No one on the pro-life side (at the time you were exposed) stepped 
forward to state that they believed you and "Dennis Hall" were 
two different people.

I heard from at least one pro-life person who said (under conditions 
of anonymity -- sigh) they also believed you were "Dennis Hall".

You have failed to show that the pro-life side thought you were 
not "Dennis Hall"

One person mistakenly used the word documentation in reference to 
verbal verification made by phone.  That person quickly corrected 
the error after I (not you) called them on the error.  You continued on 
for days harping about "documentation" long after the correction was made.

You did not cause the retraction of the word "documentation".

As far as I can tell this was either an actual joke at your expense 
or sincere confusion on the part of others due to your previous 
behaviour with regards to multiple personas.
I never confused you with Conrad Vincent as I saw no evidence for it 
myself.

This prank was short-lived.  The truth that you are not Conrad Vincent 
is long-lived.  Truth outlives pranks.  Your "Dennis Hall" prank 
was short-lived.  The truth that you were posting as "Dennis Hall" 
is long-lived.  Truth outlives pranks.

At any rate, you have told something resembling the truth here.
Congratulations!

>>Tell you what: we'll all quit your Hall/Chaney fiasco if YOU explain:

>>(1) Why Dennis Hall posted from an account owned by you.

>I was never IN the class where he had the account. 

A school official told me you were enrolled in that class.

Total Score: -2

I note that you always reply that you weren't in the class, but you 
never reply that you were not issued that account.  Is this lying
by omission?  Perhaps you dropped the course but were able to retain 
the account?  Most of the accounts in that two-semester class 
were seldom if ever used.  (If lying by omission, you get an extra 
minus 1/2 for cleverness.)

>>(2) Why you both misspell "intelligent" and "harass".

I don't recall "Dennis Hall" using the word intelligent.  
Can someone back that one up?  Har"r"ass -- definitely.

>I don't know what he misspells. What do YOU misspell? 

False.  You know EXACTLY what he misspells.  You were there remember?

Total Score: -3

>>(3) Why Dennis Hall doesn't post anymore.

>I don't know! He had an account on some cs 60 class. I was never IN a
>cs 60 class then. 

Total Score: -4

>Maybe his account expired, like mine in cs35a216, did? Maybe he has no
>friends in his own camp and did a Siren - he split? 

If you're here, he's here.  Total Score: -5

>>(4) Wny you don't convince Dennis Hall to get on the net and debate with
>>you, or otherwise speak on this same subject you whine about daily.
>>*Especially* since you claimed to "know" him (like I, for instance,
>>"know" my foot.)

>If he had an account, I would. 

He has every account you have. So he has an account.  Total Score: -6 
(Also, you didn't debate him before, so the "I would" is suspect.)

>But if you think I'm letting him get near my account, I've got
>seafront land in the Sahara to sell you. 

He's as near your account as you are.  Total Score: -7

>I am not his keeper. 

He's not your brother, he's you!   You can't not keep yourself!
Total Score: -8


Well, Steve.  I'm afraid you have done miserably 
in our game of ***TELL THE TRUTH***.
(The idea is to try and get the most positive score.)


Try again next month!
