How do you ignore this?
Posted: December 6th, 2009 | Author: James Duncan | Tags: Cooper, Maxwell, Noble, Twitter | 38 Comments »What did NewSpring’s leadership know and when did they know it is one of the key questions in this story. We know what Jason Moorhead knew, but what about Noble and another of his lieutenants?
We know that Noble and Brad Cooper routinely monitor messages coming into their Twitter accounts by people who send them messages. These messages appear in their accounts whenever someone drops their Twitter name into their own messages, so a tweet that said, “@perrynoble you rock!” would appear on Noble’s personal page. We know that he reads these because he often replies to them. For an example, look at his response to MrJaceBreeback that I referenced in the Tied to the Mast post. Noble only follows 30 people, and MrJaceBreeback is not one of them. Cooper does the same thing.
Josh Maxwell often directed his messages in my name to Noble and Cooper. What follows is a list of those messages with their posting date. Every one of these appeared in their Twitter account, which we know they read regularly.
How did they not notice these, especially when they all had my name attached to them?

What was their response? You’ll need to ask them.
- Did they read them and just ignore them, not noticing their content? How do you not notice something askew in these messages?
- After reading the first few, did they block messages from jamesduncanAU from showing on their pages? If so, why? If they thought these messages were really coming from me (and they knew who I was), they should have used them to destroy my reputation. If they realized these were coming from someone who had appropriated my identity, why not try to get this person to stop? Simply blocking would have been a pretty weak response.
- Did they read them and think they were funny?
One way or another, at least some of these messages passed by their eyes. Ignorance of Maxwell’s content is not a rock-solid excuse for their passivity.
Here’s the other thing. Maxwell knew that Noble and Cooper read these. How did he interpret their silence? The same way that he interpreted Moorehead’s silence, perhaps?
As approval.
