Default The Euphemism in Botvinnik

Wow bot, you are usually FOS but on the level of a "delightful
blowhard ala Bogo" versus "jackass blowhard ala P Innes," to paraphase
TK himself, but this time you really crossed the line.

Flower up that prose a little and you will be Chess Two in no time.


Prose? (What, not /poetry/?)

Hey, I writes in plain English, I does. While that
other bloke, Phil IMnes, writes in gibberish only a
nother-nutter can understand. Maybe you can
answer the question TK ducked: why the special
attention paid to MB? Both the rat pack and TK
seem to be in cahoots on this one; I wouldn't want
to brand TK a mindless parrot or accuse him of
mindless parrotry or brown-nosing without first
giving him a chance to explain his, um, parrotry
and brown-nosing. (One of these days I may
write up a nice refutation of his brown-nosing in
his famous articles regarding the alleged tossing
of games, but not today.)

Got an alternate explanation (a rational one, I
mean) for the constant asides to "Western" stuff
while TK is supposedly discussing other issues?
It looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, but
can it quack? Looks to be rabid anti-Soviet bias
infiltrating, well, just about everything. (Me? I like
Russia. In fact, I keep reading about how it has
all sorts of natural resources "we" need, like oil
and gas. I say "we" buy 'em out; just borrow a
few trillion dollars from the Arabs or the Chinese.
Hey-- it worked with Alaska.)
