The account didn’t become active just for the recall. It became most active with the start of Covid.

I’m going to float another possibility by you, though I do admit there was a period of automation: the person did not use their Twitter account frequently, accidentally installed adware on their computer, and simply didn’t notice or delete their tweets when they came back.

The first tweets were composed in a web browser. Automated tweets were posted from a client named “Twitter for websites”, and the newest tweets were posted from the iPhone app.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just not saying you’re totally right, and should perhaps start imagining situations that do not fit your biases.

This was your first logical non-ranting thing you have said.

There were a couple different periods of automation starting in 2009 a few months after the account was created. I only spoke of the main one because it was for an extended period of time, lasted for a fair number of tweets and ended with the account being parked for 4.5 years.

Most of the early tweets were a bit odd, not too long in length and lacking. That suggested possible scripting though I could find no other accounts with a matched phrase on several searches.

I just wish you’d stop trying to discover who’s replying to who, liking who, following who, retweeting who, and trying to build hyped up stories about ops and whatnot.

You’re not even doing this for your own reasons. You’re doing it on behalf of Jim Stewartson, starting with the assumption that everything he ever said about these people is true.

Jim could have bounced ideas off of QAnon researchers, but he started with Arturo’s research and conclusions and demanded he had it right based upon his analysis. He trolled people and cultivated an audience who did the same.

This whole situation needs to end. It’s ridiculous. I guarantee you that if you and Jim stopped with the cut-rate private investigator act and stopped calling everyone on Twitter and op, people wouldn’t talk about you anymore.

You could actually focus on something useful and maybe even stop attracting trolls.

You obviously hadn't read my book either, nor are your assumptions accurate.

Nobody is going to get arrested for dunking on you on Twitter.

Twitter does investigations before suspending accounts.

Please actually read the terms of service.

I know a portion of Jim’s audience likes this whole “all of Jim’s detractors are ops” thing, but it’s not true and it doesn’t accomplish anything. It never will.

What a ridiculous and short-sighted thing to say when a man is dead, three others that I know were hospitalized and all both of your groups could do was try harder to destroy more people.

A Twitter account? Is that all you care about?

You can’t keep blaming everyone on Twitter for the death of a man you didn’t even know. You’re using his death as a weapon and it’s actually pretty disgusting.

And I’m not going to read your book when you’ve clearly demonstrated, repeatedly, that you are incapable of doing proper research because you’d rather make up stories than be honest.

Re: qualifications:

Well most of them are able to hold down a job and a Twitter account, so there's that
