With all good deference to the posters in this thread (and others) who have participated and who proceed me chronologically, I rise in simple solemnity on a point of personal privilege both to make a point, and ask a question.
The point which I wish to make is that the preceding posts in this thread (as well as many others in other threads) positively reek of a quiet, slightly-smarmy inside smugness of sly meaning decipherable perhaps to those privy to side-channel communications.
Point having been made, I state my personal privilege and question because the inference, possibly, given the fact that the predecessor thread terminated on a discussion of my suggestion, is that somehow I am indicated, involved in, a pass-through for, a backide blocking pulling guard, or otherwise seen in some questioning or disregard on this potent question of folks being at war on the matter of a certain conspiracy or conspiracies and active psy ops, propaganda, and disinformation.
The facts that the posts and the side-channel communications are underway/ongoing and which involve "titular" members of DPF as moderator, founder, administrator and/or other, beg the question -- especially given the phoenician history of this web site, let alone the events (known and or unknown, spoken and clarified or forever mysterious) at other web sites (and their players).
Having been approached by one to participate in an encounter from which I demurred, but having participated in several similar events at non-DPF discussion boards -- I am compelled to ask publicly for a statement of intent and perception with regard to my participation here.
I say that not out of some kind of bravado or in a way that ought to suggest that I am a heavyweight to be contended with. It's just that, given the backdrop in which the US government and its many allies are moving clearly in a way which -- with quite nasty and threatening consequences -- suggests that participation if seen in the wrong light can have serious consequences.
But in recognition that I am indeed small potatoes, I still feel compelled also to state that any discussion -- especially by moderators and administrators -- about members that is suggestive of their complicity as agents in an active way in a discussion about conspiracies demands the same kind of precision and clarity of language that is demanded of scientific, forensic, logical or other forms of evidence.
This thread and many of its comments, along with predecessor comments, should be drawing a penalty flag or a whistle for a foul, or be relegated to an abyssmal chasm.
