You did just take note that you have indeed just supported what I've been saying all along, yes? You just pointed out the difference between a tan and a "complexion."
Your writer/author is speaking in terms of "complexion" or "natural skin tone" as you just so well confirmed. So very-very clearly, he was not referencing "tan" but rather he was referencing just what he said he was referencing, "complexion!" I knew you'd finally do a bit of research on the subject and draw upon this same fact. Well done!
Beal had 4 week he could have been dark as night. About the time he was there!
Why can't you just accept what the author wrote in regards to Beale's identity? That Beale was allegedly a man of, "dark and swarthy complexion." Does this naturally dark and swarthy complexion identify/feature not fit so well with a suspect you and others have selected? Why must he be a Caucasian man? Why must the author be wrong in his identifying of the man especially when the only Thomas J. Beale of record for that era was indeed a freeman of color, who also happened to live in Richmond, "near where they lived." Seems to me that all the stars and dots and TJB's line up pretty darn well VS a Caucasian Thomas Beall/Beal/Beale/etc., who lived in multiple other places, have no "J", and couldn't possibly your man..... So why must TJB be a Caucasion male? Inquiring minds want to know why you're so stuck on something that just can't be, and for multiple reasons already quite conclusively expounded upon in these threads?
I don't think so! That is just one bad opinion.
But you didn't answer the question? Why must TJB be a man of Caucasian with a washable tan despite what the author tells you? That's not bad opinion, that's in obvious direct conflict.
And, yes, each time you guys rewrite the narration with your own alternate/contrary detail you are rendering that only source material as being inaccurate, slighted, and ultimately fictional in nature. So if all of that other detail isn't accurate then why on earth would you still take the author's word in regards to the existence of a real treasure? Why must that still be true/accurate when apparently little else the author claimed was? This is the corner you guys have manufactured yourselves into. And that's not an opinion, that's just cold hard fact from your own hands and minds and your extended manipulation and twisting of the original narration due to lack of any true provenance in support of the original source details.
but his distinguishing feature was a dark and swarthy complexion, as if much exposure to the sun and weather had thoroughly tanned and discolored him;
Sometimes working outside can do that to you!
7000 views!...I have some videos on my Youtube channel that have that much, and way more, and nobody even knows I'm alive on that enormous format. Add to this, any click still counts as a view even if the viewer quickly changed his mind and exited the video shortly after it started playing. As administrators we have access to a lot more data then you're obviously aware of.......can even tell you where all of our traffic is coming from and how long that traffic viewed our content, etc., etc.
And as for facts, as you claim that they relate to Beale, we're still waiting for you drop all of the props, creative sketches, and manipulated word and number play so you can show us your actual direct connection, or provenance that makes all of your props, creative sketches, and manipulated word and number play relevant? Still nothing, of course.
What you, and others, fail to realize is that every time you post all of this other alternate material you're actually further establishing that in reality, there are no direct connections at all and that the story itself holds no true provenance at all. So, we're still waiting on it and you either have it or you don't. Pretty darn simple when all we care about is the actual truth/reality behind the tale. All else is just more unconnected chatter and completely unsupported theory, at best.....
You joined July, 2014,.....I've been here under two different user names since the 90's.See, this is what you have no knowledge of
And you, claiming to be an administrator, are coming here to assert your opinion?
Looks pretty obvious that you are really not playing by the rules?
Who are you claiming to be speaking for Bigscoop?
Establishing rules by which you and ECS are claiming to be enforcing through numerous larps and manipulation of posts unrelated to the topics is something of a strategy and tactic that is well known....

"It was in the month of January,1820 while keeping the Washington Hotel, that I first saw and became acquainted with Beale"...
Complexion has been discussed.....and the description is interesting...
