Yes just like you were going to reveal certain emails proving your
various attacks of brain flatulence. Somehow those never surfaced
either.

You're big on threats and weak on execution. After a point, no one
believes the little boy crying wolf, Phil.

Well, if I'm translating the 'English' of P Innes correctly, it seems
he's going to reveal an email HE sent. It's hardly a revelation that
the Brattleboro Bedlam sends crank-mail to the EB and USCF.

My translation of Innes English is that he will reveal a call by
Polgar to remove me from Chess Cafe.

** Actually, I never heard of that 'call' before. So is Spinrad pre-empting
some topic by speculating on it himself? His comprehension abilities seem to
vary according to topic - a common device here on usenet. Meanwhile
good old Jerry hob-nobs with someone who accused me of writing filth about
my own family - strangely, those messages were followed by an abuse anon who
only followed those exchanges... You know, if the hobnail fits...

If

** If! ) What do reader's think; will the next comment be a strawman?

that is what he was saying, it
doesn't make much sense to accuse me of some mysterious conflict of
interest; my supposed interest would be harmed by attacking Polgar.

** Dr Spinrad seems content to speculate on what I will have to say to the
degree that he will take over the prosecution of it himself.

I
would like to say that I am not accusing Polgar of trying to remove my
column;

** O Good! I am not accusing her of it either. But it is mighty curious that
Jerry Spinrad brought it up, since I didn't.

** Now... since none of us seem to be bring that up, is there any new
business here?

since Phil as has been pointed out seems constitutionally
incapable of saying anything clearly, it is hard to know how to
interpret his statements. The amusing thing is that he called for me
to reveal some secret incriminating information, when I have no
information which is not known to the entire group.

** The open 'secret' as Jerry Spinrad would have it, is that he is not a
disinterested party in the affaire-Polgar, but that I will reveal it? Is
that what he is saying? I merely asked that of Hanken or Spinrad, or of any
party at all, that they /declare/ their interest in either USCF politics, or
in its trading activities, especially when it concerns highly contentious
issues to do with other people's children, which is a normal standard among
real journalists. That is what it is, and requires no speculary 'ifs' as if
to lampoon people asking after public standards of DECENCY.

**Now while Jerry Spinrad accuses me of being unclear, what exactly has he
exhibited in this message other than 'ifs'? I note that he does not quote me
on any topic at all, and paraphrastically inserts terms like
'incriminating'!

INCRIMINATING! Ye Gods!

**But since he in effect is content to prosecute himself, let him continue
in his own clear English to actually say something clearly and why
incriminating came to his mind, when the context of Polgar's request was to
do with decent public expression surrounding United States Chess Federation,
by those in office, formally linked with it, who receive payment and other
favours resulting from their relations with it.

** If Doctor Spinrad cannot understand either the context, nor his own part
in it, that, I put to anyone's candid appreciation, is not a fault resting
on my doorstep.

I cannot understand either the context, nor my own part in it. I put
to anyone's candid appreciation, it is a fault resting on your
doorstop.

I am a disinterested party in the affair. I am a USCF member, and have
a column on Chess Cafe. Spit out whatever you are trying to imply in
calling me an interested party.

Jerry Spinrad

Jerry, in P Innes' world, you are either with him, the angel of light
and goodness, or a wicked person in the pay of enemies of all that's
right.
