QuoteRepeatedly, I've said that I would not do much if any more (posts or redirects); but I kept watching, and I saw a need and wanted to help. But now, it has come to the point where I would rather say and do no more, than continue causing endless controversy that is not going anywhere.
I will be watching, and if anyone wants to make a serious attempt at the $999 reward: I will certainly either respond to it or else send the money; but they must be serious calculations. Other than that, I am not obligated to do any redirects or posts; it is my own choice, and no amount of complaints or anything else is going to force me to post again. If I have been wrong on anything, time will tell. And if I've been right, time will also tell—the truth will prevail.
Instead of doing a whole new post: I may on a rare occasion make a comment or two in a thread that was posted by someone else (and probably redirect to that comment, so people will who are following TIAI will see it). But redirects will not be daily anymore; those who still don't accept TIAI/TS probably never will, no matter what I redirect to or whatever I write in a post, so there' really s no point.
The hoax doesn't rely only on TS anyway; as many have said, they believed in the hoax before TS ever posted anything. In fact, don't you think there is good reason why I didn't post any new thread—or even make a comment in an existing thread—until more than two months after the "death"? If I had posted immediately after 6-25-2009, then people could claim that TS is the reason for believing in the hoax; but it did not happen this way, for a good reason.
Yes TS it was/is your choice to stop redirecting completely or to help out once in a while with the redirects/and or posts. I realize they started daily again and I am sure those redirects were purposeful/planned other than just helping.
When the news came from you that there would be no more daily redirects it came at a time when the forum was going through alot of upset, in-fighting, and controversy. The dust needed to settle, people needed to calm down and start to realize they can make it without the daily redirects.
There will be an end sooner or later, there will be a weaning process and a withdrawel process people will go through. Perhaps the process here is to get ready, start preparing for that day when we have to be at peace with just ourselves, our thinking (using our own minds) praying to God for guidance :mrgreen:
(for those who believe) and start to re-enter our lives.
I am sure there are many things that have taken a back burner in many people's lives. Those things can't die, they need to be nurtured. This will seem like a shock :shock: to the system, it will seem like your going through withdrawel from a drug. We have been junkies on Michael Jackson's death hoax adventure.
Whatever you decide to do TS; you have your reasons and love you more too.
