The problem is that with that broad interpretation, nobody can say
anything.
For example, one is not allowed to say, "Garry Kasparov took back a
move against Judit Polgar".
However, as applied in the USCF Issues Forum, anybody is allowed to
attack Sam Sloan including even calling me a child molester, but
nobody was allowed to make even a mildly negative comment about Susan
Polgar, Paul Truong or Joel Channing.
