this blog I supposedly created
and masqueraded as him.

Meanwhile, Parr talks of relentless "smears" of Sam Sloan, which
consist of me noting his felony conviction, prison time, and loss of
both a securities and cab license. Quite a smear; somehow Parr equates
this as similar to the abuse of our boy, Jason Repa. Perhaps Parr --
and anybody else -- should Google Repa on RGCP over the last few years.
If Parr can honestly claim he is a credible source, I'll get out the
polygraph machine.

Bill Brock can never see the point. He tries.
Gawd knows he tries. But....

Once again THE POINT: Randy Bauer's name was
left hanging in what he claims to be a forgery.
I say that Mr. Bauer would enjoy an overwhelming
presumption of innocence (in addition, to the usual
presumption we accord those accused, including Jason
Repa) if a thorough search of the message source leads
to a dead end. Why? Because if Mr. Bauer is really
behind the third-party assault that tried to implicate
Sam Sloan, he did NOT know how to hide himself as a
source, and a search will lead to him. If it leads to
a deadend, then we may assume with fair certainty that
someone else concocted the assault.

It is not up to me to pay for an investigation
that can clear Mr. Bauer's name. But if someone with
computer expertise who is not a louse or if someone
on the side of the angels knows how to do these things,
a search that leads to a deadend, given Mr. Bauer's
apparent relative computer illiteracy, will leave him
enjoying an overwhelming presumption of innocence.

ANYONE CAN SEE THAT.

On the other hand, if Mr. Bauer ... well, let's find out.

And it is not up to me to pay for an investiagion that proves that Sam
Sloan, contrary to the evidence presented ad nauseam by Sloan himself
(& re-presented ad nauseam by yours truly, if only because Sloan's

That's why we need the close reading skills of Larry Parr to focus on
Sam Sloan's Wikipedia essays re Jefferson Poland.

In the following two excerpts, Sam Sloan appears to defend Jefferson
Poland, with whom Sloan co-authored the book _Sex Marchers_, against
allegations of molesting a girl. In the first passage excepted below,
Sloan accuses the child's parents of being "obviously complici[t]" in
the molestation. In the contradictory second passage, Sloan accuses the

child's parents of themselves "abusing the child."

Sloan presents no evidence for the parent's complicity in Poland's
molestation or for his claim that the parents themselves abused the
daughter. Poland's curious choice of surname (see below) would tend to
suggest otherwise.

Poland is indeed a registered sex offender in the state of California,
as one may ascertain via http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/

<<In the early 1980s, Poland was charged with child molestation.
Apparently, a nudist couple, including David Irving and his girlfriend,
had entrusted Poland with the care of their daughter while they were
nude sunbathing on Black's Beach in La Jolla, California near San
Diego. Some time later, the nudist couple accused Poland of having
performed cunnalingus [sic--WHB] on their daughter while they were nude
sunbathing. Poland fled the country rather than face these charges. He
lived for five years as a fugitive in Australia until 1988, when he was
extradited back to America. In view of the passage of time and the
obvious complicity of his accusers, Poland probably could have
successfully fought the charges. However, by that time he had changed
his name legally to "Clitlick" and he preferred to plead guilty to the
cunnalingus [sic--WHB] charge. He served about nine months in San Diego
County Jail. Upon his release, he returned to live in San Francisco. He
turned over his archives to the Bancroft Library of the University of
California at Berkeley, where they are now available for public viewing

by academic researchers. Poland now lives in San Francisco, where he is
monitored as a registered sex offender. >>

Those were the glory days of sexual freedom. There was always a bevy of

naked hippie chicks laying around with their legs spread open waiting
for some guy to come along. I partook of these opportunities

there were plenty of available women around.

My guess is that the nudist couple were themselves abusing the child.

they could come back and accuse him of what they had actually done. If

<<CONFESSIONS OF A NUDIST CHILD MOLESTER
(reprinted for educational purposes from Nude and Natural 10.1)
by Jeff Poland


[*Prefatory paragraph by web editor Nikki Craft*] What follows is
Clitlick's article published in Lee Baxandall's magazine. Baxandall
used the article to shift the connection from the naturists onto the
nudists, when -- in this case -- the nudists deserved to take none of
it. Clitlick was a long time naturist. He was a writer for Lee
Baxandall and he was a long time free beach and free love/sex advocate.
[*End prefatory paragraph by web editor Nikki Craft*--WHB]

