Diving Doc: How low can he go?

Of all the history poseurs, Doc, or "nauticalresearch," easily generates the most contempt and loathing of those who oppose HH and their anti-Odyssey campaign.

Why? Well, go to Yahoo and read his literally thousands of pointless posts. He's repetitive, sloppy, contradictory, illogical, libelous, crude and just flat out stupid (did we forget anything?). He apparently thinks the chronic use of the word "germane" qualifies him as an intellectual. And, while his history poseur brethren for the most part keep their skepticism about and hatred toward Odyssey confined to the HH website, Doc has posted nearly 24/7 for almost two years in an obvious attempt to discredit and harm the share price of Odyssey (to little effect, we'd observe).

For these "noble" efforts, Doc finds himself in a court of law, with a hearing scheduled for tomorrow, in fact.

In addition to this stellar background, Doc has had several virtual online meltdowns that appear to have been the result of, hmmm, how shall we say, 'the mass consumption of adult beverages'? (HH Watch has received first-hand accounts of Doc's excessive tippling and subsequent angry, bitter rants to all those around him.) This resulted in several hilarious exchanges in which he accused Jeff and others of controlling the Yahoo board (we know better than that, don't we?) by eliminating and altering his posts, and he threatened others and accused a couple of Yahoo posters of being "pedophiles."

In other words, the guy's an absolute peach and a wonderful representative of the HH posse. (Though, to be fair, we're certain there must be some who are embarrassed by Doc's actions and his libel lawsuit, and we've speculated this may also explain Solomon's occasional rebukes of and bitchiness toward Doc).

For your reading pleasure, then, we've assembled a couple of publicly available court documents related to Doc's ongoing libel lawsuit brought against him by Odyssey. So, now you can judge for yourself the limits of Doc's intelligence and good sense. Happy reading!
