Default "we the chess public..."




J.D. Walker:

Mike Murray:

J.D. Walker:

Could anyone explain to me the sense of P Innes' claim to /be/ "we the
chess public?" Is this claim made in the sense of the Royal We? Or
perhaps it is a symptom of multiple personality disorder. Does P Innes
actually hear voices in his head which induce him to embrace the
illusion that he /IS/ the entire chess public?


Your analysis ignores the possibility that he may actually have two
heads. This would explain a number of things.


I have seen a photo of P Innes once. I saw no trace of anything but a
solitary head. Are you suggesting a hidden head?


That's how he manages to talk with his head stuck up his ass.

Great. P Innes is now going to rant that I made this post. :-)

Brian,
Why do you have an axe to grind and why are you determined to assume
the ragged garmets of a howling rabble? Where is your dog in this
matter? Where do you seek to gain in this?

While you are asking questions, would you clarify please just what
relationships, business or otherwise, you have with Paul Truong and
Susan Polgar?

What a strange question! If you believe that Paul Truong repeatedly
made the offensive posts, and then lied about the matter, shouldn't
you be for removing him from the board without seeking to gain in any
way except for getting a dishonest person removed from office?

You may be (desperately, in my opinion) clinging to a belief in Paul's
innocence in this matter. I cannot believe that anyone could contend
that this innocence is obvious, however, after several expert reports
indicating that he is guilty, and no evidence presented in an open
forum on the other side. Please, feel free to try to convince us of
his innocence, but it is absurd to say that those who want to see him
removed must be acting out of some base motive.

How odd you would seek to answer a question directed at another.
But I know Paul and Susan personally and have found them to be very
honorable.
I have heard accusations , but no evidence. Have you?


The USCF has no conclusive evidence. That is why ther have been a
total of four "experts" As Eisenstein once said if he were wrong it
would have taken only one expert to disprove him.

NNES HIRED TO "CARE ABOUT CHESS"


[Should be "INNES"]


CROSSVILLE, TN - The United States Chess Federation announced today
that it had hired internationally known


[Should be "renowned"]


Nearly an IM Philip Keith Innes
to "care about chess in the US", according to USCF Executive Director
Bill Hall. "Nearly an IM Innes has shown a great deal of caring
about US chess, despite his complete absence from organized chess play
or governance, and we at the USCF feel having him care about US chess
is worth the expense of paying him", Hall said. "He KNOWS at
least two native born GMs - in fact the only two the US has, and so he
brings a tremendous background experience to his caring", added USCF
Executive Board Member Don Schultz.

Innes, who posseses the prestigious Nearly an IM title, lives in
Brattleboro, Vermont, where he divides his time between caring about
US chess and refusing to become a member of his local chess club, state
chess body, Chess Journalists of America, and USCF. The terms of the
deal between Innes and USCF are
not officially known, but off the record sources reveal that Innes
will be required to stop posting to newsgroups.


Nonsense. There is nothing in the (very lucrative)
contract which prohibits nearly-IMnes from posing
-- I mean posting -- anonymously. This was a hotly
debated point, in view of PI's other lucrative contracts
(with the Evans ratpack and with Rob da robber
Mitchell, to name but two).


"We were concerned that
Nearly an IM Innes' newsgroup posts might blunt the full impact of his
caring about US chess," said USCF Executive Board Member Joel
Channing,
"since they could be read by the unimformed as semiliterate, whining
screeds."


Good point; but I think it's worth the risk.
After all, if nearly-IMnes is not paid to care
about chess, then just who do we, the chess
players, expect to do it for us?

Typically, *everybody* wants chess to get
cared about, but no one is willing to pick up
the tab; pay the piper. Look, this is America;
if you want to protect democracy, you have
learn that freedom comes at a price (which
varies, depending on which politicians you
are paying off). I say pay the man, and get
him a proof-reader who speaks Bochi.

Honorable, eh? Please explain just who is
responsible for the lies and fabrications which
constitute the bulk of SP Web site.

Personally, I find the idea, that it is not
possible to "spoof" this or that, unconvincing;
HOWEVER...

It is impossible to ignore the fact that SP
and/or PT has/have zero in the way of
"honor", after perusing that atrocious site.
I find it fits well with the sort of character
who would impersonate others elsewhere,
just as SP "impersonates" others by
grabbing at the credit for others'
accomplishments-- including her own sister,
Judit Polgar.

When I snap my fingers, you will awaken
and no longer be blinded by sheer idiocy. I
will first count backwards from infinity, so
you have time to acclimate yourself with
reality a bit... .
