Hopefully this new topic heading will prompt Darby or Pamela to give a summary of the story behind Thomas Dehn.
I saw recently in a long thread on www.anomalies.net regarding "Titor is a Liar", where on page 26 for Dec 31 2001, Darby releases info about finding the guy behind John Titor. He writes that on a different forum "About.com" UFO Forum, subject "I am an Alien", a character named "Kumagoro" and also "TTITO2" had been spinning a tale for six months. Then he revealed himself as Thomas Dehn, that the Alien story was fake, and that he had been inspired to do so by the John Titor story. (Darby contends that Thomas only confessed when being faced with the facts from Pam).
I went over to the "About.com" UFO Forum and read through the postings from about Nov 2001 to Jan 2002. I can see Darby (username "Sanaro") posting after Thomas Dehn's confession that Tom wasn't just inspired by JT - he was the originator of JT. Darby's postings are calm. Tom responded with low-brow name calling. If I could misqote Francis Bacon; "methinks he doth protesteth too much."
From there to here is is not so clear (oops a Suess-ism!)
1. Darby at the time wrote of proof between JT and Kumagoro postings that showed they were by the same person, but it was not distincly clear to me. It is fine to say "We have proof, we have proof", but I would like to hear more about the facts of it all, clearly laid out.
2. There seemed to be some confusion as to Dehn's name - was it Thomas Dehn or John Dehn? Are they different people, or was this some mistake? Tom seemed to hid behind the fact of NOT being John Dehn, but was that even a question?
3. Where is Tom go? Is he still posting? Is he Charlie?
4. Why are we all still here? If Tom Dehn was JT and the story was a fake, why didn't it die off? I mean, that "outing" by Darby and Pam of Tom was in Dec 2001. 2 years later and people are still adding to and discussing the JT story. Tom did say that people are myth-driven, and will latch on to a great tale, hoping it to be true, finding facts to support it. Is that what drives the JT myth?
5. Perhaps the JT story didn't die because Darby and Pam didn't quite kill it off with Tom Dehn. Perhaps Tom still didn't prove to vbe the final nail in the coffin of this story.
6. Why do Darby and Pam still post as if JT (or the person behind it) has yet to be found? (i.e. PAM - "prove to me that you are John"). If they knew the story was a fake and Tom was the hoaxer, wouldn't they have as the top like to every post - "titor story a hoax - see link" ? I mean - there should be a difference between hunting a hoaxer and encouraging a forum on Time Travel.
I hope Darby or Pam can respond and inform us all.
Thanks - DJ.
