[QUOTE="JRSpencer, post: 343, member: 415"] [b]Re: The Grandmother Paradox[/b] Okay, fine. So there were no postings in Titor's timeline. But why do it at all? I've read his..."work." He boasts people shouldn't believe him and he doesn't expect them to. Why go through the trouble of posting is you know beforehand no one will give a *&$@?

He basically avoided having to tell the truth at all. I'll simplify all of his posts by presenting them with these two sentences: The following sentence is true. The preceding sentence is false.
