I'm a bit stunned by this emphasis on propriety. If I don't meet your expectations, then I will welcome the boot! By all means, enjoy your tea and crumpets! Some of us still want to figure out what happened to JFK. I don't mean to insult you, but there is more concern over my tone than there is for the fraud being perpetrated before your very eyes! I really don't need this.
My cover is blown. I'm a provocateur. I'm a fraud.
This is silly. Beyond that, when luminaries of the JFK-research community behave like this, we are all diminished.
Is it possible to close these threads so that we may all move on?
With all due respect Allan, I don't think a thread should be closed because it has become off topic. The solution is to move on, and allow posters to continue the conversation regarding the possible identity of people in Dealey Plaza. No one here thinks you are a fraud. The only way arguments end is by ending them. Someone has to refuse to frespond further.

I agree. Let's not lock it. I don't want to look like we're stiffling discussion.
Jim, I really appreciate that fact that you're thinking about what we've said. And I appreciate your posts to that effect on the other thread. I think we've reached the point of diminishing returns wherein further debate on the same points will only undo some of our progress. I didn't meant to have two active threads on this and I don't want to seem like we're piling on.
Allan, I know I've already said that I'm impressed with your restraint.
So I'll just ask that everyone put this on ice for a little while and focus on other topics. I'm really pleased, and impressed, with the discussion we've already had.
