Thanks for showing us how not invested you are.

Yes, Sean, I’ve put the work in on the topic—whereas you purport to be just some bloke on a message board, who’s
“withholding his judgement”. Do try to keep in character.

“This Vyse issue is central to your emotional core, and it’s about to be blown wide open again.”

See what I mean?

Perhaps you’d like also to explain the “blown wide open again” (my emphasis). In several years of trying, all Scott Creighton blew was his own trumpet—and now you’re doing it for him. You’ve even got the huffing and puffing down pat.

I look forward to your cogent comments on the review you find so objectionable. Doubtless you are working on them at this very moment, which is why we have yet to see any.

Are you under the impression that Loveritis (sic: Loveritas) and I are relying on Jason’s review? If so, you’ve forgotten quite a lot, including what you wrote quite recently here:

http://grahamhancock.com/phorum/read.php?1,1067713,1067782#msg-1067782

“Martin, on my own experience alone, I would regard YOU as the foremost expert in the defence of Vyse.”

Anyone interested may see that I’ve already amplified a number of the points raised by Jason:

As for the OP by Loveritas, it is, of course, the latest in a series based on multiple sources.

By the way, I was sorry to hear that you experienced identity theft in 2011. It was wise of you to take precautions in advance, by registering as LonelyAngel in 2007.

M.
