I just found my original comparison of two distinct "Colby" literary incarnations on one of my old external hard drives:
Kind Readers,

You're joking right, you don't consider "You really should stop using words you can't spell" insulting? If you don't want someone to toss rocks at you don't throw rocks at them first you constantly insult me and now Evan, you've insulted other members (Jack, David Healy, Paul) in the past. Or are going to pretend you were offended by me saying your post was nonsense'? If so how is that offensive but you saying to Evan "you don't have your facts straight" not?

You are conflating intransigence with reasonable doubt. This is analogous to when Jack continuously insisted that evolution was an obvious hoax though he was unable to give any reasons for this belief other than a misunderstanding of the science involved. Just as his stubborn refusal to accept the facts and some members patience in trying to set him straight in no way indicated his doubts were legitimate, you (and to a lesser extent Maggie) saying her question was not satisfactorily answered doesn't make it so.
In your considered opinion, were they written by the same person?
As for the "Colby" entity purposefully changing/de-contextualizing my 9-11 Pentagon damage remarks, I found the following contemporaneous message from EF moderator Kathy Beckett in which she takes "Colby" to task for doing exactly what I claimed he did:
I might add that one of this Forum's moderators agreed with me that "Colby" was unfairly misquoting me at the time of the original incident.
In Post #75 on the "Defense Historians Document 9/11" thread, Kathy Beckett, taking my point, wrote the following to "Colby":
Mr. Colby,
Please correct your quote regarding what Charles Drago actually said. That is only fair.
Charles wrote "the near total absence of damage to the building and adjacent grounds consistent with [the impact of a 757]" ,
not
"the near total absence of damage to the building ".
End of Beckett warning.
"Colby" is exposed. By "his" own words.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
