JFK: What we know now that we didn't know then

[Charles Drago]

Charles,

I know where you are coming from, given our past exchanges, but what in the world do you mean by "arguments from authority" as you use it here?

The best Jim Fetzer can do in defense of the indefensible Nelson is to make arguments from authority. It saddens me beyond measure to note that, because of the myriad frailties he exhibits throughout this sordid Nelson affair, it is now clear that Jim Fetzer's authority has been consumed by the fires of his own ego and enfeeblement.

You know I HAVE read the books that you take glee in acknowledging you have NOT read. Which means that the evidence I have available to assess the situation is far more extensive than yours. In that sense, yes, I have greater epistemic authority than do you, where I find it embarrassing that you go on and on about all this WITHOUT BOTHERING TO READ THEIR BOOKS.

History repeats itself.

Backed into a corner, you now call me a liar.

Of course you're wrong. And you know it.

So it goes, so it goes.
