What bothered me (reason I backed off) was the researchers seemed hell bent on interpreting Spokeo results wrong; attributing every single name associated to an address as a current resident, and decided they were all children. I have a pay Spokeo account, and tried on a different dig to explain how Spokeo results should be read. But some folks, they refuse to see logic. I got disgusted with them, took my pay Spokeo account and went home.

Lynnwiod, would you repost that here so we can take a fresh look at it?

That was a very high stress time on this board. Lots of disinfo spamming, lots of Voat bugginess that made people paranoid, lots of leftover paranoia from all the Reddit suppression and MSM attacks. Things are better now.

I’m pretty sure it was these houses https://archive.is/SwhCf/00faab8809796d8e555a698e954fa5b2ad175e01.jpg

I think it might have been the houses neighboring the New Home Academy. Across the street. I don’t know what more I can do, what I did at the time was look at other people’s comments, then looked up the addresses myself and realized they were not only wrong, but totally wrong. Not a single thought was given to who owned the homes just LOOK AT ALL THOSE NAMES. You can’t help people like that. I’m a professional internet researcher, since 2002. I’ve learned that that the wronger a person is, the less likely it is they will listen. So, I didn’t save any of the info and don’t have the addresses. The only way I know it’s the same dig was the New Hope name and the assumption that the kids must be living in neighboring homes. A proper dig would look up the owners of the homes, public records, easy, and not assume all the names at Spokeo are kids, and that they all live there at the same time.

Are you referring to that first post from RFSY, or the second one from Redberries? Did you make any comments there to explain spokeo and/or what was wrong with what people were saying?

I really don’t remember if I posted, DM someone in private, or just walked away. I am willing to give it another go and be more vocal this time. I suspect i just looked at the conclusions, rolled my eyes and walked away. Internet research can’t be done on assumptions. We are held to a very high standard BECAUSE it’s the Internet. Considering you have pinged the original researchers, I’m sure it will come up again. I’ll try to keep an eye on this thread....

It would be great if you could find the time and will to do this, Lynnwiod. Our enemies rely on us growing discouraged and divided and giving up. Together, we can prevail, but as you said, it takes discipline and fortitude. :-)

Looking forward to your perspective!
