Some notes:

a. Susan Polgar and Paul Truong are accused of some pretty serious things, and I don't mean the abuse allegations she mentions in the piece (which are plainly false).

b. The Chess Café knows this very well.

I'd go further into this but I'm not sure it's appropriate on this site: some of the background can be found on the website http://lizzyknowsall.blogspot.com (search, for instance, Truong) or here.

Obviously the specifics go way over my head. My purpose was simply to say that even if there are issues with the ECF, they could be a lot worse!

No problems, the issues over the pond are long and ongoing - some of the details just really don't belong on here is what I was trying to indicate but failing...
