Cosmored = CosmicDave?

Nope.  Cosmic Dave is David Cosnette.

Although another name Cosmored often goes by is DavidC so it is easy to confuse.  I still don't think they're the same person.

Hm. Close but no cigar, I guess  :D

Referring to Jays response it seems, I confused the names.  :)

I personally like the theory that he's a bot.  A poster on spurstalk has made the accusation multiple times and he's yet to address it.  It could explain a lot.    :)

It is very hard to tell the players without a program. 

I've sometimes thought of putting one together.  We all know who some of these people are, because we've interacted with them for years.  So one of us makes a joke about sock puppets or some other reference to a particular HB, and we think it's funny--but someone who hasn't dealt with the infamous Dr. Socks doesn't get it.

It's hardly surprising. Cosmored/ScottC/FatFreddy/lots of variations often gets lampooned by members of whichever forum he is spamming by the simple task of registering an account under one of his known other aliases. This gives rise to the odd spectacle of him appearing to argue with himself until you get the gag. For example, FatFreddy88 over at spurstalk is not him, just some comedian who registered the name to troll cosmored. This happened on sciforums as well.

Here are two yootoobs. 2:48 each and they list just some of the places where cosmored has spammed his nonsense. The guy is prolific if nothing else.

Hey, that's a good idea. So we can address all claims in one go.  ;D

Each HB listed by his primary name(s) with links indicating the various strength of the sock puppet connection.  Such as time from the name's banning of one on a forum to the appearance of the next name.  And the connections across various forums.   The accompanying text can describe the posting topics and style of each and make the case for and against the connection.

I see our old YT friend Hunchbacked is posting hoax videos again. I also see that he still has no clue about angles, perspective, or video artifacts.
Ahh, now there's a coincidink..  A certain poster called "Inquisitive Mind"...

ChrLz, you may or may not be aware, but Hunchbacked posted here a few years ago (well, on the old forum) as InquisitiveMind, and his YT page links to his home page under his real name, so, yes, Hunchbacked=InquisitiveMind=Xavier Pascal, which he's never really made any secret of AFAIK.

Here's a link to the old thread. It's really pretty amusing.

Amusing and infuriating at the same time. To quote Ensign Chekov: "a curious mixture".

No, I wasn't aware of Xavier's previous.. and I thank you for that thread - very entertaining!  I've only got to pages 7 and 8, I don't think I have seen a more comprehensive thrashing of a denier's claim - I can't wait to see his responses...  And those animated gif's in the first post - what absolute classics!  I think I may have a use for some of them if he pops his head up again over at Unexplained Mysteries.

BTW, just in case anyone misses this, here's a heads up involving:

Leslie Kean
Col Charles Halt
(Dr) Richard Haines
Thomas Carey

.. who are all participating in a UFO 'Panel Event' that is, seemingly, endorsed by a University and supported by a Professor there as part of their Honors program!   I've started a thread here, and the original story about this (from Alejandro Rojas - groan..) is here, plus the American University's spiel is here..

I find this rather disturbing, and I hope some like-minded folk may be in that area and able to attend, in the forlorn hope that there might be a question time..

I especially love the way he never really gets very far into his main argument because his first premise (the CSM-LM stack orbital orientation) fails so massively. 

One thing about Hunchy, though - he is one of the most civil of the HBs; he seldom if ever goes into a rant or seems to get angry. He just goes happily along convinced that he is right about the most ridiculous claims, even in the face of massive evidence to the contrary.