I AM A RECOVERING PEDOPHILE. Every two weeks I receive injections
of a female hormone (medroxyprogesterone) designed to counteract my
testosterone, thus depressing my libido- a process known as "chemical
castration." I also attend weekly group psychotherapy sessions, in a
cognitive restructuring ("brainwash") program for sex offenders (mostly
incestuous fathers, step-fathers, and grandfathers).
My crime occurred in 1980 or earlier. Thru swinging, I had met a
ultra-liberal nudist family. The parents attended and hosted
adults-only orgies. The children went with them on nude camping trips
and visits to the nude beach. Although I was a self-described
pedophile, the parents allowed me to befriend their two children, a boy
and a girl, then around 7 and 8.
Most of my interaction with the kids consisted of innocent play,
usually nude. In addition, I fondled the girl's vulva and occasionally
performed cunnilingus on her. I never had erections in their presence,
nor did I ask them to perform any sexual acts on me.
I was romantically in love with my girl victim, although I
realized her feelings for me amounted merely to friendship. In my
fantasy I was her lover; in practice, her playmate.
My urge was driven by several factors: First, I genuinely enjoy
the company of children, more than most adults do. Second, I am unable
to maintain an erection with any partner (man, woman, girl, or boy)
which is a severe handicap in adult relationships; but no handicap with
children. Third, my ideal woman would be quite petite (like my mother,
who was only 5 ft. tall, and thin); so girls are attractive by being
short, and by having slender bodies and smooth skin. Fourth, I lack
attributes expected of an adult male (no job, no car, no dancing
ability, etc.); which makes it difficult to relate to adult women,
especially as I age; but kids don't care if you're old and poor; they
merely seek attention. Fifth, I am emotionally child-like and childish
myself.
I developed an elaborate rationalization ("stinkin' thinkin' ")
to justify my behavior. I believed that sexual pleasure was inherently
good, and that some (not all) types of erotic play were age-appropriate
for children, such as masturbation, fondling, and nudity. If sex were
basically good, then sexual learning would begin as soon as the child
showed interest.(Precocity in music is praised; but sexual ignorance is
considered virtue.) I believed that my needs suited me to be an erotic
mentor to an intelligent child.
I believed that such relationships, with the knowledge and
consent of the parents, could become acceptable in advanced societies
such as Denmark or the Netherlands. And among avant-garde life-stylers
here. But I failed to worry enough about the reaction of the straight
state.
I also failed to consider the extreme changeability of kids. One
can expect an adult to hold similar views from year to year. But the
views of children are continually changing-generally away from their
parents' views and toward those of their schoolmates. Thus nudist
children tend to become more prudish as they grow older, reflecting the
views of their non-nudist peers. A small child shares her parents' view
point, however unusual; while an older child or teen conforms to social
norms.
My victim's views have changed toward conventionality. The
problem of consent rearises: Will this activity be acceptable not only
today, but also next year when remembered?
My relationship ended around 1980, when my victim informed her
parents of our forbidden games. The police found out in 1983. I became
a fugitive until 1988, when the law finally caught me. In jail, quite
depressed, I attempted to cut off one of my testicles. Unfortunately I
failed.
I was charged with three counts of fondling and three counts of
cunnilingus. My victim was willing to testify against me. My lawyer
negotiated a plea-bargain under which I would serve a one-year county
jail sentence, and then be released on probation for 5 years. I pled
guilty to one count of fondling, and the other five counts were
dropped.
If I violate probation, I can be sent to state prison for a 5-yr
sentence. Probably I wouldn't survive prison, as "normal" prisoners
harass and try to kill pedophiles; this is one way in which an ordinary
criminal can redeem himself.
My problem now is to complete probation successfully. The
chemical castration and cognitive therapy are prescribed by court
order. To associate with children or to go where children congregate, I
would need a chaperone an adult who knows that I'm on probation for
fondling. I am also required to obey all laws (except traffic laws);
which means that I cannot go nude at the nude beach, where nudity is
unofficially tolerated but technically illegal. (I am avoiding the nude
beach anyway, as I expect my former friends there would reject me now
as a convicted child-molester.)
I realize now how futile it is to try to explain my experiences.
Most people-including educated, intelligent, sexually-tolerant
people-view the pedophile as an insane rapist, whose motives are not
worth examining. While the ignorant would kill the pedophile, the
educated would incarcerate him for life in hospital or prison. --Jeff

Jefferson Poland does not defend his conduct. Why does Sam Sloan
defend the conduct of the confessed child molester?

