I agree with Peter.
Take on Jim Fetzer in response to his provocations where they occur.
To start a new thread simply to attack Fetzer is pointless, in defiance of this forum's spirit, and wholly counter-productive.
By all means have at Fetzer and anyone else if you stand in opposition to their stated positions. But I'm not even close to declaring that Fetzer is wittingly carrying our common enemy's water, and my arguments with him, no matter how strongly I express them, are focused on his stands on specific issues and are offered when and where he makes those stands.
I reiterate: Said arguments are made directly to him within the frameworks of relevant threads.
Have I violated my own rules of engagement? Probably. If so, I apologize to Fetzer and to the readers of this forum.
And no, it most assuredly is NOT a shame that Fetzer posts here. While some of what he posts is indeed shameful, Fetzer's presence on DPF is welcome for the light he shines -- intentionally or otherwise -- on our common enemy's methods.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
