Gee - since the prof is keeping the antonymous student anonymous is it a big mystery that *all* of the news accounts based on his interviews say the same thing ?
“I can’t find (out of perhaps 10 stories) a single shred of evidence showing that the student exists. Not a single little bitty shred. Not one.”
How about the statement from the prof that he received an email from him ?
Perhaps you mean corroborating evidence ? ( which kind of negates the entire anonymous concept )
You said — “How about the statement from the prof that he received an email from him ?”
No evidence of it even existing; we’ve never seen it... that’s one of the problems.
What would be a “half-way” gesture, in that regard, although not completely satisfactory, would be for him to present the e-mail in its entirety and blank the originating IP number, and the sender’s e-mail address (but leave all other header information totally intact — because that can be forensic information. Let us see the *exact wording* of the e-mail.
It wouldn’t solve all the problems, but it would be a simple “gesture” of openness.
