Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Seamus Coogan]

Al mate cmon! Let's go and ask Jim Douglas who he believes killed JFK shall we mate? It sure as hell won't be Israel, nor do I think he'd opt for Israeli involvement. This is where people have to be careful bro, because you were here with me and CD when we gave JF a bit of a poke for imbibing Douglas' work with his own crazed ideas concerning Phil Nelson. One swallow does not a summer make my friend.

A friendly word of advice: The appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.

I can see where you are at CD, I can also see what Al was saying about Douglas in the previous post. Yet, since my experience with JF and PN. I get a little jumpy when Douglas is bought into the equation.

Lest we forget Jim Di and yep GME our respective 'totems' have been taken out of context to support many an argument. A case in point is Piper himself. In the links I noted he used a comment by GME, which was rather sardonic towards Pipers efforts and seems to have made out as if GME was in support of his book. Another one I came across was Jim Di being quoted as an advocate of the La Rouchies by Piper as well. Something I seriously doubt. I think an appeal to a higher authority or an author to get clarification on a point is thus pretty kosher and not at all insane. Hell, you've asked me before to explain some or other decision or comment I've made on here. I actually welcome the chance to clarify a point. As would you welcome my enquiries were I to deal with a piece of Evica's I was struggle with, had a disagreement over or had got wrong. A

As for Pipes book Al and its being a hot bed of information, trust me buddy I have read it. I will again likely as I plan to do an essay on it, with a few contributors.
