Many Kossacks probably remember edscan. He was a man in his early 80's who wrote many diaries at the site and even made the Rec List regularly for a while.
He was unique in several different ways
- The special form of verse he wrote in, which many here called edku
- His unique and thought-provoking single tag at the end of every diary
- The "conspiracy"; this was the most intricate conspiracy theory I've ever heard about. It was so intricate, so dark, so dangerous that he was never able to fully explain it, though I tried to fill in the details.
It was the last of these that got him banned. As with pretty much all conspiracy theory, "the Jews" were involved, and I believe his harping on this got him kicked off the site.
Anyway, I bring edscan up because I got an e-mail from him this afternoon
I need your help to be reinstated at Daily Kos.
There are many "dark figures" that need to be exposed.
I have the information, we just need public opinion.
edscan
Now, I have no interest in helping him be reinstated. Of course there are figures I like to see exposed (if you get my drift), and dark ones are cool too, but I don't think this is what edscan has in mind.
Nevertheless, I decided to diary it and at least broadcast his request. After all, the e-mail did contain his full real name, which is none of your freakin' business, but it did confirm that either he's legitimately the octogenarian he claimed to be or did his homework in impersonating one. My money's on the former.
Armed with this most personal information, I decided to do some Googling.
And lo and behold, I found an intriguing letter to the editor by the man
to the Atlanta Journal Constitution in the late 90's
(every other word censored to satisfy srkp23)

That's all I got.
Time to discuss.
