I agree with Mr.
Laurie that the implication can be found in what NM
Kingston wrote,

There you have it, one and all, in black and white, Larry
Parr claims that Kingston is an NM!

By the standards of evidence usual in these groups, that is as rock
solid as proof gets. No evidence to the contrary will ever, ever,
ever, be allowed to contradict this. He admitted it, after all!

Mr. Parr has also "admitted" I am a historian. Larry occasionally see
the light.

Congratulations, NM Kingston!

And congratulations, Larry. It takes a big man to do that.

Now, if we can just get Neil Brennan to assert that Phil was rated
2400+, we can dump this absurd credentialism forever.

I'm not aware a "Neil Brennan" posts here.

As for the matter of 'credentialism', the tale of the Nearly an IM
2450 reminds me of the case of John Baker, a Marlovian wacko who
claimed to have a doctorate from Florida State. Baker routinely mocked
the educational background of other posters on the Shakespeare
newsgroup - until he was exposed as a fraud. Are you comfortable with
such behavior as Baker indulged in, Dr. Hyde?

Or more likely, not.
