Wasn't initially going to post it and still can't now be bothered posting the specifics but Walt Brown concludes a latter volume of his massive (and IMO very worthwhile) JFK assassination chronology by nominating, naming and detailing one individual as by far the most obnoxious he's met in the five decades he's been studying the case. Have a guess who that could have been.

I think Harold had a high opinion of about a half-dozen researchers, and the rest he had nothing but contempt for. As much as I respect his work, he wasted a lot of precious time in personal fights and angry letter-writing campaigns. His archives are filled with them. His unpublished manuscripts are mostly petty tirades against other people. Some of it could be blamed on his deteriorating health, but it's very sad that otherwise brilliant people lose sight of the big picture.

Brilliant mate. I really agree with this, I saw a review Weisberg did of Noel Twymans "Bloody Treason." He was correct the book was seriously flawed. Nonetheless, he went off on a tirade at the end about how he knew Oswald was an intelligence agent. However, there still was no evidence of this ermmmmm. He had also to my knowledge attacked John Newman, who had discovered much of the Oswald/intelligence information. I would like to see that... or maybe I wouldn't it's all rather depressing.

I don't mind posting my research for the benefit of others who will follow up on it and expand upon it. But I refuse to partake in tit for tat comments and name calling. I think research requires more than just criticizing the work of others and making cute puns about them and their work. I appreciate David Guyatt, a dear friend, for inviting me back.
