Oldtimer, whose real name is Todd Miller, has posted the following
over on the USCF Issues Forum:
[quote="oldtimer"]I believe there are times when it is appropriate to
delve into a board members personal life. For example, if there is a
coach who the authorities have forbidden him from being alone with his
own children as it puts a bad face on the USCF and the USCF should be
advertising such a person as a coach. But I agree that merely rumor or
speculation without any evidence is inappropriate. Unfortunately, in
this censored forum frequently only the false rumor and speculation is
what remains. Other examples might include when the board member
accuses members of being deranged on some other censored website or
when the board member publishes phony emails under a pseudonym.[/

The casual reader will naturally assume that this is just a
hypothetical case. However, this is a real case. Judge Mildred Negron
specifically ordered that Paul Truong is not to be left along with
Susan Polgar's children. The Court order states:
RESPONDENT MOTHER IS NOT TO LEAVE CHILDREN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF
HER PARAMOUR, KNOWN AS "PAUL" PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION. INGESTION
OF HOT SAUCE IS NOT TO BE USED AS A FORM OF DISCIPLINE. ADJOURN DATE;
DECEMBER 19, 2006.
PT-42
Dated: November 15, 2006
Susan Polgar repeatedly on her blog states that this is a personal
matter and the Executive Board has no business being involved in this.
However, do not the members of the USCF and in particular the parents
of our 30,000 scholastic members have a right to know that a member of
the board of the USCF is under court order not to be left alone with
his own step-children?
Next, note how Todd Miller carefully phrases his words. This is
because the USCF Issues Forum is heavily censored by known fanatical
Polgaristas Herbert Rodney Vaughn and Tim Sawmiller. Todd Miller knows
that if he comes out and writes that his remarks refer specifically to
Paul Truong, he will be censored and more than that he will likely be
banned from posting there altogether. Anybody familiar with these
cases knows that all three examples provided by Todd Miller in his
quote above refer to Susan Polgar and Paul Truong, who have done all
those things. Now, the other USCF Members who post there are not
allowed to know about these problems unless they happen to come over
here. Many if not most of the regulars over here never come here so
they will never know about this.
I think an appropriate analogy is the examples of Catholic Priests
who, when caught in acts of pedophilia, were simply transferred to
another parish where they could do it again and again and keep being
transferred and their new supervisors could never know why they had
been transferred there, and thus would not be alerted to the serious
problem.
Now, has not the USCF put itself in serious jeopardy of a major
lawsuit by a parent who only after the fact finds out that Paul Truong
is considered by the courts to be a danger to his own children? Since
the pro-Polgar moderators, Vaughn and Sawmiller, were appointed by
Bill Hall and Bill Goichberg for the specific purpose of censoring any
anti-Polgar remarks, are not they in jeopardy and putting the USCF in
jeopardy by leaving Vaughn and Sawmiller in positions where they can
keep the membership from finding out the true background of Truong and
Polgar?
