I'll let Dr. Sloan patiently explain to the Nearly an IM 2450 the
difference between rating floors and rating fraud.

Yes, can Dr. Sloan explain why USCF awarded a false rating floor to a player
who then had to resign from the USCF board as result of it?

These two factors comprising ratings floors & rating fraud!

(Its hard for some people to take in compound sentences or even 2 ideas in
any post - reminds me of the Kevin Kline character in a Fish called Wanda,
anytime there were two possibilities, he would become flustered, and ask to
be told the middle one again... zzzzz

But I rather doubt Ken will, its not his style to explain, but rather to
deny, and clearly his own shop is not /his/ responsibility, whereas other
people are awful!

When Ken has explained to the abusenik how the political fix went unchecked
at USCF ratings department - and by the entire 30 person crew, even
abuseniks like Brennan will get it, well... not that they actually
demonstrated they give a damn about chess... so getting it will as usual
have no effect on them.

Its all about hating people who do care about chess, and not corrupt
business as usual, you see? Hence the proxy attack on Polgar, via Truong,
then on /all/ public commentaries by those who would demur.

And I also see Nick wrote to offer his opinion, last-tinnie-snydrome? There
is more of that at the corner store, but there's no chess in them tins, and
none in his posts anymore. zzzzz

So, if these interlopers can forebear to actually address a chess topic,
especially perhaps the most venerable of all tournaments, several real
issues have shown up here which deserve more than flip ad hominem
commentaries from the peanut gallery, supplemented by a vile hate-merchant.

They might notice 3 or 4 tangents to the event where there is both
intelligent comment, and for usenet, relatively couth disagreement. And if
they were interested in the event itself, then there is always the play!
