THIS IS RICH

#3 - Steven Dowd forged my name.

I recently received by email a wholly rational explanation of
the above charge, which, it goes without saying, contradicted
and refuted Mr. Parr's lunacy on this matter convincingly. -- Greg
Kennedy

Perhaps Mr. Dowd (aka "I use no aliases" jamesrynd) would care
to share his "wholly rational explanation" of why he used my name
without my permission at a university website. Some of us may
be harder to convince than his ally.

Or this explanation confidential, for Bot's eyes only?

Did he blame his employment while dressed in a tuxedo, Larry?

You've repeated this so many times - can't you just cut-and-paste from
your "I hate Greg Kennedy" file or the 100+ former posts you've told
this enchanting tale in? Or perhaps you could simply assign a number
to your most popular tirades:

#1 - Taylor Kingston isn't a 2300.

#2 - Greg Kennedy can't spell and isn't as good as Fischer.

#3 - Steven Dowd forged my name.

#4 - Larry Evans has always been treated unfairly.

#5 - Bill Brock is angry because he lost a chess match to Sam Sloan.

#6 - I got fired from the USCF for having high moral standards, not
because I was a poor editor.

#7 - I have it from a good source that the USCF will fold in a day or
two. Or at least, I hope so. I've been waiting a hell of a long time
for my payback.

and your newest:

#8 - Hey, I like this Repa fellow! He's not prejudiced, he hates
everybody!

Indeed, the ever-monotonous Larry Parr seems unable to
sing any new tunes in these last several years of his mental
decline. But I wonder how much of even his well-rehearsed
stuff has anything of substance to it.

#1: Is, for instance, Taylor Kingston really as weak as
LP would have everyone believe? I seriously doubt it.
Few players ever fall very great distances from their
utmost peaks.

#2: Does the mysterious Greg Kennedy really work at
some factory in Indiana? I won't even bother to question
who is better, he or GM Fischer, for despite a certain
falling off exhibited in 1992, the latter remains in a class
by himself, followed closely by GMs Kramnik and
Kasparov.

#3: Did Steven Dowd really forge Larry Parr's infamous
name? To what end? And why doesn't anyone seem to
know who SD really is?

#4: Was Larry Evans ever treated unfairly? [Yes, I think
he was. It was that scoundrel Mr. Winter what done it,
when he skillfully annihilated the senile grandmaster
for what amounts to a series of spelling errors and
wrong dates. To me, this merely speaks of the rash
unkindness of EW, for almost everyone understands
that old grandmasters are not immune to carelessness
and confounding of dates, any more than they are
immune to refutation of their analysis by Fritz.]

#5: As to the charge regarding a frequent recounting
of Sam Sloan's great victory, I also take exception here;
for what good is a war if there are no spoils in which
to partake afterward? And what were the stakes of
this famous conflict? Bragging rights, mainly. No, I
say that Sam Sloan and his fellows all have every
right to rejoice in his brilliant victory, for to the victors,
belong the spoils. Such are -- and always have been --
the "rules" of war.

#6: Now, as for Mr. Parr's famous speech regarding
the finger-return incident and his subsequent firing from
the editorship at the USCF, I don't see that as in any way
demonstrating a moral stance. If anything, we may recall
that LP himself told us that no self-respecting editor
could possibly long survive under the conditions he often
described as existing *during* his tenure. If anything, we
may conclude that Mr. Parr lacked any such moral
fortitude as may have given him courage to up and quit
on his own accord, preferring instead to wait until he was
summarily dismissed -- undoubtedly over a difference of
opinion on some key issues.

#7: Alas, the day will never come that Mr. Parr will see
any real retribution for what he perceives as wrongs
committed against him. The USCF is an organization,
and as such it will in all likelihood continue its miserable
existence long after we are all dead and gone. The best
that could be hoped for is that the evil bosses who plagued
Mr. Parr's chess life during those years will -- or more
likely, already have -- ultimately get what they deserve.
But that is poor math, for two wrongs do not make any
thing right.

#8: I think Mr. Parr and Master Repa will get along
famously, for they have much in common. For one thing,
a decidedly irrational attitude toward issues on which
they may have some particular opinion. And add to this
that they both share the same lack of mental competence,
the same complete inability to grasp concepts of logic
and reason. In sum, the only obstacle to their relationship's
further intimacy is geography, for one lives in the vast North,
while the other dwells halfway 'round the globe, near the
equator. It is a good thing to have friends, with whom to
share commonalities. And while Master Repa may benefit
due to his loneliness, Mr. Parr in kind may benefit to a
certain extent by living bicuriously through him.
