I wonder if Mr. Parr is even aware that he keeps repeating the
mantra (that Taylor Kingston has posted "in praise of himself")
without having ever established this as fact. Perhaps because
he wishes it to be true, Mr. Parr believes that all others must be
as convinced as he is, himself.

As for me, I believe the anons Xylothist (whose postings I have
never seen) and Polly Graf (whose postings I cannot remember)
may or may not be Taylor Kingston. There is also the distinct
possibility that these postings are by someone else, who, like
Taylor Kingston, has taken exception to the Parrian claptrap.
Unless and until Mr. Parr can demonstrate that these postings
actually included "praise", and not merely agreement, his case
is easily dismissed as unsupported by evidence.

I am reminded of the many postings by Sam Sloan imposters,
quite a few of which fooled enough people to elicit criticism and
activate Sloan's standard defense team. Some of these posts
are constructed such that Sam himself if forced to point out the
reason they cannot be genuine, whereupon the focus shifts to
careful examination of headers. Nobody has yet suggested
the possibility that Sam Sloan himself is the culprit, even though
he seems desperate for attention, and this is as good a way as
any to get more of it.
