Subject: Off topic: Chess politics & the "much loved" Sam Sloan

I can't resist my curiosity.

I don't know doodah about chess politics but I really wanna know who this Sam
Sloan guy is and why does he have this affinity for US Chess Live (smell the
sarcasm) and why do soooooo many people love him so (breeeeeeeeath in deep!)

Jeroen Van Dork flames him sometimes but then in my honest opinion Van Dork
never has anything other than "smart"-cracks and flames to post, so that's not
an issue.
Sometimes Dork answers questions like "What is a ply?" and he hangs out a lot
too so we can't rule him out totally I guess.

However, the thing that gets me is that I've seen several regulars and even well
known and respected names like Dr.Hyatt flame this guy.

I checked out Sloan's web page briefly. He's looks nerdy and has some retro midi
files there - (he's got some hot chess chicks there too, so I wasn't totally
disappointed!)

Can somebody sum this up in just a few words please?
