Chess Forum / General Topics / July 2006Grant Perks, having lost the election, is trying to abolish the Executive Board
Grant Perks, having lost the election, is trying to abolish the Executive Board Grant Perks, a former Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the USCF, apparently must have thought that he was just automatically going to be elected and that he did not have to do anything at all. Accordingly, he made no effort to campaign. Perks was therefore shocked when he finished fourth out of the five candidates and received only 942 votes out of the votes 3304 cast. http://www.uschess.org/votes2006.php Ever since, Perks has advocated that at the meeting in Chicago on August 12-13, 2006, the delegates find a way to overturn the election results. Here is the first posting by Grant Perks after the votes had been counted and he found out that he had lost: GrantPerks PostPosted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 4:14 pm "It ain't over 'til it's over. And I don't think the fat lady is scheduled to sing until the delegate's meeting. _________________ "Thanks Leroy" His closing signature above, "Thanks Leroy", is a sarcastic remark referring to the fact that he had believed that former USCF Kingmaker Leroy Dubeck was going to support Perks for election, but Dubeck supported another candidate instead. The latest plan by Perks, posted last night, if for the delegates to remove the entire currently elected Executive Board and to replace them with a "temporary executive committee". Talk about a sore looser!! Here is what Perks wrote: GrantPerks PostPosted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 8:26 pm "Mike, "As this point I feel less inclined to vote for not certifying the election than I do with revoking OMOV. For a bylaws revision I don't think there is enough time to come up with a permanent solution. Therefore, should the general agreement be that we need to scrap OMOV, I would suggest we just consider appointing a temporary executive committee to replace the current executive board.

Thank God a piece of trash like Grant Perks was not elected. Given Sam's penchant for filing frivilous lawsuits when decisions are not made in the way that he likes, it is hard to take him seriously when he calls someone else a "sore loser." Grant Perks has gotten even nittier. Now, he wants to change the Code of Ethics of the USCF by a telephone conference call with the 125 delegates before the meeting in Chicago in two weeks, so as to stop me from taking my seat on the board. Somebody should remind Grant that he finished in fourth place in the election and that he received 251 votes less than I did. Here is his latest posting this morning: GrantPerks PostPosted: Sat Jul 29, 2006 11:09 am "I preface my comments with saying that I am not advocating any course of action. Just pointing out the options. "As I understand, since the code of ethics is not part of the by-laws, changes to the code can be made by a simple majority. So the 30 days appeal process can be dropped or modified. "Also, Section 8 of the by-laws does allow for special delegates meetings via Webex or some other teleconferencing means. So we wouldn't have to wait until August 07. > Grant Perks has gotten even nittier.

So > we wouldn't have to wait until August 07. Grant Perks is simply exploring legally available courses of action as Sam Sloan always does whenever he is displeased with the results of any decision making process. Vince Hart is misleading us grossly: > Grant Perks is simply exploring legally available courses > of action as Sam Sloan always does whenever he is > displeased with the results of any decision making process. Like Gran Perks this time, Sam lost elections on the previous occasions, but he never attempted pathetic Grant Perks' pathetic actions. Of the two, it is Grant Perks who is the pitiful loser. Wlod "Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (wlod)" <Of the two, it is Grant Perks who is the pitiful loser. He is showing his true colors. One of the great things about having some one like Sam Sloan as the measuring stick for evil is that you can clearly see that the rest of them are not so pure as the virgins that they pretend to be. > [irrelevant] Somehow Internet should develop ways to get rid of such anonymous garbage like this Heimdal or rather a coward who is signing itself as "Heimdal". Wlod "Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (wlod)" <> Somehow Internet should develop > ways to get rid of such anonymous garbage like this Heimdal or rather > a coward who is signing itself as "Heimdal". As soon as they figure out a way to get rid of garbage like you, then I am sure they will work on the rest. Fortunately, when I want to get rid of you, I just flush my toilet. You go floating back to your people in Poland. > I just flush my toilet. Good, now you'r gone. End of story. Wlod "Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (wlod)" <> Good, now you'r gone. End of story. Go back to Poland, you greasy turds. Heimdal napisal(a): > Fortunately, when I want to get rid of you, I just flush my toilet. You go > floating back to your people in Poland. Herr Heimdal, you have written too much. Go away Cepie. "Jerzy" <> Herr Heimdal, you have written too much. Go away Cepie. Go back to Poland, you greasy turds. Some past Sam Sloan behavior: _ "Bill Brock has found an ally in [Howard Cheng]. [Howard Cheng] has become the alter ego and willing agent of Bill Brock. If [Howard Cheng] does not cease and desist from this activity, I will appeal to the higher authorities to remove the administrator status of [Howard Cheng] and ultimately to block [Howard Cheng] from Wikipedia." - Sam Sloan (07:04, 5 January 2006 (UTC)) _ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Howcheng/Archive3 _ _ _ "I am having a dispute with Howcheng and I request the Arbitration Committee to resolve it." - Sam Sloan _ Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration Sam Sloan against Howcheng regarding Tom Dorsch (soundly rejected - Dmcdevit 06:23, 11 February 2006) _ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration&dif f=39178616&oldid=39171201 "Louis Blair" <> Some past Sam Sloan behavior: > _ Get over it, dickbrain. Try and help Sloan accomplish something positive instead of dedicating your pathetic life to tearing him down. >Grant Perks, having lost the election, is trying to abolish the >Executive Board [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Perks was therefore shocked when he finished fourth out of the five >candidates and received only 942 votes out of the votes 3304 cast. Interesting election. 3304 ballots cast, 5460 votes. Was this a "vote for any 1 2/3 candidates" vote? > Interesting election. 3304 ballots cast, 5460 votes. Was this > a "vote for any 1 2/3 candidates" vote? It was "vote for two" but some people voted for just one. No big surprise. |
