Flatsigned and Stephen King? (All threads regarding Flatsigned)

[Shannon]

Crow-Man. Yes, and no. If you go back and read what he wrote, there was always a sympathetic side to it. Or, he would stoke the fires of the members of the forum for a reaction most of the time agreeing with whatever was being said. But in the end ... the Tim Miller screen name disappeared yet people were still talking about him due to this mysterious new "Tim Miller employee". It's very strange, the whole thing. The writing style and grammar is intentionally different, kind of like trying to write a letter in the hand you're not used to, just so people wouldn't think you wrote it.

I was going to say "I guess I was wrong!" But ... they're kinda similar, aren't they?

[Randall Flagg]

They both resolve to Nashville, which is a city/county of over 600,000. Presuming taylor worked for miller, one would think they could both be from the same area.

[Shannon]

Ehhhh, ok. I'll give you that one.

[JTurner]

It's okay, I thought about it and there is no way I will get even close to revealing my identity because of how frivolous Tim is. Also, when I felt comfortable to come on here, he had already moved to Dover, which wasn't a Nashville IP.

As for the COA of Tim's, all it is is a piece of paper. It's supposed to be the thing you send back with a book along with a letter from a real COA company saying the signature was fake. I know there were a few times when he wouldn't return money because he thought people were scamming him, how ironic?

As a rule of thumb, ALL COA's are only worth the paper their written on. There have been nasty allegations of fraud at all of the top COA companies including PSA and GAI, but I can assure you there pieces of paper of worth slightly more than Tim's, and with those you can at least re-sell them.

Don't worry JT, no one really thinks you are Tim Miller. Shannon's just been hitting the crack pipe. I for one appreciate your contributions to this board.

LOL Shannon, I thought you were past the "Crack Pipe" and onto King S/L's???? You have a slip, buddy? LOL I'm here for you my friend!!!!! Talk to me!!! LOL

[Shannon]

Crack pipe or not, I find it very interesting that when the poster in question first came on the scene, his style of writing was the exact opposite of Mr. Tim Miller's. No capitalization, the grammar and spelling of some words were incorrect, etc. When Miller wrote, his posts were very thoughtful and intelligent. When JT started to post, his posts were the opposite. Take a look through his history. And then, over time, the guise of being someone else dropped a little bit, and has evolved into his latest style of writing (above) which is very similar to Tim Miller's.

Am I crazy to be the only one that is even thinking this thought?

If someone wants to write something on paper but not be discovered, he changes his penmanship. He might even write in block letters, or with his alternate hand. Online, the only thing you can do is change the way you write.

[Rahfa]

You're not crazy, but...

The likeliest theory is usually the truth...and I don't see any reason why JT would pretend to be Tim Miller, or vice versa. He's not changing any minds, and not defending Tim, so what's the motivation?

I've actually done business with Tim, and he was always cordial and professional with me...so am I Tim Miller for saying that?

I get what you're saying, but I think you've latched on to an unlikely conspiracy...anyway, I know it's just idle speculation anyhow.

To stay involved in a conversation about him while still bring viewed as an outsider? To stir the pot? Any information is good information, and this thread does have seventeen pages, lol

[Merlin1958]

Can we get past this line of thinking? JT seems awful authentic to me. Then again what the hell do I know?

True...but he's the one giving the information.

Eh, it's amusing to speculate...but I think you're on the long branch on this one...haha....

[Shannon]

Eh, I'm used to it.

[Randall Flagg]

Shall I archive this? It's been over a year.
The thread could be revived if FS rears his ugly head.

[jhanic]

I find it hard to believe that Flatsigned has actually disappeared, but I'd say archive it.

[Shannon]

I still think JTurner was Tim Miller.

This was the only thread he ever posted in.

give me a couple of days to read it before you archive. it is very interesting thread! thanks!

[Roseannebarr]

I am up to page 7. it is a very interesting thread and one that makes you really think when buying signed items from others. People believe they have an authentic signed Stephen King Item and pass it along when selling. Even Betts Books recently questioned books from RAPTIS. It is SCARY

[Randall Flagg]

If members are reading it and posting, I'll hold off on archiving it.

I give you.... TMIDITW!!!!!
