NOt so fast...I would propose that this case, due to lack of indisputable evidence proving anything either way, be classified as undetermined.
Thank you!

We don't even have any iron-clad proof "Ranbo" is a really a fifteen year-old boy, do we?
I mean, do we?
After all, anyone can claim a particular MySpace page "proves" they are who they say they are...but...
Even that is subject to fabrication.
An interesting story is where this will remain, in my estimation, barring any introduction of solid, incontrovertible evidence to sway opinions.
Even the simple, real time exercise I pitched way back when, would not have been certain to "prove" anything except...well...that one certain aspect of this case may not have been staged.
The result of such a test would still have been entirely open to one's interpretation.
If there was the "way above top secret award" still around, I'd vote you for it. I appreciate this kind of level-headed thinking in a time where self-propelled drama is in vogue.

At any rate, thanks for a diverting exercise in the all too human desire to believe/disbelieve anything presented online, based upon what one wants to believe to be true, Ranbo.
Let that be a lesson to us all...![]()
Not so fast (sorry, I love that line). Just because we want or don't want something to be true doesn't make it so, even in ether-space. When I read this post in the beginning, I was undecided whether Ranbo's incident was a person, demon, or merely a good story online. With both research and some experiences that happened to me during the course of this study, I became convinced this story is probably valid. Want me to prove it? Can't. Not unless I can somehow cause those same experiences to happen to the reader. I know! I'll use my "Christian mind-control powers" that all the people on other threads say I have. Ready? Look into my eyes... @_@
