Let me walk you through the timeline...
July 28, goldworldnet said HB had died.
Message 34756651
I responded to that message, pointing out it was not an obituary, and appeared to have been written by a bot.
I looked HB up online, using the name that goldworldnet had posted as being HB.
I found and contacted a business associate of hers, who I exchanged emails with, and then spoke to personally on the phone.
On August 25, I posted a message to you, stating,
"She's fine.
I spoke with someone who knows her who told me she was alive and well as of August 16."
Message 34797208
After learning (and posting) that information, I asked Ron to delete an earlier message I had posted because it contained HB's real name, which is a violation of SI's TOU.
goldworldnet replied to my (now deleted) message here:
Message 34762472
Yesterday, J.B.C posted this message:
Message 34833396
His source of the information was locogringo, who also recommended the post.
I immediately contacted HB's business associate for confirmation, which I quickly received.
I posted that confirmation here:
Message 34833614
Until yesterday, no definitive information had been posted about her death.
To recap,
July 28, goldworldnet falsely claimed HB had died.
I look into that and found that HB was alive and well as of August 16.
Yesterday, September 20, J.B.C posted a message stating HB had died on September 13.
My contact confirmed HB had died, but said she died on September 12.
I posted that information here:
Message 34833614
Nobody on SI had provided evidence she was dead until yesterday.
She apparently died on either September 12 or September 13. I expect we'll see an obituary for her posted online soon.
So tell me again, when in this timeline do you think I lied about her still being alive? |
