And what do we have here? One of the "community of scientists" is Andrew Weaver, someone I know personally. He teaches at UVIC canadafreepress.com Dr. Andrew J Weaver, Chief Editor School of Earth and Ocean Sciences University of Victoria PO Box 3055, Victoria, BC V8W 3P6 Canada Phone: +1 250 472 4006 Fax: +1 250 472 4004 jcled@uvic.ca climate.uvic.ca Funny he. aka Crystal Ball, should be involved in running a scam since he was badly burned in the Crystallex episode wwwa.stockwatch.com and lost most of his money betting that Marc Oppenheimer, a friend of his, was honest. Hmmmmmmm "Many supporting members of the cast, such as University of Victoria professor Andrew Weaver ('Crystal Ball') who contributed a modest 350 posts, played a crucial but often unacknowledged role in maintaining the integrity of the saga. Professor Weaver, whose University of Victoria Climate Modelling Group's advertisement was prominently featured on VHeadline, was unstinting in his support of Mr. Carson and other prominent Crystallex supporters. When a Crystallex informational meeting was held in Victoria, 'Crystal Ball' provided the stock forum with a glowing account of his positive impressions of Crystallex management and the company's prospects. So convinced was he of the outcome of the dispute that he once again took up a position in Crystallex shares that he had previously sold. When it came to 'The Listener', 'Crystal Ball' was at first highly doubtful, claiming not to believe that he was actually a broker. Later, however, he had a change of mind after spending an hour on the phone with him. "This guy is legit!", he told the forum. While supportive of pro-Crystallex posters, 'Crystal Ball' seemed to abandon the academic principles of free discussion when it came to those who were perceived as critics; for example, he dismissed an article by a Stockwatch business reporter as being the work of a "punk 'W5 reporter Wannabe'" who had been put in his place by Vice President of Corporate Relations Richard Marshall." Botox statement: I seem to recall that Andrew showed up at the Victoria KRY meeting dressed in drag but it was awhile ago and my memory is fuzzy. Waldo was there and could confirm this. ====================== MORE MORE MORE vheadline.com
