Greg - the impulse to engage, to offer evidence, to test a hypothesis amongst knowedgable people, is important and noble. I have complete respect for your posts in that Swamp Cinque/Fetzer thread, in which you were one of several fine researchers pointing out the fatal flaws in their Lovelady/Altgens hypothesis. You have demonstrated that you are a more patient man than me.
Equally, you understand the arguments put forward in this "Danger" DPF thread, particularly the analysis of Charles, Phil and myself that the impact and consequences of what has happened over there is akin to a Sunsteinian psyop.
It is perfectly legitimate to propose a new hypothesis, present the evidence, and allow that evidence and hypothesis to be tested in a public forum. However, a dialectic must take place. A hypothesis must be revised in the light of new information or analysis of its evidence. Once the evidence upon which a hypothesis is proposed has been destroyed, then the author of the hypothesis should gracefully withdraw it. Instead, Cinque and Fetzer have used bluster, evidence of the shoddiest and even fictional kind, and diversionary tactics to carry on insisting that they are right and the entire research community - across the spectrum of informed and technically knowledgable judgement - is wrong.
The Cinque/Fetzter Lovelady lark is a smouldering pile of trash. When they defend it on MSM, as they surely will, MSM will draw the same conclusions as us without acknowledging our work. Instead, the entire research community will be ridiculed, speared through the heart as if Cinque and Fetzer represent our best efforts.
I am not surprised to see the Military Censor reappear and give this garbage a brand new landfill site to stink out.
Where is Simkin?
AWOL. As usual.
