Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Don Jeffries]

I don't have the expertise that some of you have regarding Albert Doyle's writing style. However, I really don't see any traces of Jim Fetzer in his posts. Fetzer is very distinctive, and unless he's doing an Academy Award level job of hiding it, I think it's reckless to charge that he is the one posting under Doyle's name.

Fetzer has never been shy about advocating things that virtually everyone else slams him about. If he wanted to champion Piper, do you really think he'd shy away from doing that under his own name? This guy stood by Judyth Baker, for something like 200 pages of a record setting thread on the EF, and never backed away, despite almost everyone opposing him. The same thing happened with Cinque and the Oswald in the Doorway stuff. Which, btw, Albert Doyle was perhaps the foremost opponent of on this forum. Why would Fetzer choose now to use his passionate opponent's identity? And why would Doyle agree to let someone he obviously doesn't have much use for do so?

You really ought to think these things out before making such claims on a public forum. I'm as cynical as they come, but I think you're letting your distase for Fetzer cloud your judgment here.
