The Brown Paper Bag

[John Corbett]

My original post.

Welcome to the World Of Martin Weidmann, until recently I hadn't had any many major interactions with old Weidy because he got tedious and kept using these bizarre tactics like misinterpretations of the evidence, outright lies, BS personal anecdotes and the wall of insults and now in my short time debating him again, he's pulled all of his old tricks out of the bag. I thought he'd mellow in his old age but if anything he's more angry and belligerent

Whenever he gets really angry he plays the "ego" card and a member here Lance Payette, a lawyer, very quickly discovered Old Weidy was using sock puppet accounts and these sock puppet accounts would use all the same tactics in addition to giving thumbs up emojis to his posts, it became a running joke. Years ago Bill Brown and myself independently exposed Old Weidy using a sock puppet account named "Roger Collins" who would use the exact same sentence structure, same anger issues, same peculiar ideas and the excessive use of supporting each others posts. Over the years Old Weidy introduced many of these accounts and these newbies would immediately have a vile attitude towards Old Weidy's enemy's, but we didn't bother exposing him and just exchanged PM's having a good ole laugh. LOL!

In the very entertaining "Sock Puppet" thread the following exchange highlights Lance exposing a very sad old man.

I've been dealing with JFKA conspiracy crowd for 35 years now and I've just about seen it all. Generally, I don't get POed by them. For example, I find Benjamin Cole to be a bit misguided but he is respectful and seems sincere in his beliefs. I try to respond in kind. The exception is when they resort to outright lying like Weidmann did with his claim that Lt. Day went into panic mode upon learning that Frazier passed his polygraph. I pressed him on supporting that claim several times and he refused to provide a source to back up his claim. Finally, he produced a letter that didn't even remotely suggest Day had reacted anything like what he had claimed. IOW, he completely made up the part about Day going into panic mode. Whenever I catch a conspiracy hobbyist in a bald-faced lie, I have to remind myself to calm down. It's not worth getting upset over it. It's question of mind over matter. If I don't mind, they sure as hell don't matter.

I'd forgotten about the sock puppet ploy. We had a guy on John McAdams old forum who was famous for that. I think his handle was Bob Harris and he made most of his arguments under that name. He is one of the few CTs who actually accepts the SBT but his pet theory was there was a missed shot fired at Z285 which would have made it impossible for Oswald to have fired that shot and the kill shot. He had several sock puppets but his favorite was some guy purported to be from Sweden or Norway who would post just to cheer Bob on and tell him how brilliant he was. He wasn't fooling anyone, not even his fellow CTs. Tony Marsh would get especially angry at him because he thought Bob was embarrassing the other CTs, as if they needed any help in doing that.

They tell me that Bob would bounce around among forums. He'd stick around until he was either banned or verbally beaten up on one forum and then move on to another to bore them for a while. He was never banned from our group but he would disappear for months at a time and then reappear out of nowhere.
