It's not against the rules, per say, but it is...interesting. Very...interesting.

No, Latin, what's against our rules is you posting here at all.

That's what being banned means.

Incredulo
Hal did not say it was against the rules. He just presented it as further evidence that you are Latinijral.

- You have the same IP address as Latinijral.

- You have the same typing style as Latinijral.

- You take up Latinijral's topic right where he left it.

This is called strong circumstantial evidence.

Now, go away.

Hans

I find these data points of interest, as sock puppets of banned folks are not allowed. Your response?
That's incredibly strong circumstantial evidence- I'd bet anything that's latinijiral. Ban him.

It was pretty clearly a Beavis & Butthead reference... I guess they must have been translated to spanish at some point. Who knew (or cared)?

Geez, this guy's even less entertaining than agur, no loss from this banning.

Tmeto,

I find it interesting that you appear here on the day Carlos left Renata's forum, you appeared here. You registered as being from Taiwan, but your IP address, captured by VBull, is based out of Ecuador.

Of your four posts, one is here, one is in the welcome thread, and one is in a thread about an "image" in a photo, and one is asking for information about people who have made paranormal claims.

May I ask for your comments on this? Any theories or evidences?

A very unconvincing "accent". I have done a lot of communicating with chinese peaking people. There is a distinct "written accent", and it is not this one.

Anyhow, he overdid it this time, being totally incomprehensible

And I, for one would not be suprised if we don't see another attempt to get in here by the Carlos Crew.

When I saw the tape I finally understood why the James Randi Educational Foundation has the fear to comment about this topic :they failed under their own skeptical rules.

I am really dissapointed , since I am a skeptical beleiver , of how the researchers and the followers based their investigations in just some links of the web.
It is another story if you look the images at a proffesional tape IMO.

As one might suspect, this poster is a sock puppet. He claims to be from South Asia, but his IP resolves to Ecuador. Hum... who do we know there..., and his first (and only)two posts have been to parrot the complaints of Latin on his last visit here (Bidlack is a fake cuz he prays, and randi is a coward). So, he's gone too.
