Uzytkownik "Taylor Kingston" napisal w wiadomosci ups.com... Seriously, Rob, ask yourself: who here acts more like a fascist-style propaganda ministry: Innes, Parr, Sloan et al, or those who try here to counter their habitual falsehoods? Oh c`mon Taylor you can see only the one side because you are on the other side. Undoubtedly Neil Brennan suffers a very deep obsession on Phil Innes. Neil Brennan should go to the psychiatrist to take his advice. You suffer a mild obsession on Larry Parr and Larry Parr suffers a mild obsession on you. Fake Sams and several morons have an obsession on the real Sam Sloan but the real Sam Sloan seems to have coldest blood from all of you guys. :-) |

Rob, one of the distinguishing characteristics of fascism is that under it, the publication of factual truth is suppressed in favor of propaganda. Lies, half-truths, fabrications and slanders that serve the interest of the ruling party are advanced at the expense of the public's right to factual information. Another typical fascist ploy is that normal definitions are stood on their heads, e.g. "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" (Orwell). The way you use such terms as "free," "persicution" [sic] and "iron fist" above indicates you may unwittingly be falling into that manner of speech, something I'm sure you will want to avoid. I dare say they know who they are and should they go unnamed? One is the initiator of the "Pledge" against Mr. Inness. Seriously, Rob, ask yourself: who here acts more like a fascist-style propaganda ministry: Innes, Parr, Sloan et al, or those who try here to counter their habitual falsehoods? Taylor, Open discussions are wonderful things. I appreciate your thoughtful reply without attacking my obvious typo! :-) There are ways to disagree. Opinions are destined to diverge from time to time. It is the ability of a rational mind to accept that there may be another answer to a problem than their own that works or works better that seperats free thinkers from the "sheep" in our Orwellean "Chess Animal Farm". I will confess from time to time becoming myoptic in my views. I hope that I would never quell honest,frank and polite discourse on any subject. I simply lament that so much time is wasted on so little. There tends to be less and less discussion about chess and more over personalities and personal,viscious attacks on character. Rob |

Rob, what you say applies well to matters of opinion and taste, or unsettled matters which are in doubt and where honest disagreement is possible. The main problem with the Innes/Parr/Sloan set is their continual fabrication of baseless nonsense, and continual falsification on matters which are not in doubt, matters of public record and established fact. Accepting that "opinions are destined to diverge" and that "there may be another answer to a problem" does not mean one must tolerate a falsehood, especially when that falsehood is a deliberate smear.

If "vicious attacks on character" are repugnant to you, then I would encourage you to dissociate yourself from those who habitually engage in them here. |

HABITUAL FALSEHOODS
Seriously, Rob, ask yourself: who here acts more like a fascist-style propaganda ministry: Innes, Parr, Sloan et al, or those who try here to counter their habitual falsehoods? -- Taylor Kingston NMnot Taylor Kingston speaks of countering habitual falsehoods. We await his explanation about how he uttered no falsehoods or attempted to mislead when he praised himself -- for Pete's sake! -- under the names of Paulie Graf and Xylothist. We know by now that he will merely repeat propagandistically that he is a man with "standards," but he will not tell us whether those standards include appearing here under false names in support of arguments he advanced under his real name. Nor, we may be sure, will he own up to his words of June 5, 2005, posted here at 5:23 p.m. Our class A-rated player wrote as follows: "Still, on the subject of playing strength, I have never claimed to be any great player, but I think with a peak Elo of 2300+, and a top ranking of, as I recall, #46 in the country, I was a tad better than weak." The official ratpacker defense of this ego-driven lie is that a group of undifferentiated players, hearing the statement, would NOT assume that the man was talking about OTB strength. "Oh, yeah," they tell us to imagine a conversation among a group of players standing in the foyer of, say, the Adams Mark at the World Open, "the guy can't be talking about his over-the-board strength when claiming he is 2300+ Elo. Must be talkin' about somethin' else." But yes, that's the ratpacker defense of NMnot Kingston's straightforward unadorned whopper, which he then later compounded by inventing explanations (dubbed The Horsefeathers Defense) that were not even the same as the later defenses mounted by his apologists.. And so it goes. Taylor Kingston wrote: Rob wrote: Taylor, Open discussions are wonderful things. I appreciate your thoughtful reply without attacking my obvious typo! :-) There are ways to disagree.

