Reactions from those who believe(d) in Survivors

[PrincessSophie]

Well, some of those AA supporters are simply accusing the Russian authorities of  downright lieing and mis-information.  That is their blanket response.
 They are not about to accept any results of any tests, no matter what the outcome.  They did not accept the previous results, even though Dr. Maples said it was Anastasia who was missing, and the Russians said it was Maria.  Ultimately, it does not matter which GD was buried in which grave, as they both will be accounted for as suffering the same fate, no matter what any doubters may proclaim nor how loudly they proclaim it.

You are right, Robert.  There are those who make a profession out of conspiracy.  Everyone is lying etc.  But ask yourself this.  Why would the Russian Government want, or need, to lie about this?

I am concerned about the many generalities being tossed around about so called "Anna Anderson supporters". Off the top of my head, I can think of only two people who might qualify as such - Peter Kurth and "Chat Noir". Thus far, I have yet to see a direct quote from either of these individuals about the recent discovery.

Please excuse me, but after pages of posts I can find no actual "reactions" with the possible exception of John Kendrick, who has written about the Vancouver Alexei. It would be helpful to actual discussion, I think, if we could know what the actual reactions are, as opposed to a continuous self-congratulatory speculation about what "Anna Anderson supporters" are saying about the discovery.

Lisa, all you have to do is go to the King and Wilsonn Forum and you will see the reactions- in their own words. They do not bite there.

Yes the information is all there to see.

5.  Nagant bullets were found with the remains, which EXACTLY match the same Nagant bullets from the mass burial site.
6.  Pieces of japanese jars containing japanese made sulfuric acid were found which EXACTLY match the pieces of similar jars found in the                  mass burial site

AHA!  And are ALL the original fragments present and accounted for?  Couldn't have been reburied, could they?

[CorisCapnSkip]

  Is he still to be addressed as "Pope Peter"?

As in "his word is gospel"??

For those who didn't see the Nova special, as in, "If this was a Polish factory worker, I am the pope!"

Thank you Lisa.

Lisa, I doubt that there will be actual reactions posted here by those from whom Rachel was interested to hear. So if that's the only thing you are looking for and no other discussion is allowed, perhaps this thread should be locked?

I agree with Dmitri.

I second that thought Helen.

Why lock the thread?  The reactions ARE being posted now, exactly what was asked for. And I am glad FA started it. Those people are just as entitled to their opinions as we are to ours.  As long as it remains civil, disagreement is ok, in my opinion. There are unreasonable stances on both sides of this issue, as there are on many others as well.  There are also some valid reasons for locking a thread, especially when it becomes a forum for hostlie and insulting posts or when a subject has just been beaten to death with endless reposts, but, so far,that has not happened here- yet.

... when a subject has just been beaten to death with endless reposts...

Don't worry, it's just a matter of time until you-know-who shows up ;-)

Robert Hall, I love you! Thank you so much for this post. We need to remain civil. There are some unreasonable stances among all groups on many issues. I see no need to become hostile or to insult any other person.

That said, it was me who opened up this discussion, and I will not lock this thread unless it becomes insulting, hostile, or lacks civility. I hope that we can have a discussion that is worthy of the best of all of us, and not the worst.
