MORAL COURAGE (Cont'd)

Hypocrisy is far too weak a word here. Parr lecturing on moral
courage -- next we will be getting sermons against racial violence
from the Grand Dragon.

Speaking of moral courage, Larry, you've had four days to show yours
by replying to the below. So far youve been a complete no-show, just
as I predicted.

Larry, you cornered the market on unanswered questions ages ago. A
goodly chunk of Google's storage is devoted to all the ones I've asked
you over the years, that you have sidestepped, waffled on, or simply
ignored. You've been ignoring these below for several days now, so I
thought it worthwhile drawing them to your attention again.

One of the characteristics of ratpackers is moral cowardice.
They praise themselves under false names (other ratpackers and
semi-ratpackers have adopted false monickers) and they cannot
stand the intellectual heat in the kitchen. They beg off.

Well, Larry, let's see you demonstrate some moral courage then, and
show that you can stand up to the "intellectual heat," by answering
directly these recent questions of mine, which are only a small
sampling of the many I might post he

1. You and Richard Laurie have repeatedly claimed that I have
"maligned GM Evans' ability to analyze," yet you have never produced
anything to support it. Courage and honesty require that you either:

(a) prove your claim -- and I mean prove, not contrive some non-
existent "implication" -- or
(b) admit your lie.

2. You and Laurie have absurdly claimed that the "basis for this
assault appears to have been the book, 'Warriors of the Mind' by Keene
and Divinsky." Please tell us:

(a) Where is any quote from me supporting this absurd claim?
(b) How can a book that says nothing at all about GM Evans, either
directly or indirectly, be the basis for an attack on Evans?

3. Later you revised this claim, saying "Mr. Laurie is almost
certainly correct that Kingston's basis for the attack was Winter's
savage review of 'Warriors of the Mind.'" Please tell us:

(a) Which are you really saying is the basis: the book, or the
review?
(b) How can a review that never mentions GM Evans, either directly
or indirectly, of a book that never mentions GM Evans, either directly
or indirectly, be the basis for an attack on GM EVans?

4. You have set great store by Mr. Laurie's memory, which has been
shown to be seriously flawed. For example, referring to Evans' 1996
article, he wrote "GM Evans ... held forth the view that one or more
smoking guns would be found as the Soviet archives were explored."

(a) Please supply a quote from GM Evans' 1996 article that supports
Laurie's claim.
(b) Please reconcile Laurie's claim with Evan's 4/1997 statement
that "We doubt such a document will ever surface."

So go ahead, Larry. Here's your chance to prove your moral courage
and intellectual honesty right in front of God and this company. We
have every confidence that you will fail to reply, or if you do, it
will be such a marvel of evasion and doubletalk as to make an eel look
like a hedgehog, and Al Kelly sound like Hemingway.

Well, it looks like our Larry has fulfilled my prediction to the
letter. He never will get around to answering these highly
inconvenient questions. Larry's a great one for posturing about the
speck in his neighbor's eye, but should anyone mention the logs in his
own, he becomes silent. Such moral courage.
I'll have no computer access the rest of this week, thru Sunday.
Wouldn't surprise me if our Larry takes the opportunity to strut
around, smearing all and sundry, posing as the ominscient and sinless
stone-caster. Should be quite entertaining for the newsgroup.
