Now there is a new issue:

The following was posted on the Illinois Chess Association forums this
afternoon by Robbie Kleinmuntz:

"P.S. I don't think this matters, but I didn't give Susan Polgar
permission to write anything I said in her blog."

It has long been obvious that a lot of the material posted on
susanpolgar.blogspot.com is misappropriated from other sources without
permission. Susan takes extensively from newsfeeds and other public
sources.

Also, many of the things that I write and post here wind up on her
blogspot as "anonymous" postings.

There are serious copyright problems with almost everything on Susan's
blogspot. Only a few rare items are actually written by her.

Here she may have subjected Robbie Kleinmuntz to calumny and ridicule
by giving his remarks to a much wider audience than he intended.
