An EBN sent in October of 2000 gave a consolidated summary sheet and gave a phone number and e-mail address at the USCF office to get a complete copy. Not even Sam's allies agree with his point, although for political reasons many of them are unwilling to say so. Of course not. I don't like the TLA policies and I feel the office needs to improve communication and grassroots efforts. If I don't like everything that Bill Goichberg did while he was Vice President, it does not mean that I wanted to recall Bill Goichberg.
Reasonable people ought to be able to disagree and still remain reasonable.
My previous post on this subject neither endorsed nor opposed the signing of the Sloan petitions, though I did state that I tried to discourage Sloan from making this effort, partly because I feared it would be counterproductive and partly for some of the reasons stated by Bruce above. I have not signed any of the petitions, and barring some fresh EB action to cause even more harm to USCF, do not plan to sign any. However, I believe that the outrageous increase in the TLA fees and resulting decimation of the TLA section of Chess Life is a catastrophe, and I am not willing to try to discourage any voters who may react to this by signing one or more of the petitions.
