Jim,
There are numerous contenders for the title of "Dumbest Innes Post".
Here are a few of them:
- Claiming the King James translators chose the texts that constitute
the Bible.
- Passing off a weak paraphrase of a statement by George Orwell and
claiming it was a well-known "quotation".
- Claiming Old English was spoken into the 18th century.
- Describing Early Christians as "animists".
- Informing us all the author of the Shakespeare canon believed in
"non-Pauline
Christianity".
- Drug testing in sports violates the unlawful search and seizure
amendment to the US Constitution.
- Putting a MS in a Codex (a bound manuscript) is "publishing" it.
- Virginia Woolf had a grandchild, and Phil spoke to him, despite Woolf
dying childless.
- There is a "British Language", a tongue with a "negative case", and
strange words like "campel", "lingusit", "secuter", etc.
- The words "love" and "leave" are the same in Russian, so one could
translate "love it or leave it" without changing the verb.
- The chess term "pawn and two moves" means 'play with the Black
pieces'.
- Philip Keith Innes was "almost an IM", despite not getting over BCF
145 or USCF 2200.
- Posting a death threat in the same post he claims was being
"monitored by the FBI."
- "In short: I have not found a single first-hand refererence nor
artifact which would verify that the event [1904 Cambridge Springs
International Chess Tournament] ever took place."
- "A humanitarian appeal....by Goran Tomic."
- And his latest entry? Praising a writer in a published interview, and
then smearing that same writer as a "cheap journalist" a few months
later for writing the articles you once praised him for!
