I finally have Horne's 5 vol. but won't get to them because I work fulltime at a very stressful job. When a friend said he had read them last yr. I asked for them for Xmas. My friend said the worst part of the book was the Greer part & I agreed with him based on his report. I am not going to totally dismiss Horne until I can make-up my own opinion with help from people here who may have read them. What do they put in the water in New Zealand? I think you must be an agent of that NZder that has the blog New Zeal.
WTF does my being from NZ have to do with anything lol. But yes. I agree with your friends analysis it is by far the worst part of Hornes book.
I would concur, Mr. Severson. This character seems too wound up and ready to pounce at any moment to be a bona fide researcher. You do not find this type of behavior tolerated in ANY serious, research-based community--and it is immediately discrediting. (Although NZ is a wonderful country.)
As for Volume V of Horne's book, it is as good as the rest--and I have read the entire V volume set. Of the SA Greer trajectory, Horne first states that "the tentative possibility does exist" but then goes on to use stronger language allowing the reader to understand that he is "even more convinced".
I've been researching the arguments for and against this theory--other than the ad hominem arguments--and have yet to find a single reasonable explanation for all of Greer's reported actions. As Horne states "everything fits together perfectly" when one considers Greer as the shooter. I look forward to your own review.
