Where the heck is Albert Doyle?

[LR Trotter]

Will you give it a rest Rich?

I have said three times so far that I have refused to take part in these debates, since they are not actually debates. They are more like pissing contests.

Everything I said about Bart's essay is true and neither you nor Trotter can show me where that reference he used is in the edited essay at K and K.

Why? Maybe because its not?

So what did Trotter do? He did what Doyle did, he found the much longer version, which I had edited down for posting. Doyle and Trotter, and you now attack me for what was not in my ​edited version.

Yep, that is what they do folks. And this is my point about a religious crusade. Rich and Doyle want to set up a kind of barbed wire intellectual fence around anything that ROKC writes on this issue. And so they use me as their trampoline to launch another thread on this. Which, to me, is pretty low. But they don't care. That is how religiously obsessed they are.

I signed off on this debate at EF when I saw how crazy it had gotten. I signed off on any debate here when Doyle started using these kinds of nutty tactics against me. I have said more than once the PM issue will not be decided until you get a better copy of the film(s). And I tried to do that, but failed. Which is a lot more constructive than anything Doyle and Gilbride have done.

The article posted at K and K is about where Oswald was at the time of the shooting. It is also about whether or not the Baker/Truly/Oswald incident occurred at the soda machine. It contains valuable information not available elsewhere on those issues. That is why we published it. Sorry, I do not practice intellectual apartheid.

10-4, Over and out.

Speaking solely for myself, Mr DiEugenio, I can assure you that I sought the actual article for clarification, and did not seek any different version. I continue to believe your "that article as edited", or "the article as edited" comment was not a sufficient indication that your comment referred to "your edited version". Had I known that you were referring to "your edited version", I would have acknowledged that and posted accordingly. If I am due any criticism, it should be my failure to see past the ambiguity expressed in your comment. The accusations, name calling and association insults are uncalled for. And, as the saying goes, we are entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts.

So, hopefully, this is my last post about this subject, and as well on this thread. But, I continue a sincere attempt to avoid character insults and name calling, and especially I prefer to avoid saying anything with a keyboard that I would not say in person.
