Hi there, Don. I personally can't say for certain whether or no "Nomad" is a Will Schryver sockpuppet, but a lot of people believe that's the case. And given's Will's penchant for paranoia and revenge fantasies (cf. his attempt to blame Bokovoy for trying to undermine his work w/ the M.I.), you may want to be aware of this well-founded suspicion.
The point of my post wasn't to offend either Will or any staunch supporter. Far from it. I understand from previous posts by Will that he accepts that the evidence presented in his presentation alone, without the complete arguments of his to-be-published piece, haven't persuaded all of his fellow saints, and that this is okay. He only expects them to all be won over by the full paper.
Hmmm. Maybe so. Regardless, I thought Nomad's reaction to your remarks was over-the-top. It was, shall we say, Midgley-esque in its outrage.
