Well, it does seem like an obsession. Have you posted about anything else?

And if I remember correctly, you did give it a bit of air time.

Stay squirrelly,

BZ


Now THAT I will admit to BrownZeroed: the deaths of Theresa and Jeremy have been an "obsession" for me since first hearing about it here at RI back in July. But what can I say, the story and Theresa's blog have all the hallmarks of what brought me to Rigorous Intuition in the first place: 911 truth and it's shady movementeers, eerie synchronicity, mind kontrol allegations, SRA allegations, magickal workings, Rupert Sheldrake's morphic fields and hypothesis of formative causation, the cult of scientology, Beck ... and on and on.

Come to think of it ... I've posted here at RI on just about all of those topics.

As I've said before ... this past summer I watched my two favorite websites seemingly devolve before my very eyes. Yeah, I'm obsessed. I've been a self-proclaimed Anomalomaniac (I'm in AA - Anomalists Anonymous) for years.

What topics do you usually post about here? I'll do a little forum searching and see.

Sorry if I get squirrelly when people seem to taking pot shots at me.

Have a great weekend!

I look forward to the conjecture.

Sorry for my suggestive sentence. I see you are all over the map.

Certainly there are folks around here who have favorite topics. That's all I meant by my statement; was wondering what your favorites were.

If home schoolers are tested on "Intelligent Design" and go on to Liberty or Regents for their Graduate studies.

People know this.

Good article on the google-hit manipulation though.

sMiles, I presume that one you are talking about is this one and perhaps just the forum. Can you say more about this? I'm genuinely puzzled about some things I'm seeing and not sure how to make sense of them.

Good morning BZ and all.

Okay Brownzeroed, I finally understand why you jumped on me regarding the Theremy references and why you'd figure I might "conjecture" about the topics you post on here...

Because Ty incorporated you into the story and this angered you:

http://dreamsendweb.com/2007/09/01/luxx ... aum-punts/
http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/v ... 978#123978

... and most recently...

http://dreamsend2.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=171
http://dreamsend2.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=167

What those most recent threads by Ty also reminded me about was that when I posted my quip about the Blog Readability Scam article leading with a "shades of Theremy" presumed dead person scam, was that the WIRED blogger the Guardian article author fingers as the first person to post to the internet the location of this hidden scam test url is also the person who posted a somewhat strangely worded obit about Jeremy Blake:

There's no link I can find from the main pages of the site to the "Blog Readability" test (a search on the phrase turns up zero results; Google concurs, finding only the page itself).

Yet on November 2, Wired's Underwire blog had a post triumphantly noting how New Scientist and the Huffington Post - and the Underwire blog itself - were "not as smart as we thought". That post is the first citation I can find via Technorati linking to the "Blog Readability Test" URL - http://www.criticsrant.com/bb/reading_level.aspx. And of course, Wired is a pretty high-influence blog. Post something there and quite a few people will pick it up.

Sonia Zjawinski, who wrote the post, tells me that while she usually aims to credit the sources of her posts, "I actually have no clue where I found this. It was just one of those dumb things you come across when skimming blogs and websites."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/20 ... eadability
http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/11 ... ire-n.html


A week after discovering his longtime girlfriend committed suicide, artist (he created Beck's Sea Change album cover, seen here.) and Rockstar Games designer Jeremy Blake piled his clothes, wallet, and a note under the boardwalk at Rockaway Beach in New York and walked into the Atlantic Ocean. The New York Police Department sent a scuba team into the waters where the 35-year-old, featured in Wired two years ago, was last seen but could not find his body. Yesterday, it was announced that a body caught (<--this word is struck through in the original) found by fisherman on July 22nd is that of the famed artist.

http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/08 ... of-ch.html


When I posted my comment about the opening of the Guardian reminding me of Theresa Duncan's and Jeremy Blake's deaths it must have been influenced by what I'd already forgotten which was this article's pointing out that the prime suspect for releasing the meme of this Blog Readability scam has also written that strangely worded (in poor taste) bit about Blake's body being "caught" by fishermen.

As for conjecturing about you BZ ... I'm not into accusing people without evidence and I try to take them at their word. I never saw the video that became so contentious between you and Ty. I believe you've said you were acquainted with Theresa through your video/film contacts. So it's all the easier for me to understand your being upset at becoming linked to the story.

Now, without deliberately trying to link you to the story and trying desperately not to sound accusatory, may I politely inquire as to what you deleted from this old thread (circa September 2006) on the morning of July 24th, 2007 ... the day that most of us would first learn about Theresa Duncan and her tragic suicide?

http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/v ... 1269#91269

Is "tbdp" the username of the coworker who got you into hot water with Ty's speculation engine?

Again, I'm not trying to sound conspiratorial but I am honestly curious as to why you'd go back and remove something you posted 6 months previously when you were telling this board about your film/video efforts ... on the day that this neck of the blogosphere was informed of her life and death. Makes me think you'd just learned of her death and perhaps remembered you'd posted something about her that you then wished you hadn't.

Peace.

No. I learned about her death, realized I had revealed a lot of personal information about myself here and in other forums and thought it was best to remove it. I knew a shit storm was about to follow. I immediately alerted Jeff to this. I figured that was sufficient.

And if I remember correctly, this forum started to "devolve" when dreamsend and his newbie posters started accusing Jeff, Et and Pan of being "in on it". It played out exactly like the "couldbe" chemtrail discussion, earlier this weekend.

No offense elfismiles, but I do not know you. I've already spoken to three reporters, a private detective and police dept.'s in two states. When a friend is involved, I'm not into gossip. That's what made me angry.

It's obviously still going on. The only difference, now, is that I couldn't care less. I've already wasted a summer on my very first energy sink. Lesson learned.

And once all the monkey business started, I and a few friends decided I would make a fine distraction for the scientologists. They finally figured this out. Why can't you guys? lol.

I'm truly sorry about your loss. I wish you and her family well.

ON EDIT: Forgot about the TBDP thing. That was my old username before the big jump. When the new board started up, I couldn't access this account, so I became brownzeroed. Again, I'm sure Jeff can attest to this.

Hi BZ,

Thanks for responding.

And thanks for the condolences. Terry was a wonderful person. He fought the good fight for all our liberties. He will be missed but is still an inspiration to me and others.
