To wrap this thread up, several of the personal stories about that other online forum are really memorable. For example, Peter Lemkin's tale of all those thousands of deleted posts is simply devastating, especially for those who know how significant and thoughtful Peter's articles often are.
I'd like again to reiterate that arguments and even protracted feuds between various members of ostensibly "open" fourms are hardly unusual, and probably (and sadly) to be expected. What is truly untenable, though, is the situation that results when the administrators of such a forum--those with the ability to censor individual members and specific posts--clearly choose sides. Even more alarming is when these same individuals eliminate a post about the prime suspect(s) in this case because they find it "unsavoury." It is pretty clear to me where the people running that forum stand.
Thanks once more to Magda for making an exception to forum policy, thus allowing the EF administrators' censorship to be shown and preserved here.
Stuff that is hopefully far more interesting is coming right up: A new write-up by John Armstrong examining the evidence that Oswald left the TSBD via a Nash Rambler station wagon versus the evidence for the bus and taxi ride. This story strikes me as a microcosm of this whole, sordid case.
