Don,
I have very serious questions about the identity of Doorway Man, the provenance/legitimacy of the image, the early and contemporary manipulations by accessories after the fact of said uncertainty. I don't know who it is.
I think that if you go back far enough in the EF archives you'll discover that I posted very complimentary words about you and your work. I mention this in passing and for whatever it's worth. Our respective contributions to the struggles for truth and justice in this case, however, are hardly the issue in this discussion.
I refer to the EF as a "swamp" because its former co-owner, Andy "Nine Iron" Walker, repeatedly lied when he denied that I was blocked from accessing the site, and because he and the currently AWOL John Simkin have allowed the EF to be infiltrated and manipulated by agents provocateur.
From a March 20, 2010 post on DPF:
[B]Andy "Nine-Iron" Walker orchestrated the effort to drive me from the EF. And throughout, I was his willing accomplice. I set the trap, and the little nitwit walked right into it.
It began when he blocked my IP. Then, in response to a revelatory post I made via a friend's computer, he stated publicly that I had not been banned, that if there was an access problem it must be attributable to a failure of my computer, and that in any event I was lying.
So again I used that same friend's computer, accessed the site, and posted on a topic that now escapes me.
Here's how Nine-Iron gave away his game: The following week I once again tried to access the EF from the same friend's computer, and lo and behold ... its IP address also was blocked.
After a few months and without notice, I once again could access the EF. And no, I had not repaired my computer, which otherwise had worked perfectly throughout this charade.
Nine-Iron made the terrible mistake of attempting to engage me in a battle of wits. Against all rules of gentlemanly conduct, I chose to fire on an unarmed man. He was humiliated, and he quickly disappeared my posts.
He next challenged me to a debate (on God knows what!), understanding full well my position on debating long-settled issues. All the while, Burton and the multiple identities posing as "Colby" egged him on. "Drago is a coward!" they proclaimed.
Yawn.
Nine-Iron is, in my Constitutionally protected and well-informed opinion, a liar, an agent provocateur, and a sissy.

So no, I do not believe that "Colby," for instance, is simply "wedded strongly to his theories." On the EF I clearly demonstrated that "he" is all but certainly a front man for multiple posters assigned to disrupt, disinform, and disparage EF and all its noble contributors. There was nothing "exotic" or "secret" about the methodology I used to argue and, I'd submit, prove my hypothesis. Look it up -- if, that is, it hasn't been sanitized.
"Cinque," too, in my strong and informed opinion, is a pimp for the enemy.
Jim Fetzer is simply a lost soul ... a tragic figure who once was my friend and who now is playing directly into the hands of those he most fervently wishes to defeat.
As for "burning down" the EF, Simkin seems to be doing just that by refusing to acknowledge the critical difference between discussing the assassination of Julius Caesar and investigating the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Hope this helps.
Charles

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