And why does Larry Parr champion the character of Sam Sloan, an

Randy,

You "left out" the part about the posting host of Frank F.
(205.200.3.190) tracing to mts.net, that www.mts.net is
MyManitoba.com with a home base of Winnipeg, and
this recent Repa quote (from the Sam Sloan - Jail? thread):

"...and committing suicide. I'll save you the phone call the Jack
Kavorkian, you can come to Winnipeg Manitoba and i'll provide
the service free of charge.

Jason Repa"

but I wouldn't expect this (certainly not conclusive) evidence to
silence Mr. Parr. Decent persons interested in honest, honorable
debate wouldn't have posted a conditional-laden attack on this
matter in the first place and I wouldn't expect him to take the decent
path at this point in the discussion, at least based on his recent
behavior in this forum.


Really Larry, you continue to debase yourself, each day, with your
disingenuous, 'just havin' a good time' style of distortion that you

Jason Repa could not possibly be that careless: he's a brilliant man

I agree with Larry Parr: this is more evidence implicating Randy Bauer.

Parr asked whodunit? If there is a way to find the truth,
why not pursue it?

If Randy Bauer played no hand in this deception (which I
tend to believe) then he should be the one loudly calling for
an investigation to clear his name -- not Parr.

Apart from accusing the grim Repa, however, I haven't seen
Randy eager to pursue this issue or prove it was a forgery.

I respectfully suggest that Randy's ally Bill Brock does his pal
no good trying to bury the problem by smearing Sam Sloan again and
again with matters unrelated to chess.

The VERY FIRST thing I said in response to this crock, when first
raised, was along the lines of I hope somebody with better knowledge of
the workings of the Internet will investigate it. First, Bill pointed
out how easy it is to mess around with html code, then another pointed
out the fact that these posts raising the issue were all coming out of
Winnipeg, the home of our boy Jason Repa.

Exactly how would one go about investigating this further, and who
would do it? I'm confident that anybody who examines the posts to date
and examines Repa's past bad acts toward me and others will reach the
conclusion that the claims being made have no basis in logic or fact.
I am also more than willing to take a lie detector test on this.

Parr is anxious to contend that you may be a liar, Randy, as it gives
him an excuse to avoid talking about the fact that Mr. Thai Soldiers on
Leave has once again endorsed a child molester who is also an apologist
for child molestation. He likes to defame people without evidence (the
"I don't believe this but I'll repeat it" trick).

I'm willing to make a side bet with Parr (at odds of 100-1, maximum bet
$100 to win $10,000) that no evidence will be found that makes it
likely (more than 50% probability) that Bauer was the other party.
Specification: an email address of "randy...@xyz.com" is
unconvincing, as that could be easily created (email me at
randy...@billbrock.net if you don't believe me); OTOH, tracing to an
email address / URL commonly used by Bauer (as opposed to a spoof of
such address) probably would be. A knowledgable third party (or panel
of three such persons) acceptable to both Parr and me may be named to
adjudicate. Because Parr's word is worthless, his bet would need to be
placed in escrow beforehand.

Therefore, Parr should be happy to send me (or some other third party
you & Parr agree upon) the funds necessary to hire an atty to serve
blogspot.com & obtain the email address. IANAL, but I believe that
only someone with an immediate interest in this (you or one of the
individuals defamed in the blog) could do this. Personally, I would
not bother, as the email address is most likely a cutout. But if Parr
does so & wins the bet, I will also reimburse him for the cost of the
legal discovery on top of his winnings.

Of course, Parr won't put up. (It would involve opening his wallet.)

So let's return to Parr's failure to address "[his] man" Sam Sloan's
apologia for Jefferson Poland's child molestation.

Agreed; when you two decide on the bet and arrange the attorney, I will
be more than happy to participate as the injured party. Just to make
it worth Parr's while (or anybody else for that matter), I will place a
side bet with that person as well.

If this "level of proof" isn't sufficient for them, I will also place
another side bet on me passing a polygraph test that I had no knowledge
of and nothing to do with the blog posting.

While it's true that Sloan kidnapped his daughter, he was not
*convicted* of kidnapping, but of two lesser felonies related to the
same incident. (I had previously made the same mistake.)

Similary, Sloan reports that his acquaintance Jefferson Poland was
convicted of having performed cunnilingus on an eight-year-old girl
(even as Sloan elsewhere excuses Poland's conduct); according to
Poland's own account, however, he was convicted of a lesser charge in a
plea bargain.
