No, FattyDash is the name Cosmored/RockyC goes by on JREF.  That was never Tekeli.

His JREF id is Fatfreddy88.......Fattydash was the old apollohoax id of the original Doc Socks Tekeli. These mad fools do get about......but Cosmored is the worst. There are a couple of videos on YT showing the hundreds of forums he's spammed on.

I can't keep track of the identities of everyone.

But, the "fattydash" on the proboards incarnation of the ApolloHoax.net forum wasn't the link-spammer, was he? e.g. http://apollohoax.proboards.com/post/91370

Just reading the Fattydash thread again is frustrating. I won't miss his complete evasion of critics.

Whoops, my mistake.  Yes, fattydash was Tekeli.  FatFreddy, aka FatFreddy88, is Cosmored.

Those two have had so many sock puppets between them, it's an easy mistake to make.

And those videos appropriately use the Monty Python Spam song as background music.

Apparently, Doc Socks popped his socks.

Some have speculated that he has faked his death.  At the very least he appears to have written his own obituary.  I wouldn't put faking it past him but I personally doubt it.

Wow, that's an awfully young age to go. I found his sock puppetry tiresome (though also sometimes a bit funny, as he seemed capable of writing in only one style, no matter what persona he was trying to put on), but I never wished ill upon him.

I hadn't even consider that possibility; but now that you mention it that obit sure sounds like his writing. That said, unless some good evidence of fakery turns up I'm going to assume it's legit.

Wasn't there some evidence that Dr Socks was someone else, using this man's identity, qualifications and achievements?

At about the same time the obit showed up someone tried to register here praising the doc and wanting to discuss Apollo, essentially looking like a sock of him.  It is possible that it was someone else but seemed suspicious.  Another forum member said he was trying to track down the death certificate to be sure.

There are 135 entries in the obit guest book. A glance through them shows none of them were aware of his deranged online persona or chose not to speak ill of the dead.

I note in the obituary it refers to:
Quote
In 2010, Pat's design of the "Dr. Tea" road bike won the Best of Show..
and then:
Quote
To pay tribute to Pat privately... rigorously question authority.

I am 99.9% satisfied that Dr Patrick Tekeli was indeed Dr Socks.  Apart from all the clues that are online, I also make that judgement on the basis of extensive matching details and 'patter' in some quite lengthy emails he sent to me directly from a gmail account (commencing '49ersrule..' and signing off as 'Ted Dooley' - another alias Tekeli has used on Youtube).  Those emails seemed to have been prompted by a warning I made to him at a forum about impersonating people, including me, to which I took a very dim view indeed..

The content of those emails was, frankly, disturbing - just like some of his posts and identities..  I'm thinking particularly of some of his foulmouthed posts at AboveTopSecret as 'Decisively' and BAUT as 'Dastardly', where he 'feigned'/implied literacy issues and/or mental illness (perhaps to somehow justify to himself what he was posting?).

Anyway, in those emails to me he admitted to most (not all) of the identities and gave many personal details that match the bio's and obituary - he even gave me his number to ring which I checked but didn't use...  So if it was a false identity, it was *very* deeply researched and contrived.

When I responded to the first email (quite politely) as a test I asked him a couple of questions to which I already knew the answer.  In the course of another lengthy email he failed that test and lied to me, so I replied and told him I was not interested in any further conversation as it was clear he had no good intentions whatsoever.

Now I'm sure there may be a troll or two about who may use this development to play games and fake his re-appearance, but to me it all 'seems legit'..

..and I for one will not miss him in the slightest.
