Not through here, usually. I can only think of two times I have seen him in here, at least as himself.....and the most recent time was not a good thing.
He DID jump in about a year ago, when we had a thread about Hart's Hope.....just to tell us that we were analyzing it all wrong...lol....
I think your chances of a response are higher if you send an e-mail and allow him to get to you on his own time. No, I don't have the e-mail address. It has to be on the site around here somewhere.

Searched. Probably hidden. Like Freud's "unconsciousness", not a locked office; but rather a dark, damp cellar.
I guess OSC is that mythical anonymous writer who cannot be accesses whatsoever; he has web-pages but is never alerted of progress, or at least he shows no sign of it.
Did anyone even verify his picture, that it's his?
Maybe OSC is not real, just a character made by someone, and all speeches are pre-written etc.?
Several members of the board have met Mr. Card in person, I believe. There's one member of the board who claims to have known him since he was born. I'd say the chances are about 90% he's a real person.
He has an (apparently) innocent name. He is very ntellignt, he puts China in evil light in Shadow of the Hegemon... Ever since they broke away from Moscow. He makes the US seem a bit petty in Ender's Game, that was before he wall fell...
He never seems accessible...
He's inflirating the CIA!
Jonny
P.S. Does anyone else beside me make up bizzare theories like that on the spot?

I think there are actually at least two members here at Hatrack that have known Card their entire lives ... and one knows him well enough to have married him

kat, I don't believe OSC's eddress IS anywhere on Hatrack. The preferred method of contacting him, I think, is exactly as Jonny did -- via the Help Desk.
Good luck on getting a response.

*laugh* I'd give it a couple days. I'm fairly certain the helpdesk is personed by volunteers.

All he needs is to state a paragraph about Israel - unless I agree to full extent, I can easily debate. The whole thing is really fun; besides, I can read and only send an e-mail 4 hours later or so.

Rivka, unless the posts containing his email address have dropped off the forum (and they could have--I haven't seen one in quite awhile), his email address is indeed floating around here and there. I've seen people post it multiple times.

Come to think of it, so have I, actually. But I don't believe it's the Officially Sanctioned Method.

I think it simply isn't a Standard Successful Procedure® (oops! That's a registered one, not that ™ makes much sense. A trademark should be registered).
I scanned for it in Google, and the only reply I got for '"OSC's email" site:hatrack.com' was one who wrote to him in March. I e-mailed her, a reply is yet to be given.
