This thread reminded me of the Darren Woods cheating thread in HSNL (
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19...ammer-1097739/), so I decided to reread the thread.
I noticed a bunch of similiarities in their posts "defending themselves";
- Neither person directly declares their innocense, its weird to me that in so large text neither player directly says; "All these allegations are false" or something similar
- They both use the fact that they are too good to cheat in such a poor manner. "If I would have cheated it would not have been in such a obvious manner".
- Both of them decline the chance to clear their name by being 100% transparent, (Darren Woods was offered to send full hand history for analysis with 3rd party and turned it down. Joshua was offered a deal from WCG to clear his name)
- They both appeal to emotion that they are being prosecuted and analogies to witch-hunting
I didnt spend too much time to analyze, but my impression was that they came off very similiar so thought Id share.
