Carry on here.

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.

CD speaks for all the founders and owners of DPF. I agree with Peter, we don't need this to resemble in any manner the other forum. I don't even know what that post -the first one- is in reference to, what the argument is. It implies something about George W. Bush. What I don't know as I can think of NO good thing to say about this man.
