Kate, when I asked questions concerning your research, especially when it came to Paco Anaya's book, the last thing I thought I was doing was fighting. I was merely asking you to clarify yourself as to the quotes you mentioned concerning Billy calling the Garcia's his in-laws. If that's your idea of a fight, so sorry. I'm also sorry you weren't able to answer my questions.
Then again, why am I replying to your post? You said you were leaving. Possibly, you won't even see this.

Ms. Can Chaser Kate did a speech very simular over at Lucas' discussion board when a person who was a pro at genealogy research questioned her findings. She declared she was leaving there too...I'm sure she'll see these posts...It's rare that someone declare they are going to leave and then actually leave. They stop posting for a time, but they never leave.

I'm sorry she couldn't answer my questions as well, and it is a shame that she misunderstood us and thought we were picking a fight with her. Because of all the people who claim kinship to Billy, I can't help but be skeptical of thier claims. All I wanted to do was find out the truth about her lineage. The information she posted in a different discussion here at Marcelle's did not answer any questions or even proved lineage. She can say she is related to BTK until she is blue in the face, but without documentation (which she says she has but never produced), she is just another person claiming to be related to BTK. One of very many.

Oh well, as the saying goes, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

Kate, as I pointed out on that other thread where this “kinship to Billy the Kid” debate started, we were not picking on you, we were simply questioning your rather outrageous theories (if I may say so) that you declared as “facts,” as well as asking for explanations on how you came to your conclusions, which you couldn’t do. The fact that you are avoiding our questions just proves us right, so why don’t you just say "I have no proof, this all just my own personal beliefs, take it or leave" and that would be the end of it.

Now I’ve been asked to prove my facts and instead of running and hiding like your doing, I do what I can to support my statements or admit that it was only my opinion, but then again, I’ve never really put myself in that position in the first place. You’ll notice throughout my site, that I use the phrases “in my opinion,” “my conclusion” or “it has been said” on questionable topics concerning Billy the Kid. For example, on how Garrett killed Billy: I don’t believe Garrett’s story that Billy just "happened" to walk in on him and personally I believe he premeditated the killing and ambushed Billy, but I never said my “conclusions” that Garrett ambushed Billy was indeed FACT, because I have no proof –it’s my own opinion. Now if I did, then I deserved to be challenged and asked to provide evidence on where I came to that conclusion.

Now you had set your own self up for skepticism and criticism. You posted off the wall claims as facts, you falsely quoted people and then had one of your buddies (and I know who it was) come here pretending to be Billy the Kid’s ghost preaching your theories. So yes, you have lied here and tried to deceive us. So what do you expect?? Do you honestly think we’re all a bunch of gullible morons who would embrace your ideas and personal beliefs as facts with NO PROOF? We know the history of Billy the Kid better than that.

If your findings are indeed accurate as you say, then you should send your research to top Billy the Kid historians like Fred Nolan. I can bet my life, they’ll be less cordial with you then we have. But I don’t think you’ll do that, you’ll just continue to try and preach your beliefs to those who don’t know any better.

I’m sorry it has come to this Kate, but we didn’t do it to you, you did it to yourself.

As the others have said, we had no intentions of starting a fight; all we were doing was asking questions.

I have nothing else to add to this thread, so all I have to say is: Happy trails, Kate. I hope you find luck elsewhere.

To be quite honest, I am not very disappointed that Kate will no longer be visiting (although I am quite certain she will) or posting on this site. I will be blunt and honest here, I was getting sick of hearing her claim that she was related to every single person ever metinioned in any of these posts. A lot of us would like to be related to famous people. In her case I think she took her fantasies and tried to make us believe they were reality. If nothing else she certainly did stir the pot for awhile. ADIOS AMIGA!
