My proposed solution to the Anna Khan Problem   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #10017 of 32495 |
Re: [fide-chess] Re: My proposed solution to the Anna Khan Problem

No, this is not the comments of my opponents.  This is a derogatory, vicious, insulting, and obnoxious that was made a former US Champion.  If the organizer(s) and the USCF find that the comments were inappropriate and take actions or issue a censure, I have no problem with it.  If the organizer(s) and the USCF keep silence, that is my interpretation of them endorsing it.  People may disagree with each other.  People may hate other people.  However, no one should be entitled to say things that were said in a public forum.  That was inexcusable.  The organizer(s) is/are entitled to invite anyone they want.  I also have the right to refuse to play in a tournament with such people.  I also will not associate myself with such people.  Now, it will be up to the organizer(s) to make up their minds.  I have clearly made up mine.
