Well John, its like this:
I came rather late to this site. I'd been lurking here for a little over a year and a half - before I signed on and started posting last month. Titor was long gone by the time I arrived at TTI. I've done one heck of a lot of reading /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif And snooping around all over the internet looking for other aspects about the man, and his mission.
Please don't be swayed by my personal take on all this, instead come to form your own conclusions based on what you learn about him - and reason it through for yourself.
Much of what I've read leads me to believe John Titor was a complete and finely woven hoax.
Others might disagree with me here, but I've always believed theres a dangerous aspect in putting stock on the word of anyone who comes on like John Titor did - out of left field, and without warning. Sure - on one hand, he came across as being charming, and he never got angry with the people who posted their questions to him, and he seemed to have answers. Its some - or all of these aspects about him, that are still being debated here and elsewhere many years later.
But -on the other hand, Titor had a few things in common with people we've all seen rise up and come to our attention through other means; those such as David Korresh or Jim Jones come to mind. In a way like Korresh and Jones - Titor was so convincing in conveying his message, and information about what our (his) future holds, that in the process - he swayed people into questioning the value of their own core beliefs, into accepting the possibly he could be the real deal. A genuine time traveler.
After the fact - I feel sorry for these people. They've been tampered with in a way thats akin to being pychodynamically manipulated in my opinion. My only wish for them - is they get some resolution to any questions they want answered now - and perhaps an appology from this person they chose to give a benefit of the doubt to.
