What do these receipts show? What is on them? Has he ever shown these receipts to anyone, or scanned and uploaded them on the web?
That would have been proof.
If Gordon says he has the receipts, is enough proof me. If you're so egg-headed you want to see the scans, that's your problem. Let Mitchell proof he has the receipts.
So your only "proof" is the word of a director who has been caught lying multiple times in his work? Clearly, you don't understand what the word means.
And why in the world would
Mitchell have the receipts? I have payed for other peoples' lunches and dinners before. Since it's for someone else, I pay in cash, not check, and thus, don't keep any receipts.

I did not admit to this. You're putting words in my mouth (again).
Oh? Re-read what you wrote on the second page of this topic. While you downplayed their significance, at no point do you dispute those three points. The director himself doesn't offer any defense of those obvious and well-documented lies.
Unlike the restaurant, he doesn't have any phantom receipts to hide behind.

before the docu.
Oh, so you
do admit it after all?
td888 wrote:ShogunRua wrote:* Yes, Wiebe was actually recognized as a world record holder.
So, what does that prove?
Uh...did you even watch the documentary you claim to be defending? A major subplot was that TwinGalaxies supposedly didn't accept Wiebe's high score.
td888 wrote:ShogunRua wrote:* And finally yes, Mitchell's tape was actually legitimate.
So, what does that prove? You are missing the point. The fact the send a tape made him a douche.
The tape proves that Mitchell's new high score was legitimate, not cheated, as the documentary implied.
And by golly, you're right; Mitchell following the
standard submission rules that everyone else does for Twin Galaxies makes him a douche. To be a non-douche, he would have had to circumvent the normal publication route!
Yeah. Makes total sense. (Insert eye-roll)

No, they're not.
You just admitted above that they were!

No. he's obviously not.
Oh? Care to explain why you believe that?

td888 wrote:You're taking my words out of context. I said Walter is in the Mitchell camp. Therefore his actions and what he said about this matter cannot be taken as the plain truth.
Exactly what did I take out of context there? You call a respected, much-liked referee who has been doing his job for 30 years a liar. You dismiss the entire subforum he wrote documenting the falsehoods in "The King of Wrong".
So I ask you again...
where is your proof?And nope, repeating "Mitchell is a douche! Mitchell is a douche!" ten thousand times doesn't count.
td888 wrote:Which multiple ordinary folks? You haven't shown me anything, but one website from one guy.
During this exhaustive argument, I have linked to statements from former Twin Galaxies head referee
Walter Day, the assistant referee shown in the film (forgot his name), Billy Mitchell, video game filmmaker Jason Wilson, and others in the community.
There are actual pictures and write-ups supporting their word.
All you have linked to is a single informal interview with the director and his claims of a receipt that doesn't exist.
I rest my case.

But of course! I wouldn't expect anything more.
