Since I actually created the Earp Vendetta Ride page 
In Jan 2006 (which Lastexit edited within 3 mo), I was amused an awed by your clever synthesis, but there's something you missed. Earp was a gentile who married a Jew. Mantanmoreland claims to be a gentile with some Jewish blood, and an admitted fascination with antisemetism (and of course India). I suggested on the TALK page that the easiest explanation of the Mantanmoreland fascination with Weiss, followed by their joint trip to India to the same odd village, where Weiss went to marry, is that Mantanmoreland is simply the person Weiss went to India to marry. That person's an economics geek from the East coast, who now lives with Weiss and has always editted on his time schedule. Duh. My comments were not only deleted, but my conclusions were labeled "silly." They may be wrong, but I fail to see why they are "silly." No evidence has been presented for Mantanmoreland being Weiss which isn't explained just as well (even better) by his biggest fan (Mantanmoreland) being more than a fan (but less than a sock). Anyway, thanks for the essay. Dunno why your ideas are allowed to survive on the evidence page, names and all, but mine are not even allowed on the TALK page. Sheesh.
