This is a follow-up to "Slouching Toward Disclosure".Here is "Demonologist"'s response concerning his affiliation to the VRS (despite previously only referring to himself as a "personal acquaintance" of Manchester:I have never denied that I am a member of the Vampire Research Society.
How we decide to print material is our decision, not the decision of some disgruntled youth in Australia who is having a hissy fit.
Never denied it? Never disclosed it, either.
Until now.
So, this is indeed a first.The reference to "printing" material, concerns his practice of copy-n-pasting huge tracts of VRS text - without attribution - and posting them on public media. A similar practice is carried out by another shady VRS member.Now, all we need is a name for this mysterious individual, and we could really get somewhere!
Demonologist has been getting awfully close to disclosing his identity. In a recent comment to Lone Stranger's "Feud Watch!" blog entry, he writes:If, as the Aussie "Overseer" says, my "blogs consist of copy-n-pasted VRS material" that could possibly be because I am a VRS member and have consent to use such material.
Yet, as I pointed out in my response:If you do indeed have consent to regurgitate such material...why is this not disclosed anywhere in your blogs?
And, more importantly, what is the point of you regurgitating such things...if it's already on the bloody web? Why not just link to it? Provide commentary...something that would justify your blog's existence apart from being part of a VRS propaganda drive.
The response to that should be interesting.
And quite possibly evasive.
I previously gave Don's report coverage here.Thanks to Lone Stranger's recent blog entry, "Don Ecker Speaks!", I've also found out it's been revised and uploaded elsewhere.Warning: contains traces of satire!
In a comment to Lone Stranger's "The Great Vampire Hunter and His Kit", "Demonologist" wrote:I cannot imagine Seán Manchester wasting his time reading blogs about himself. He might have something brought to his attention by someone to clear up a question or because of unlawful activity involving his identity or his property, but he would not be aware of much else. I somehow doubt he would bother to actually view such blogs.
Well, there's a simple way to verify that.If we skip over to Manchester's Blogger profile, then we're able to see which blogs he "follows".Amidst several Catholic blogs, we have:The last two blogs are also significant because...they are "written" by none-other than, yep, Demonologist, himself.And, lastly, let's not forget who was responsible for the removal of Don's report from Scribd.
"Demonologist" recently posted a response in Net Curtains Lurkers' "Crazed Sean on YouTube" post concerning my "What's in a Blink?" blog entry.Indeed, his response made it almost seem as if...he was there!: defence
He was facing strong sunlight when interviewed which might make anyone blink rapidly when dazzled by the sun for a duration, but, due to his eye condition, Keith Maclean frequently blinks rapidly whether he is listening, speaking or viewing.
Uncanny.When he was asked this by "American Psycho":Ok, Mr. "Demonologist", one might equally ask if you are also an aquaintance of Keith McLean's, if you are so familiar with his eye-blinking habit..?
He said:I happen to be acquainted with Keith Maclean, not that it is any business of yours, sufficient to be aware of his impairment.
It's amazing how many "acquaintances" this man has! Including, of course, Sean Manchester:I am personally acquainted with Bishop Seán Manchester and have been for some considerable time.
However, one must regard it as a bit strange that a mere "acquaintance" would also be given the task of "writing" the VRS's copy-n-paste blog. (See his profile).And it's no mere unofficial fan site. After all, the VRS includes it as a link on their "Highgate Vampire Domain" page.Oh, and Sean Manchester, himself, happens to be one of its followers...
