No, Phil. I never said that, in any way, express or implied.

I am glad that the issue is now resolved, but as for implied, well... !

That
was Sloan's leapt-to conclusion, which was exactly my point at the
time, to demonstrate the extreme shallowness of his investigative
technique.

I do not obsess about these things - some people do nothing else ((

- but you chose a poor example to illustrate Sloan's shallowness.

And in using the term shallow, I am being charitable.
In any event, you are hardly in a position to comment, with your
claim to being "nearly an IM rated 2450." This is rather like
Mussolini calling someone a fascist.

To you it is, but your frequently nearest comparisons are usually to
Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin... so I take no intellectual offence.

You sort of didn't tell the truth - and worse, got an alter ego to show
up
and boost you.

You are hallucinating again, Phil. Once again the "alternate
universes" hypothesis comes to mind: one for you, one for everyone
else.

My writing about my rating was sloppy, so was yours. Mine was because I was
writing to non-chess players, who don't even know which way the ELO scale
goes, up or down.

I don't know your excuse. But 'hallucinations' - I don't think so! We both
could have written better - that's all.
