| BAUER'S DEFENSE OF BOOZ
I see. So, Sam Sloan thinks that it is perfectly OK for Sam Sloan to
call Board Member Beatriz Marinello a notorious lesbian, former USCF
President Leroy Dubeck whacko and to suggest that Board Members
Marinello and Hanke are not to be trusted with the USCF's finances. In
his latest motion, Sloan also refers to the Board members supporting
the Crossville move as "most of the group pushing through this illegal
scheme to loot the few remaining assets of the United States Chess
Federation are a motly crew of nerdo well unemployeds or minimally
employeds." -- Randy Bauer
I am being ignored by Randy Bauer, though he responds to Sam
Sloan.
Sam: I will take some credit that when these chaps are no
longer willing to notice me, they still notice you. That's because,
with all due respect to your many fine postings, I hurt them more.
Needless to add, we still have not seen the detailed cost
estimates of the move to Cross-to-Bear.
Mr. Bauer told us a week ago that he did not include legal costs in
his personal estimate of the cost because legal fees would have been
higher if the Federation had remained in New Windsor. Yet last October
he wrote that there were no legal problems associated with the move
and that, indeed, members of the Board had not even bothered to discuss
for "weeks" a threatening letter from a Tennessee legal attack dog.
Mr. Bauer lied. That's what he did: he lied. He could not keep
his stories straight over a period of months.
Now, Mr. Bauer rightly takes Sam to task for several comments he
made. His idea is to excuse his political confrere, Stan Booz, by
going after Sam.
I note that I attacked several of Sam's statements, including his
bringing up Mrs. Marinello's alleged lesbianism, his description of
Leroy Dubeck as a wacko and, of course, his mistaken idea that Beatriz
or Tim would ever run off with the Federation's cash box, which I
didn't and don't believe for a nanosecond. I had no problem berating
Sam when I thought him wrong.
I note, however, that Mr. Bauer instead defends the scatological
Mr. Booz within his own camp. My explanation for Mr. Bauer's behavior
is that he is acting dishonestly. Perhaps George John can offer us a
kinder, gentler explanation for the false ploy of his running mate.
