Everyone on DU is expert at something. [View all]

Some DUers are engineers, others are scientists, lawyers, medical and mental health experts, financial wizards, hunters, chefs, artists, etc.

I learn a lot from DUers and I try to listen when the experts in certain areas speak up.

I am an editor and an expert at listening to people's exact words to understand them. I have decades of experience doing this.

And in my opinion...

There is something very unusual about the supposed texts or Discord messages sent between Tyler Robinson and his roommate.

The language and syntax are stilted and internally inconsistent. They are not just unusual for a 22 year old's texts. They would be unusual for anyone at any age to be writing. As others have said, they sound like poorly executed AI trained on bad romance novels.

That's it. That's the extent of my expertise. I'll leave it to others to draw conclusions. I can think of a few possibilities:

1. Tyler and his roommate wrote the texts and deliberately wrote in this bizarre way, either as a joke or to cover up something. For instance, maybe the messages are a code. Or maybe they just thought it was funny. Maybe it's part of their gamer subculture.

2. Somebody else wrote the messages, perhaps to reinforce the FBI narrative.

I don't have a problem believing that Tyler shot Kirk because Kirk promoted hateful beliefs. I don't have a problem believing that Tyler was in a relationship with a trans woman. Any of this and more is possible.

What is not possible, in my opinion, is that there isn't more to these text messages than they appear. That's all.
