Why don't people like that get tossed from said club?

I wouldn't really worry about it.  Hardly anyone ever gets arrested or prosecuted for those sorts of simple batteries between adult males.  Plus if anyone were to be "pressing charges" against you for a fight then the other members of the club would most likely ostracize him as a snitch and a pu$$y..

So, I'd say weigh your options and take your shot.  That's my chess advice for the day.

Or just run him down with your Tan Caddy convertible, when no one is looking.

I hate to tell you this but you actually helped him. You got his USCF rating reduced so the next time he enters a tournament he will get matched up against weaker players and as a result he will pick up a few easy points and possibly win the tournament.

True. If he's good enough to have a high rating, he should have any problem raising it back up again, so no damage done.
