I would love to see these and other reseachers come over to DPF and help contribute to the cause.I thought it was great to get a new voice to participate(Martin Hay),but he is now most likely gone,cut down on his first post.So,I have to say,how is DPF going to recruite valuable reseachers,after they have seen what happened to Martin?Bill Kelly is already a member,but rarely posts,why?I think he too felt unwelcomed in some way.I think DPF needs to do better if it wants other valuable researchers here.
Just my humble opinion,fwiw.....
I didn't witness what happened to Martin, but I have watched some good hearted people and some very good researchers and journalists [such as Bill Kelly] who either come and then go or post very rarely.....I think Keith has an point and this Forum needs a bit more friendliness unless and until someone really proves themselves a troublemaker. A bit more tolerance would be in order, methinks. Not all who have strange/different or naive points of view are agents provocateurs, and shouldn't be treated as such.
