If we do not have any posts from one Charles Gadda anymore. here's why:

http://manhattanda.org/whatsnew/press/2009-03-05.shtml

And now that the board is incorporated, the modearors might want to keep an eye on how frequently they allow someone to spew undocumented chargess such as those Gadda has made here (rigging, anti Semitism, etc, etc.) against scholars and scholarship.

Damn! I knew Hudson was on to something. So, now all the posts in this thread will be coming from the same New York County jail?

Egads.

XKV8R has the full story.

I think (hope) that Gadda is a unique case.

It seems someone, who may be silly enough to use others' identities because he apparently believes that is the only way he can spread his views around, has been arrested, not for embezzlement, theft, conspiracy to commit high crimes, or acts against the state, but because of what seems to me to be frustration in the scholarship monopoly of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Great, isn't it, this victory for the American justice system?

If true, it is a victory for stupidity (on the part of Gadda) and stagnancy (on the part of the old school DSS analysts and those who depend on them). I have dealt with enough Essene hypothesists in my life to know that if your scratch their beliefs they have no substance behind those beliefs.

Condolences to the injured parties.

Identity-Theft Arrest in Dispute Over Dead Sea Scrolls

Quote:

Reached at his office in Chicago on Thursday afternoon, Professor Golb said he was shocked at the allegations leveled against his son, who is a real estate lawyer and has a Ph.D in comparative literature from Harvard.

“My son is an honorable person,” Professor Golb said. “He could not have done such a thing.”

Professor Golb said that opposing scholars had tried to quash his views over the years through tactics like barring him from Dead Sea Scrolls exhibitions. He said he saw the criminal charges as another attack on his work

Raphael Haim Golb's research dissertation: The Problems of Privacy and Trust in Modern Literature, and their Relation to the Idea of Freedom

I'm having a hard time reconciling the Charles Gadda who posted here with a 49 year old real estate lawyer who has a PhD in comparative literature from Harvard.

Larry Schiffman was reported thus: '"It was horrible," said Schiffman, 60. "He wrote in my name to my university as if I was writing. He wrote various accusations against me. He wrote to my graduate students, TAs [teaching assistants] and deans."' (NY Daily News) Norman Golb defended his son against any wrong-doing. (See also NYT)

Why is that, I wonder, especially after you had been informed months ago about who CG is.

In any case, you have his IP address. Check it against the data you'll find here:

I think you are confusing conceptualization with realization.

It was known but is still difficult to reconcile.

I know the IP addresses and I've already provided that link. But I didn't know the personal details about Raphael Golb. I would expect someone with a PhD in literature and a law degree (and some maturity?) to be able to argue his case more persuasively, even recruit some real followers instead of having to invent them. :huh:

Toto · 03-06-2009, 04:22 PM

A New York City judge released Raphael Golb on his own recognizance today

Will Charles Gadda start posting here again?

Another take

Quote:

This sad Times story must be incorrect. If indeed Schiffman discovered Golb was impersonating him, I am sure that he would have called Golb and his father and demanded that he stop the charade. That's how things are done within a civilized community.
