Saying that someone could possibly have done something, is not the same as accusing someone. If people couldn’t discuss hypothetical possibilities related to any of this, there wouldn’t be much to chat about. Also, Butterfield links to the thread you posted from the ZKF forum. It’s been discussed on there somewhere recently, but I can’t remember which section I saw it in. In any event, for someone like Butterfield who has been posting online for like 15 years…if that thread is the best his detractors can come up with, it’s pretty weak. There are a number of reasons he could have removed it, but my guess is that’s you assume it was to cover something up. I haven’t reached the same conclusion.

Again, it seems as though people who have researched this case for a long period of time have developed bizarre interpersonal relationships and unique grudges with one another. This isn’t surprising, since a case like this will attract people with eccentric personalities. I’m not really interested in personalizing things. Your concern with ZodiacKillerFacts seems to be with Butterfield’s forum postings or some sort of personal falling out with him related to one of these discussions. My interest is in the website itself and it’s content. The detailed articles on suspects/victims and all things related to the case are very meticulously constructed and the best out there(just my opinion.)

Other sites are useful for various things. Zodiackiller.com for example is a good resource for documents. I haven’t paid the $10 to join the forums there, so I can only read the old archives…which feature a lot of interesting discussions between some of the folks being mentioned here. I’m turned off by that’s site’s taking Richard Gaikowski seriously as a suspect, as there is no evidence whatsoever and any reading of Blaine’s writings makes clear he’s a nutjob with no credibility….and when there is no evidence then credibility of the accuser is all one has to go on.

My recommendation though, for people who want to avoid having any subsequent theorizing based on a false premise, is to start by studying the facts, at http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com

Anyhow, I have enjoyed this exchange and really appreciate your interest in taking the time to comment. And yes it is a shame we give so much money to foreign corrupt governments(as well as non corrupt governments for that matter.) Perhaps one day our leaders, regardless of political party, will finally ask themselves the trillion dollar question of why on earth we give any money to other countries when we are in enormous debt and have none of our own. The odds of that happening are about as likely as finding the Zodiac.

Just nonsense? Oh, and the thread accusing Graysmith of mailing a serial killer hoax through the U.S. Federal post? (Very serious charge by the way; ask the FBI) – The same thread that Butterfield has subsequently removed to COVER UP THE FACTS (“facts on his side” . . . “Best source of legit information,” you say?) – In that same thread, Ed Neil had his own posting that rashly & libelously accused Graysmith of fabricating and mailing the 1978 Zodiac letter (there was no “possibly could have forged” to be read between the lines from either of your two archetypes of the “genuinely interested in solving the case” researcher).

If the accusations in that thread were so innocently hypothetical, why then did Michael Butterfield/Aud8us remove it? Did you or any other member ask them? Have they explained? You know . . . to get to the “facts.”

You endorse Butterfield and his minions as “the best website for all things relating to the Zodiac Killer . . . . Don’t bother going to other sites.” Btw: I am familiar with every site you listed, and many more, but I’m neither member nor apologist for them. Your excuse for active membership at Zodiackillerfacts (read: endorsement of Butterfield, sorry but there’re no two ways of rationalizing out of that one) appears to be that he and his site are the lesser of other evils out there. A bare bones level of critical thinking skills would indicate that this is hardly the way to pursue facts or serious intellectual discussion on any topic – all the while lending credence to Butterfield’s “wild schemes,” and “bizarre hearsay” (not to mention his ego).

Where have you been the last several years? Zodiackillerfacts’ forum discussions have been riddled with posts/threads giving pet suspects and even real names! I have all those pages saved. Only very recently did Butterfield issue another one of his edicts, this time to keep POIs to PMs and the Cantina, etc., etc. Talk about too little too late; and we know how well his moralizing decrees hold up, don’t we? (See link in my first post.)

Well, that’s all I need to say. Thank you. I’ll let you get back to your Russian spam. Just don’t be so hard on Obama, remember he’s but our Webmaster, and we are but inconsequential posters on the Web page of isolationist America. How many billions of U.S. money did I hear recently that Hosni personally has stowed away for his rock rainy day? Of course, Mubarak (“long time” dictator) is probably just an egomaniac, but that would be irrelevant. LOL!
