Gee, when did I say that, Larry? I think your dyslexia is kicking up
again. I did and do praise the Winter article. But I did not
regurgitate it. "Praise" means to commend, to speak highly of.
"Regurgitate" means to vomit. A dictionary can aid you in grasping
these subtle distinctions.


TK: Larry -- please supply to the rec.games.chess readers the quote

RICHARD LAURIE AUTHORIZED ME TO RELEASE HIS LETTER TO TAYLOR KINGSTON
OVER A YEAR AGO

That's nice, Larry, but quite irrelevant. One does not prove Person
A said X by quoting Person B, though of course such factual
fundamentals are alien to you. Fortunately, I saved all my
correspondence with Mr. Laurie, and thus am able to quote what I
actually said. The relevant passages:

Kingston to Laurie, 21 February 2002:
"Two, you wrote 'I am always appalled by those who meet a solid
argument with a personal attack, like Edward Winter' ... I am not
aware of any personal attacks by Mr. Winter, though admittedly I do
not have the full voluminous record of words that have passed between
those two ..."

*** Please explain to us, Larry, how I can profess to know of the
existence of a "voluminous record of words that have passed between"
Winter and Evans, and yet be simultaneously professing ignorance of
their dispute? ***

Kingston to Laurie, 6 March 2002:
"[Y]our letter makes evident certain gaps in our understanding of
each other. I can only assume that you wrote it before going through
the material I sent you. I will now speak frankly.
"To deal with your final point first, you said: 'I am troubled by
your bald assertion that you are not aware of the battle between Evans
and Winter.'
"That is a complete misreading on your part. I made no such
statement. If you will re-check my message of 2/12/2002, you will see
that the relevant portion says:

"'Also I am not aware of any personal attacks by Mr. Winter, though
admittedly I do not have the full voluminous record of words that have
passed between those two ...'

"This cannot be interpreted as pretended ignorance of the Winter-
Evans dispute. I am well aware of the public antipathy between them
for perhaps two years or more."

*** end excerpts from 2002 correspondence ***

So you see, Larry, in claiming that I made a "bald assertion that
you are not aware of the battle between Evans and Winter," Mr. Laurie
committed a plain falsehood, one of several. Which you, of course,
were only too eager to believe and spread.
I must say, it's rather satisfying to see one liar deceived by
another.
