As Paul said above, there's more to say about all this (and of course, Shane is most welcome to say what he wishes, and we encourage that), but there's lots of detail involved, and it would take quite some time to lay out in the most understandable way. But reassurance was not forthcoming.Īs a result of the answers given, we (the Avalon mods) are unanimous that we cannot any more support Shane's story. Shane responded in an exemplary way throughout, as one might expect, in terms of his consistent demeanor and courtesy.

I urged Shane to be very straight about some things, where we had felt he had not been. It seemed only fair, because I was troubled: I have always liked him - he is an archetypal, super-nice person - but his story was problematic on several important counts. I wanted to do this in private, rather than 'ambush' Shane on audio (or maybe to be thought to be doing so). The entire exchange was totally civilized, but was also focused on a number of specific unanswered questions that had not been asked by other interviewers. Over the last week or so, there's been an extensive, detailed written dialog with Shane in which many questions were asked, and many answers were given. I don't think Shane would any more consent to an interview (but, to be quite fair, I don't know this for sure).

Isn't Bill scheduled to interview Shane soon? Or has something gone awry? Shane/The Ruiner's interview with Kerry Cassidy, 8 Sept 2015 () I'll start this by copying over a post I made on this thread a few hours ago (post #269, here ()):
