Oh, I agree it was faked! I am pretty sure I remember reading it and it was so obviously faked that I ignored it at the time. I'm just thinking that it's easy enough for a moderator to see an (unmasked) IP. If SoL's posts were all from ISP-XYZ and suddenly this BBQ post pops up from ISP-PDQ, that's good evidence for a mod that it's trolling.
I suppose it could have been planned ("I'll post openly from my home all along like an innocent person who has nothing to hide, and then one more detailed post describing exactly what I actually did from a masked IP to make it seem like I'm in Timbuktu, and that will create reasonable doubt!)... but that's pretty complex for a killer who would leave a hacksaw wrapper in his room. Heck, maybe that's an intentional part of the plan too. :crazy:
In the middle of the night, I woke up thinking that the BBQ post wasn't even on "the other site"... that it was a trolling comment post somewhere under an article. I am going to have to listen to Winters again. Does he say this post was actually from that other site, or does he say, "McD posted on this other site as SoL, and then we found THIS post by SoL!" -- without saying where they found the post in question? If he is using the verified identity from one site to prove the same person is using the moniker on another site, that is a whole new level of ridiculous.