KINGSTON'S STANDARDS
As is his custom NMnot Taylor Kingston, the 1800-rated player who claimed to be 2300+ Elo, accuses this writer of falsifying matters that are not in doubt and of fabricating falsehoods. In the tradition of his role model Edward Winter, who accused GM Ray Keene of cooking statistics in "Warriors of the Mind" without offering examples, our NMnot makes his charges without offering evidence. Meanwhile, our NMnot will not explain why he invented false personae (Xylothist, Paulie Graf, et al.) to defend his arguments. He tells us that he has "standards" but will not answer whether those "standards" include inventing anonymice to defend himself.

A WOUND SO DEEP Parrthenon speaks: NMnot Taylor Kingston speaks of countering habitual falsehoods. We await his explanation about how he uttered no falsehoods or attempted to mislead when he praised himself -- for Pete's sake! -- under the names of Paulie Graf and Xylothist. Could Mr. Parr be so kind as to at least provide evidence that these posters named above -- Polygraph and Xylothist -- have posted from the same vicinity as Taylor Kingston? Not that that would prove anything, but at least it would be more substantive than a mere Larry Parr fantasy, based upon emptyness and pain. Our class A-rated player wrote as follows: "Still, on the subject of playing strength, I have never claimed to be any great player, but I think with a peak Elo of 2300+, and a top ranking of, as I recall, #46 in the country, I was a tad better than weak." Every time Mr. Parr goes down this road, he again embarasses only himself; TK now has a 50-0 record at GetClub.com, on top of his correspondence rating which puts the Evans ratpackers to shame. IMO, their only truly strong player is Larry Evans himself, yet the rat pack wannabes, like Mr. Parr and "IM" Innes, wish to pretend it is they who set the standard for chess play. LOL! As I see it, the most ludicrous claim to fame discussed here is not TK having mentioned his "2300+" rating, it is Ray Keene's self-description as "the world's foremost authority" on chess and mindsports. That was a real gas! In comparison, it is hardly worth mentioning boasts by such worthies as Phil Innes and Mig Greengard to near- IM status, let alone quibbling about the worth of a rating which was earned in correspondence play as opposed to OTB. As usual, Larry Parr is lost in a fog of delusion. -- help bot |

"... let us count the ways.... _ That Louis Blair has asked the same questions and repeated the same boilerplate in post after post, often on the same day. ..." - jr (13 Sep 2006 08:08:14 -0700) _ Does jr have any comment on Larry Parr behavior at the moment? |

Rob wrote: I call for the Chess Fachists to simply begin their own group and leave the rest of us to think and breath free, unimcumbered under the iron fists of their ridicule and persicutions for our opinions and ideas. Hey Robtroll: Do you really want the chess fascists, represented by the two liarries, parr and evans, to leave this forum? Those are the persons who brook no dissent from their point of view. Why, to someone like liarry parr, a disagreement within his clique is chewing meat 30 times rather than 32. As for us "ratpackers", you must have noticed how parr highlights our "debating" an issue amongst ourselves or failing to tow the line on the Innes pledge. That's good. We "ratpackers" are not of one mind ... not all cut from the same cloth. We can have varying opinions without resorting to name calling. And as for you calling on people who seem to disagree with you to leave thgis newsgroup, YOU Robtroll have become the very thing you so despise. I dare say they know who they are and should they go unnamed? One is the initiator of the "Pledge" against Mr. Inness. Oh look at this - Robtroll pretends to support Innes, yet cannot even spell his name correctly! A whole 5 letters ... wow, that must be tough! |
