The Statement of George Hutchinson

[Observer]

Hi Mike

That would be a graphologist; someone who reads personality traits from writing. Similar to tea leaves, astrology, phrenology, and religion.

Mike

Determining personality traits couldn't have been further from my mind Mike, I was thinking more along the lines of one poster posing as two differrent entity's, or pehaps three.

all the best

Richard,

Your reasons are why I didn't bring up the sock puppet thing, though true.
I don't think there are any attacks going on, just Q and A. Keep your helmet on just in case.

I am remaining neutral on all this until everything surfaces..

Hi,
i am completely lost here, i personally have no need to doubt the poster named as Crystal, whilst i appreciate that one has no actual idea who one is posting to, i have no reason to feel i was being duped.
I agree, it is frustrating, that so many vague responses are in evidence, however, i believe there may be a reason that Crystal is sidetracked for the present time.
i suggest that we all give this poster , time to gather her thoughts, and for the time being, all those that doubt her intentions, hold back their fire , until it should become one hundred per cent clear to us one way or the other.
I have often come across as a 'softie' on Casebook, it may indeed be that case, however i would hate to see Crystal [ if proven authentic] leave the boards disapointed in her fellow members attitude.
Regards Richard.

Will do,
how was she found out and by whom ?

I suspected, but wasn't sure. Ask Ally about it please.

Thanks,

Mike

Barry,

Start with post 167 (I think). I asked her (a newbie) to go in the chat and she was there immediately. That was suspicious to me that she could navigate the site so quickly. It went downhill from there.

I missed all that in the chatroom but i will have a look at the 1911 thread.
Thanks for filling me in Mike,

Barry,

In the chat and on the forum. Look at the 1911 thread for Romford Rose.

Bob,

Here's the first comparison: http://forum.casebook.org/showpost.p...&postcount=258

Did this happen in the chatroom Mike ? or on the forum here ?

[The Good Michael]

Barry,

It was strange really. She created it to ask questions about how people felt about Crystal, Ben, their relationship, that sort of thing. It wasn't hard to detect it being her as Romford Rose and she were both quite aggressive. The questions were uncomfortable. I can tell you that much.

And sp...

Can anyone post the two signatures on here so I can have a look?

Why did Crystal create a sock puppet ? for what reason ?

[Ally]

Because it's trolling. Sock puppets are used for one purpose and one purpose only: to cause trouble. You might be rude and caustic and I might be a hard core bitch, but we aren't hiding it and we aren't doing it in a way that is subversive: it's right out there for everyone to see and people can judge accordingly. What Crystal did is dishonest. It's the equivalent of fraud in terms of internet message boards. And yes, fraud is worse than being rude.

And it is absolutely related to credibility. I am a bitch. I don't expect people to think I am nice and if I suddenly started expecting people to believe I was nice and sweet and charitable, it would be a joke because of my history. Crystal has perpetuated identity fraud on the message boards. Expecting people to believe she's now telling the truth and is not playing games with her identity is as ludicrous as people expecting me to give to alcoholics anonymous or you to be reasonable on the subject of Hutchinson.

Yes people are going to believe what they want to believe. And if they want to believe she's an expert with absolutely no proof whatsoever of that, that is fine. But when they are making up their minds, they should know that she has engaged in identity fraud before on the boards and factor that into their decision of how much they trust her analysis.

Especially when you consider she and you both appear to think there is nothing wrong creating a fake persona in a community you are a part of for no better reason than to cause trouble. There are people who go by different identities for a variety of reasons both past and present, but there is a marked difference in that and trolling, which is what she did.

But as you say, the facts are out there, and people can make up their own minds as to what her credibility in this matter is. It's obvious no one is actually going to get a straight answer in regards to her credentials, so they will have to make up their own minds without them.
