I will be a guest on a radio show, next Sunday night 9/7/14. I will be debating Thomas Horan on why or why not there was or was not really a zodiac killer. I will post more details here soon.

Great..instead of discussing to long it might be a good idea to ask people who had known Darlene Ferrin or Cheri Jo Bates to join the forum…

I’m hoping the show will be more than a debate and discuss the case in general

This will be interesting to hear, morf.

I think that for anyone not overly familiar with the case, Horan does present an attractive theory: ie. there was no Zodiac, these cases aren’t related and we’re all wasting our time.

But it’s full of holes – what was LB, for one? – and he does have a slightly arrogant and condescending attitude towards anyone who disagrees with him.

Horan has a slightly arrogant and condescending attitude in the same way that the Grand Canyon is a small crack in the sidewalk.

Well, yes…I was trying to be judicious

Never paid much attention to Thomas Horan, simply because he is a world class blow hard.

Issue with debating him is that while his theories won’t stand up to even the slightest amount of fact checking, he will probably keep using false information as fact. Good news is that he has to argue against a massive library of Zodiac police files, FBI reports and physical evidence. He can’t just discredit everything, can he?

Best of luck in the debate!

Do your THING, morf!

You’re a good man, Morf.

I would be terrible on this show.

Thanks all, I will post the pertinent links etc this week

the fact that nitwits like Horan can still get airtime, press whatever, just goes to show how much of a fu@#en circus the zodiac case has become..just one of the many little side effects from the birth of the internet IMO..

He can’t just discredit everything, can he?

Uh, yes. Prove anything though? Uh, no.

It will be interersting to hear if he holds it together on radio, won’t it?

As is this post, IMO. Miaow!

Mike – not sure why you’re bothering, but have a good time. Chin up, watch out for his left.

Mark Twain — ‘Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.’

That is one of my favorite quotes. I use it all the time. I always attributed it to my mother, who used to say it to me. Now I see it’s from Mark Twain. I should have realized it was too profound and eloquent to be something my mother made up. Anyway, it is most fitting in this thread. Still, I hope Morf does a great job in exposing Horan for the fool he is. If there’s anyone on here who can, it’s Morf.

Best of luck on the show, morf!

Looking forward to hearing more about this.
