This is not negotiable and any attempt to negotiate it will result in a full site ban.

Any further cases of off-topic religious analogies may also result in a full site ban.

The analogy and the resultant off-topic comments have been edited out of the above posts.

Unfortunately with you it's often hard to tell because your "jokes" are so indignant.

So I take it then that you agree that the video is in fact not Dosza? Unless someone is willing to produce at least some useful indication that the video may be Dosza I will title this split thread to reflect that the video is not Dosza - which seems to be the long-standing forum consensus.

[ER]

Careful with your use of the inverted comas!
if my "jokes" are indignant, then what are my jokes? if your answer is "stupid" or "dull" or "not funny" or all of the above or something of that sort I don't care!
After all people who love me laugh with my jokes!
I don't agree that the videotaped scene depicts or doesn't depict Dosza, as I stated very clearly during my conversation with Antichristos I am a doubter too
but on the other side of the fence! (*)

A short table of smileys and what I mean when I use them
= I love you
= I am joking
= I am joking and taking the mickey
& = Harmless but unprintable, actually means taking the mickey out of certain people - not necessarily members of cheschat.org but in a not uncertain terms way.

Please include them when you are quoting parts or whole of my posts, thanks in advance!

(*) On second thoughts I wish someone proves that the videotape in question IS NOT PCD!!! Then I can find one of Dosza's relatives either in Hungary or here
sue the living shit out the bastard who produced the thing and go halves in the compensation. OK I know there's not such a thing as dead persons' defamation
in the Australian law but we can claim something based upon damaging the reputation of the deceased person's family or something
I am studying this https://goo.gl/Q2rFUU at the moment and I will ask my lawyer for her opinion (analogy follows: she has barred me of asking her irrelevant questions - isn't she a bit like your treating A/C?)
but when it comes to make a buck out of something don't you worry, she just swoops!!! A legal eagle she is!

I think the issue is that even if attacks on Dosza damaged the reputation of his family in some way (which is unlikely to begin with), his reputation was so bad anyway that being falsely accused of being the chap in the video would have little impact on it.

I am unsure if that is a comment about my moderation of AC but if it is, a reminder that commenting about moderation is to occur in the Help and Feedback section only. This is necessary to stop threads from being derailed with arguments about the moderation of those threads. I'll ignore it this time, but only because AC is currently banned from this section. Do not reply to this paragraph.

I didn't know him well, but I did meet him and play him in a tournament game once. From my recollection of what he looked like, that's not him.

Got reminded of the video by checking out Bill J. Link.
Meeting Paul at chess events was always fun and so was playing against him.

Could be him.

Just a younger version. The face does look similar. So is the way he speaks.

This quotes from a post antichrist made in the other place (currently down) but in fact AC was just dragging a post by Peter Parr from here http://www.chesschat.org/showthread....l=1#post168156

It don't think it looks like Dosza though when I met him he was older and people change appearance with age. However if it was him then someone who knew him at the right age would have confirmned it by now.

The article suggests it's fictional, rather than a real arrest but of someone else, on the grounds of there being at least three cameras. Add in that there seem to be eight or nine actors in the clip, plus perhaps a director, and you have a lot of people who know the answer and haven't come forward.

The police uniforms may be a clue. Are they authentic? - if so you need either the real police or contacts in a TV/film production house to have access to them. Perhaps it's a police training video, with the "criminal" playing it for comic effort, which also explains how you get five uniformed officers and a detective to deal with a restaurant bill defaulter.

I hope they got the story how in the days of the old bank passbook he added a few extra noughts on to con the bank out of $2 000. The Commonwealth Bank if my memory is correct
