Nonsense. In my 10 Jan 2007 22:47:43 -0800 note
(reproduced below), I wrote absolutely nothing to indicate
that helpbot supported my "attack on Phil Innes". I
indicated that helpbot did not seem to have a clear
recollection of the ear-bending quote. That is what helpbot
itself indicated. I supplied the ear-bending quote. That is
all.

7 That's strange! I thought Dr. Blair was supporting me by
7 referring to the series of 'purported' e-mails via an
7 illustration of the bent-ear anecdote, which are even
7 acknowledged by Tinker Taylor.
7
7 And though this is the only reason Tinker Taylor
7 mentioned in his message that would tempt him to go, it
7 conclusively proves me wrong and indeed insane in
7 saying that this is the only reason Tinker Taylor would go,
7 because Tinker Taylor did not use those exact words,
7 'only reason'. ...

THE BUTCHER STRIKES AGAIN

Those last two postings by Louis Blair perfectly demonstrate
the point I made earlier about his cut-and-paste activities having
the result -- whether intentional or the result of his own ineptitude
-- of sometimes *butchering* what others have written.

The fact remains, no matter how hard Dr. Blair tries to distort
it, that all of my comments related to what was being discussed
at the time, to Phil Innes' complaints about the subject of Taylor
Kingston's emails conflicting with his public position, and in
particular, the subject of denying the rights of certain authors
to defend themselves at the ChessCafe Web site.

Contrary to what The Butcher wrote, there is certainly nothing
"natural" about twisting this into something it is not; into such as
his distorted mess whereby I had "forgotten" a post which did not
even discuss the matter in question. This is utter nonsense from
Louis Blair. The Google archives will show *precisely* what I had
been discussing with Phil Innes, and it certainly was nothing to
do with Dr. Blair's peculiar butchery.

I am not denying or trying to contradict a relationship of

Can't say as I do. Did PI actually already
post what he and TK are fussing over? An
email in which TK supposedly repudiated
the rights of certain writers to defend
themselves against criticism on some Web
site? The phrase 'bend his ear' rings familiar."
- helpbot (10 Jan 2007 21:10:25 -0800)
_
I perceived the note as indicating that helpbot did not
precisely remember the ear-bending quote, and,
consequently, I undertook to remind helpbot about
how the quote went. I saw no need to bother with
helpbot's other questions which helpbot could answer
for itself without further assistance from me.
