isitmagic: I'm not saying its a hoax, I'm saying he's using the information for an experiment, since his background seems to be in psychology of group-thinking and mass hysteria.
I was up until he said he was fully trained, a believer that this was almost 100% true but that I had to wait since there would intrinsically be no proof except his deadline.

Here's the part that's in error, the OP states that "'War of the Worlds broadcast coincided with a massive blackout in New Jersey...
The blackout DID however occur coincident with the broadcast, in a town called CONCRETE, WA. With a name like Concrete, kind of hard to forget it. I believe ghostraven's information may be from hearsay, rumor from a friend etc, and that he never did write a paper on the subject, and that dominoes down the rest of his story in my view.

I agree, there are a lot of hoaxes and what not, but you cant just simply pass something off as a hoax with no proof or a STRONG argument...

But in the meantime, like I said, its not going to kill us to just wait and see what happens.

I am almost positive that this is not about points, how could a known hoaxer still use their account no matter the number of points?

I always thought the idea was not to pass something off as FACTUAL without proof or a strong argument.

Actually if you believe the OP, it might indeed kill us so....

When the question gets asks, he copies and pastes. So that could explain his quick and lengthy responses.

Interesting. What pay grade are you exactly, Raven? I wasn't aware there even was a federal pay grade that any reasonable person would equate to 'expensive cars and nice suits'.

Someone here said they checked his IP and he is in fact posting from a library right... With that IP, you can actually find out his general location from the many IP checking sites on the net. I've done so with my own IP and it was accurate as to the city, until i rebooted the router and it changed to the city next to it... but libraries arent likely to be doing that.
If we are interested in this guys location, do an IP check for location as to where this library is.
