Feb-22-08   DrGrobb: He plays g4 against anybody!!!I wonder if he still plays?
May-14-08   edbermac: What's up with him? I go to his site sometimes; now nothing but error messages. Saw this on Wiki:

On 03 April 2008, posts appeared on USENET, apparently placed by Mr. Sloan, claiming that some of his websites had been censored. "Today, April 3, 2008, the Sheriff of Amherst County Virginia finally succeeded in shutting down Sam Sloan's websites. The following websites were closed down on orders of Deputy C. R. Smith of the Amherst County Sheriff's Department: http://www.samsloan.com http://www.shamema.com..." (He added a third site, but it is blacklisted).

Hope he gets back online; he's quite a character.

  artyom2008: happy bday
Sep-21-08   kramputz: Wow....that picture shows he is on LSD trip. Too many law suits ????
Apr-10-09   Dredge Rivers: In the April 2009 Chess Life, he claims he was convicted of kidnapping for rescuing his daughter from a kidnapper! Now, doesn't that sound a little bass ackwards? Didn't he used to live in a commune? And most importantly, why did I ever get involved in a sport that attracts these kind of weirdos?

Sigh!

P.S. Nice photo! (Not!)

  parisattack: <kramputz: Wow....that picture shows he is on LSD trip. Too many law suits ????>

I read the Lawsuits thing in CL this (last?) month. Made me dizzy, everyone suing everyone...half-dozen permutations/trees, like a variation of the Najdorf. People must have a lot of time on their hands is all I can think.

  Caissanist: An account of the lawsuits from the USCF ED (probably similar to what parisattack read) is online at http://main.uschess.org/content/vie....

  WannaBe: I have just read through my issue of ChessLife, and I, in my own words, will say this about you (S. Sloan).

"You, are an idiot!"

  blacksburg: wow, everyone suing each other over message board posts. that's awesome for chess in the US. that'll really help chess to be taken seriously in this country. great work, everyone.
Apr-12-09   MaxxLange: This is depressing. The old Usenet crowd (the same guys who spammed all the chess groups with their obsessive, feuding .politics posts) finally take their shot at really finishing off USCF.
Apr-12-09   Everyone: Thanks <blacksburg>. It had been a long time in coming.

<I would not take too seriously any result in a court of law as the last word on what really happened.>

You mean, O.J. actually killed those people? Wow! My head is spinning!

May-09-09   Raisin Death Ray: He's <A MAN WITH A PLAN!>

I have a plan, too. I plan to IGNORE THIS BASKET CASE!

May-09-09   VaselineTopLove: The picture looks like a mugshot.
May-25-09   robmtchl: I don't think there is a picture of Sloan that could be posted that wouldn't have him looking like some kind of weirdo
May-29-09   myschkin: . . .
