The dissection of a conspiracy.

Despite posting all sorts of photographic evidence that I really do live and ranch here in Venezuela, the doubts continue. Not sure why that is, but it appears to be the case.

Some here say I doth protest too much. In other words, I must be guilty of and/or hiding something because I've brought up the subject a number of times. No, I protest because I don't enjoy being called a liar for no apparent reason. And the accusations continue. Would any of you like your credibility questioned over and over again for no good reason?

I came here to post about ranching and to learn how others are doing it in other parts of the globe. I also happen to enjoy the subject of politics and that's why I wandered into the political forum. Now, I've been around such forums long enough to know that when one opens one's mouth in a political forum, one is likely to get one's chops busted. And that's fine. Bust my chops for my ideas, opinions, or observations.

But to those of you who continue to doubt me, do you really have to follow me to the ranch talk forum and question my veracity there? Do you?

Anyway, I was looking at the very first thread I posted in the ranch talk forum and something caught my attention. Someone asked me about clearing brush on my place and I posted a pic of a D8 I recently acquired with the sale of a piece of property in the city. The photo happened to include my engineer, Socrates, and I jokingly pointed him out by name. This post was made on Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:49 am, which if my memory serves me correctly, was well before I was blind-sided with the accusations of lying about everything I've posted here.

Here's the correct page for the thread:

http://www.ranchers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38679&start=48

And here's the pic I'm talking about:

Yeah, I'll admit the pic of Socrates isn't crystal clear, but it's still a decent photo of the man. Here's another pic of Socrates, note the name on his PDVSA cap.....he worked for them in one of their gas plants.

Now, I'll admit right here that I haven't gone back and looked for the time and date of the first comments made that indicated to me that the poster/s thought I was lying. But I am confident that no such posts will be found that pre-date that pic of Socrates I posted in the Ranch Talk forum.

So, what's the answer here to this mystery? Did I plant the photo and name Socrates before I knew there'd be the accusations of lying on my part? Perhaps it's all just a masterful photoshop job? And how the heck have I come up with so many pics which all appear to be from the same ranch?

Inquiring minds want to know. You detectives splain me these things, please.
