I've certainly had my disagreements with Debra and with the Sixth Floor, and believe they are dead wrong on the Plaza commemorations, but let's use a little common sense.
The Lancer conferences and journal made valuable contributions; Lancer published some good research (including my own work on Oswald's military files); those and other contributions deserve recognition.
As for the Sixth Floor, they've released two valuable DVDs, and Gary Mack has collected a huge amount of materials formerly in private hands, and made it accessible to researchers. His journal Cover-Ups was one of the better ones.
Both deserve recognition for their positive contributions, and not blanket dismissal for their errors. Don't throw the babies out with the bathwater.
