Lets get what we know stright first:

John is born in 1998. He grows up and at the year 2036 he comes back to 2003 and puts up a website explaining whatever.

Now your saying what would happen if 5 year old John was looking at the site 38 year old John made, and died, right?

The explination for this is very simple, and i've been saying it all along. It would not be possible to kill 5 year old John, because he is to grow up and travel back in time from 2036 to 2003 and put up a website.

You could try to kill him, or maybe he tries to kill himself. If I came along and tried to kill 5 year old John, maybe he caught me or maybe I shot him in the leg. Or maybe he juped off the roof but only broke his arm. It doesn't matter because John must live until at least 2036. If somehow John died at 5 years old, then he wouldn't live to the year 2036, and he wouldn't come back in time and make a site and John at 5 wouldn't be looking at it.

You're missing the point: John refers to timelines, which basically talks of
infinite universes. In his case, returning to the "past" simply creates a new
timeline. Killing John Titor of this timeline simply means that even if he had
the chance to go back given perfect conditions, he'd be unable to because
you capped his ass.

You guys need to lay off the "singular linear timeline" bullshit and embrace
multiverses.
