The opposite of rabid anti-Soviet bias evidently is pro-Soviet bias,
largely exhibited here by both Jurgen and David Kane who lied
outright because no such directive was ever issued by me or
any other editor of Chess Life to any writer in this magazine..
In fact, the opposite was true. GM Evans was asked to tone down
his criticism of FIDE on several occasions..
Mr. Parr always seems to manage to get himself
confused. Above, we see that he has confounded
the FIDE with the Soviet Union, and in addition, he
misrepresented the facts regarding David Kane's
error and Mr. Jurgen's position.
The text above contains several points, most of
which Larry Parr was careful to avoid, for obvious
reasons:
1) the "red-baiting angle" or slant of CL magazine;
2) Larry Evans' wild, "fact-free" allegations;
3) the part about CL making it "mandatory;
4) Larry Evans' criticism of FIDE.
Apparently, Mr. Parr can only tackle the error
regarding Chess Lies allegedly making it
"mandatory" that articles have a "red-baiting"
angle.
Obviously, the narrow position that no
Chess Lies /editor/ ever gave such an order,
evades facing the real complaints he the
"red-baiting" slant, Mr. Evans' fact-freeness,
and so forth. Mr. Parr has singled out one
fabrication, and has somehow convinced
himself that it is all that really matters, for the
"game" he wants to play is the ad hominem
game. If Mr. Kane makes one mistake, he is
eliminated, according to Mr. Parr's strategy.
It's something akin to The Weakest Link, with
the notable exception that if any of the Evans
ratpackers makes a mistake, it doesn't count.
LOL!
Mr. Jurgen seems to feel that the rats have
a rabidly anti-Soviet bias, which he called
"antiquated". In response, Mr. Parr -- one of
the higher-up rats -- tells us that Mr. Jurgen is
pro-Soviet, which is "reasonable" position for
a rabidly anti-Soviet rat to take, even if he did
fail to give any support for the accusation. I
suppose most readers have duly noted the
dishonest ploy of always placing Mr. Jurgen's
name in the same part of the sentence as the
phrase "David Kane who lied". Long-time
observers of the ratpack will likely yawn and
note that this is just the sort of fundamental
dishonesty which is endemic to them.
What Mr. Jurgen may not know, is that even
today, "Russia" is perceived as a threat, and all
the mass media outlets here in the USA pound
away on a regular basis at Mr. Putin, cast as an
evil villain; sort of like Count Dracula, or Snidely
Whiplash. But it is true that the Evans clan is
stuck in the past; stuck in the Cold War era.
As for Mr. Kane, he messed up; there was no
"mandatory" order that Mr. Evans switch to
pounding away at the Soviet Union. Suffice it
to say that the overall slant of the magazine
was rabidly pro-Fischer, rabidly anti-Soviet, and
that there was a problem with being a member
of the FIDE, while at the same time bashing it
to smithereens in the pages of Chess Lies.
