The odds are extremely low that it was Sykes himself, it was just a really idiotic and transparent attempt to bash CYDY while posing as a research firm that doesn't actually exist, and that posted exactly one thing under a poorly thought-out pseudonym.
Not sure how that became a "strange obsession", but I guess today is as good a day as any to begin an internet feud with someone....defending Tim Sykes? OK. Have at thee, scoundrel!
