<Both Bill Goichberg and Beatriz Marinello called for Tanner's
resignation on November 27.> -- Vince Hart
There is a pathetic quality to Mr. Hart's advocacy.
I may yet be proved wrong by the Board which, as I wrote,
I hope to be so proved.
But the call by President Goichberg and Beatriz Marinello for
Robert Tanner's resignation is not a Board resolution
voted on by the majority. I am still correct in what I wrote.
Sam deals fairly adequately with the egregious
Bill Brock's attempt to defend Robert Tanner's blatant
and delicious dishonesty by changing the subject to
Sam Sloan.
Still, the fallacy in Mr. Brock's attempt to
equate Sam Sloan's claim to have reached a master's
rate with Robert Tanner's serial efforts to use his
accreditation as a USCF tournament director to raise
his rating by several hundred points is evident enough.
Even were Sam's claim dishonest and wrong, which
has not been demonstrated, it would not amount to a
National tournament director corrupting the tournament
directing process by repeatedly plotting through devious
measures to advance his own rating. Mr. Tanner's cheating
was not done in haste or in heat. It was serial, it was
prolonged and it was devious. By any normal
reckoning it speaks to the man's personal character.
It speaks to whether he may be trusted to remain
accredited as a USCF tournament director or as a
member of our FIDE "team."
