I have to disagree with you on this. On occasion, he employs denial,
obfuscation, assertion, begging the question and non-sequitur..
Probably others.

You are right, Mike. Ad hom is merely his weapon of last resort. And

I wasn't aware I had recused myself. Anyway.. Mike demonstrated the

quite get it full face.

There was nothing to graze.

Phil has tried to explain why what was written

would not hold to the character of PT.

Sorry, that one already made the list. Do you agree, Mike?

WHat (sic) he writes is summarily

discounted because of a personal avarice hels (sic) towards him be one or
more posters here.

Personal "avarice?" Is there another 35K "deal memo" in the works?

It is a pity that people who wish to pose as

rational and thoughtful come accross (sic) like that.

Mike can be very honest at times when the evidence is clear. eg the
"Prozac" boat incident that left one detractor of mine looking silly
as the fell into my trap! :-)

How it felt to the folks on the depression newsgroup you posted your
false statement to hasn't been discussed.

Snipped remainder sorry and soggy pleading from an associate of
Truong.

Neil,
I has tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and I have NOT
attacked you, belittled you, condemned you in any way shape or form.
Why you continue to attack me when I have not attacked you or Mike or
anyone except Sloan is beyond me.
You try to silence discussion on any topic that the opinion does not
coincide with yours by way of personal attacks. What kind of person
would do that?

From the electronic evidence gathered by Mottershead, it appears Paul
Truong would do just that.

Nothing in what I saw of the Mottershead posting would I consider
condemning to Paul. To the contrary, I think it does more to vindicate
him.

Sorry Mike, it's a little windy just now around here. Anyways...

I've seen this one kicked around in web chat rooms:

The contention: In adapting a relatively new writing/communication
style-Magical Realism-to Internet chat rooms/bulletin boards, the
accused fake Sloan/Gorden/Lafferty/et. al. USCF EB member is so
brilliant and far ahead of his time that he is completely
misunderstood. This transcends mere satire, this an entire new genre,
shame on you, anyway! Thus, Mottershead's report is meaningless. Award
the accused USCF EB member the Nobel Prize immediately!

Magical Realism:

change. Period. Don't pander to counter-revolutionaries! Naaaa Naaaa
Naaaa Naaaa. I can't hear you. I can't hear you.
(29) Sloan is a perpetual political candidate, so all the fakes were
political satire and are protected free speech. Throw it all out.
Next case.
(30) Long-standing jealousy and resentment over spurned advances have
driven Sloan to evil acts. So ignore what Mottershead found.
(31) Phil and Rob "actually know the people involved and witness to
their character" Mottershead's document is illusion.
(32) The Russian Mob made all those posts. Remember, you didn't hear
nothin', you didn't see nothin', you won't say nothin'. Kapeesh?
(33) What are these stupid posts when balanced against millions in
revenue to the USCF. Begone, fool.
(34) Your just jealous. So is Mottershead. So shut up.
(35) Online harassment is not a crime and even if it is, it's rarely
prosecuted. So why worry about this one?
(36) Online harassment might be illegal, but the laws are obsolete. So
you fogies can just shut up.
