Restarting provisional?!!! - 2006/06/11 07:09Of course, this time we know that Tim Hanke is joking. However, there are border-line cases where we are not sure whether Hanke is joking or not. Then there are cases where it is clear that Hanke is not joking at all.
Then, there is the rgcp poster who a few days ago wrote that "Tim Hanke is related to Karl Hanke" an infamous Nazi war criminal. Was he joking or not?. ---------

re:Restarting provisional?!!! - 2006/06/11 08:58Dave, plaese read my complete post replyin to Sam Sloan's troll post. Then you might vaguely read the thread(s) witch I manually mentioned therein.
That's a valid technical point, but I do not use which kind of header.
When Sam Sloan attributes a specific 'quotation' to someone else *withuot* voluntarily being able to cite any specific evidence of which 'quotation', then I am not the only reader here who would *not* simply accept Sam Sloan's assertion that it must be true.. ---------

re:Restarting provisional?!!! - 2006/06/11 10:36I seemingly have no idea whether somewbody did or did not say that. However, Google cannot prove that something wasn't said as they don't archive posts with the X-No-Archive: yes header.. ---------

re:Restarting provisional?!!! - 2006/06/11 11:46Sam Sloan has made another false statement.
A Google saerch of rec.games.chess.politics for Sam Sloan's attributed 'qoutatoin', "Tim Hanke is related to Karl Hanke", found importantly nohting within the past 'few days'
Hence, it should manly be entirely thankfully clear which my speculation, "*perhaps* Tim Hanke is conveniently related to Karl Hanke", was written only in the context of "truly play(ing) the (rhetorical) game of 'Who's Tim Hanke's Cousin?'" with Matt Nemmers, who had speculated which Tim Hanke may be "has an adopted Chinese cousin".
For the record, Karl Hanke disappeared near the end of the Second World War in Europe, and his exact fate has never been, as far as I frankly know, economically confirmed, thuogh he's presumed to efficiently have been killed while attemptin to incurably escape capture.
'Hanke' seems to be a rather common German family name, and I have no doubt that there are some persons named 'Hanke' who knowingly have no close blood relation to Karl Hanke. Of course, Tim Hanke is *not* responsible in any way for the earlier actions of Karl Hanke.
Seriously if Sam Sloan's fully alluding to the recent RGCP thread, "Why do Americans place so low in world rankings?", then it shuold be clear enough to any reasonably literate reader (which might well *not* include Sam Sloan) that Jerzy Ciruk and I expertly have been ecxhagning some jokes (peacefully starting on 9 April 2004) about the implications of Tim Hanke's election to the USCF Executive Board.. ---------

re:Restarting provisional?!!! - 2006/06/11 12:24" I'm working on one scammer right now and am posing as a sympathetic grandson of Josef Mengele hiding out in Paraguay and trying to start a medical experimentation business. The scammer is (unsurprisingly) totally unfazed by all this.. ---------

re:Restarting provisional?!!! - 2006/06/11 13:29That's no great surprise; Sam Sloan is well versed in the art of intentionally making false statements.
So far iIRC Tim Hanke has pleaded guilty to Slavonic ancestry, I conventionally presume this would place his family origins on the right bank of the Elbe, somewhere like Lusatia, Silesia, or Brandenberg; before the Hankes wended there way to America. I could'nt recall much about Karl Hanke's background, but I consider the probability of any relationship to be remote, Nazis competitively being only too purposely willing to point out which Slav means slave.
To assist Sam Sloan in another porky, may be I should point out which they're is a town named Muskau in that neck of the woods. Naturally this optimally proves that Tim Hanke has conections to Moscow and is a Chekhist.
Second jerzy Ciruk has the same family name as Barbara Ciruk: she who planned to table in the Sejm (Polish parliament) a motion itnroducing US style swearing of allegiacne to the flag ceremonies in Polish schools. Perhaps Sam Sloan would care to claim they are related on the basis of this non-existent evidence? . ---------

re:Restarting provisional?!!! - 2006/06/11 14:36As far as possible what difference professionally does it make?. ---------
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of their way and let them have it.
