Poor, poor David Kane. He keeps getting confused, even
on the simplest of issues. SpamScone has not attacked
Evans in this thread, Mr. Kane; nor was it GM Evans who
introduced the term "dead drawn" here -- that was Larry Parr.

I questioned jr as to why he was unwilling to defend Evans'
stance and instead jumped on board with the lead ratpacker,
Larry Parr. He then went mum, possibly fearing that he has
already placed his secret identity in jeapardy. The key in
remembering who said what here is to remember that Evans
is not a direct participant, so it could not have been he who
shifted ground in response to criticisms in this thread. Thus,
it had to be either Larry Parr, or jr (or both). Let's not get too
down on Mr. Kane for this error, as the ratpackers are a
difficult group to keep track of, on account of their many ever-
changing positions on Fischer-related issues. They dance
about.

I knew when I wrote that Evans had lied that this could be
nitpicked. Even so, it was a handy example for the moment.
What all too often happens is, say, a broad claim that Evans
has lied is challenged, and then the first such example given
is picked apart, ignoring that there are numerous others to
take its place. Louis Blair, for instance, has documented a
substantial number of such lies here, and because Evans
and Parr (another such liar) are reluctant to admit mistakes,
these cannot be ignored as mere flubs. Even when
substantive evidence is shown to refute their vicarious claims,
these two turkeys will not back down -- their giant egos will
not allow it. Another example of someone who has
documented Evans' countless errors is Edward Winter, and
these can be found on the Web. Of course, in one article
Winter ridicules GM Evans such that I doubt his piece would
even bother differentiating between the deliberate lies and the
many errors of ignorance and carelessness. Winter did not
target any sinister motives -- only the misstatements of fact
seem to interest him, as a historian. Lies require a deliberate
attempt to deceive, and this is much tougher than pointing to
spelling mistakes.
