  I don't think Mr. Sloan was ever criticized for making
a very generalized statement like that.  No, I believe
the critics pointed to very specific claims by Mr. Sloan,
which turned out to be *false* in their particulars.

  Example: "Some USCF documents may have been
misplaced, archived, discarded, destroyed, or are
otherwise missing", and I can't seem to find them".

 Versus: "The financial statements for fiscal years
1888-1899 were destroyed, in a villainous attempt
to keep me -- the world's greatest watchdog -- from
uncovering a plot to overthrow the government of
Zambia".

  See the difference?


> What is wild and reckless about making those statements?

  How about phrasing them such that they were
false, misleading, filled with assertions which were
untrue?


> Somebody has to be the USCF's watchdog.

  How about "somebody" who is not quite so bold,
so reckless, and so often proved wrong?

  Ad hominem stuff.  You *really* need to find
some way to distance yourself from the evil
Evans ratpack.

  You are not on the board, Mr. Sloan.
