Hi John,
 
So you admit making a "common sense" edit of what Arlen sent you here!  You DID CHANGE ARLEN'S TEXT COPY!!  BUT  when it came to the bottom portion of the SAME STATEMENT which WAS also copied to you on my May 19 email.  You refuse to make any "common sense" edit to put back what was dropped off.
 
Please understand, that with you speaking out of BOTH  sides of your mouth on this issue, plus the personal insults, Most would allow me fair reason to feel you act in a biased way towards me.  Daren

John,
 
Prove myself "not to be scum"  . . . If I wish to "engage in discourse with decent people." I see.
 
I shall try and do that.  I hope that I will come across as "not scum" when I say:
 
I am a family man with three grown children, four grand children.
 
From being a Boy Scout, to Student Body President of my high school, to serving in various civic organizations, (Legal Aid,  ACORN, Boy Scouts of America, my church Board of Directors, & last year I was certified as a state ombudman inspector for nursing homes and senior assisted living accomadations),  I have tried to give of myself to my fellow human beings.
 
This "scum" was in Youth For Christ all through middle school and high school.  Below is a picture a few months ago from our school reunion website, of me with the leader of our city's Youth For Christ back then, Dick Jensen.   I was so happy to work with Jensen over the years, going back to the 1960's middle school days.. 
 
After that period, Jensen when on to work with the Billy Graham crusade for many years, and although recently retired as a Journalism Professor he continues his work in civic causes.

Dick and I both, in addition to being journalists in the mainstream media, have both served our community in a variety of organizations, www.firstfound.us/whoweare.htm
 
 Jensen is President of First Foundations, Inc.  Our history together and separate is to do good work striving for justice for our fellow man. 
 
Sometime (like now ) we take an unpopular stand.  I was with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in St. Augustine in 1967, when he got arrested.
 
I have been active in civil rights, and even in protection of gay rights.  Although the latter is highly unpopular here in the Bible belt of the south.
 
In my work I have been called insulting names & threatened by the likes of you John -- & also Jerry Hanken off and on.  Hanken threatened to kill me twice personally, and one time he told me he was going to arrange for someone else to do it!  These threats were made during our October phone call last year. 
 
He was screaming, yelling and sputtering, gasping for breath so bad, I thought he was going to pass out.  I even put the phone up to my little kitty cat's ear, and she jumped up and ran out of the room!
 
I will be prepared to meet any threats as I arrive at the US Open this year.
 
I have been to the gun range, and remain sharp in my weapon skills

Five members of my family, are in local law enforcement, my brother retired a few months ago. I will borrow this bullet proof vest.

Hanken has threatened to kill four different people on four different occasions that I know about so far.
 
Like from this archive NetChess news website:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040519103545/http://www.chessnetwork.com/ncn/pantsgate.htm
 
Now it was three years later that Dennis Barry's body was discovered, and few think Hanken had anything to do with the actual killing, despite his threats.  But his well documented threats are certainly meant by Hanken, to be taken seriously.
 
Hanken today remains the only CJA officer ever censured by the USCF Board.
 
So John, you call me scum . . . Well when I show up at the US Open . . . Try saying that to my face!
 
I will show you!
 
NOT by threatening to kick your ass, as Jerry Hanken* threatened GM Larry Evans; but I will show you by trying my best to do the right thing!
 
*= Hanken's legendary threats to GM Larry Evans are documented many places both on and off the Internet, like: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.politics/browse_thread/thread/511fbe7294663214/d5b922cda9cda53f?q=archive&rnum=1#d5b922cda9cda53f
 
I won't run on . . . But Dillinger is coming!
 
The days of trying to NOT publish some candidate's campaign statements, to Not have access to any CJA financial records, to keep secret any binding motions passed by the CJA Ex. Board, to fill some comm. positions in secret, etc. are numbered!
 
Warmest personal regards in the fellowship of chess,  Daren Dillinger   Vice-President

PS SIDE NOTE to other guys . . . This would be a looney email, filled with off-the-wall allegations, EXCEPT for the sad fact that ALL of the above is true.  D.D.
