Re: John Titor,
Just trying to inject some simple logic here
Long time reader, first time poster. For a while something has held me back from ever registering and posting (probably because anytime I have a thought, it seems somebody else has already said it, lol)... but anyways... try not to take this too personally Darby or Pamela...

And the new private information I contain has brought me to my opinion that John was indeed a real time traveler.(although I still contain some doubt by nature without full disclosure.)
So basically... either Darby, or Pamela's "private information" is 100 percent wrong. Titor cannot be both a fraud and a time traveller.
I want to ask both of you a simple question, vague enough so you wont be violating your ethics and wont be giving up any of this information. I really hope both will give an answer:
Is the information each of you possesses the type that can be "faked?" Is it possible that the information could simply be wrong, or more vague? Or... Is the information 100 percent conclusive?
1-If the information isn't conclusive 100 percent for ONE of you... ie, it could reasonably be Wrong of Faked... then... assuming person B's info IS conclusive, chances are, logically and statistically you are wrong, and the opposite person B is correct. Or not... but anyways, that would lead to a new "logic tree", stage two of the investigation.
2-If it is NOT conclusive... for BOTH of you... well that just brings everything back to mystery land and to square one. But even this does have some implications, which will pop up in stage two
3-If both of you say YES IT IS CONCLUSIVE INFORMATION THAT CANNOT BE WRONG,
...then one of you is a LIAR. Plain and simple.
Because of the direct way statements in the past by both of you have occured, I'm proceeding with the intention that Option 3 is indeed the correct one, that both of you insist it is conclusive information. If it's not, and it's Option 1 or 2, please say so in the thread and let us know... but for now, Option 3.
If both of you insist on Option 3, then one of you is lying about your information as proof. That's indisputable. Like I said... Titor cannot be both a time traveller and a fraud (well ok, maybe if he cheated on his taxes while he was here, he can be both, but you know what I mean
).
Which means for every statement involving John Titor, from the very beginning, your credibility is down to 50 percent. Every statement of fact, statement about personal conversations, any information about Titor that came from YOU, going back ALL THE WAY to the time Titor first said "I am a time traveller," ALL of it... is retroactively suspect to be BS. There's a 50 percent chance. As I continue my own personal investigation into this, that's what I'm going to keep in mind, as I re-examine the sheer number of posts.
It's almost like a variation of the prisoner's dilemma, but as of this point, any post or information related to Titor from the two now (in my own mind) has exactly 50 percent chance of being a complete fabrication. Statistically, ONE of the two is a LIAR.
Darby and Pamela, even if we never learn their "information," are the keys to figuring out the Titor mystery for good. Titor cannot be both a fraud and a time traveller.
(remember if any of their info is not 100 percent conclusive, if just one of the two's "info" is like that, then neither is a liar, but the one whose info isn't conclusive, is wrong, that would be option 1. If its option 2, then we're shot all to hell, so I hope its either 1 or 3 /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
Tick. Pamela's a liar and Titor's a fraud.
Tock. Darby's a liar and Titor's a time traveller.
Tick. Pamela's a lair and Titor's a fraud.
Tock. Darby's a liar and Titor's a time traveller.
Which is it? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/confused.gif

(this doesn't take into account the possiblity that both are lying, but even I'm not that pessimistic... ... ... yet
Anyways, if so, that would fall under Option 2).
