Jim,
What started out as a friendship and a very fine relationship between two brothers-in-arms committed to a common goal has now deteriorated into name calling. A pity.
When I did not agree with your Doorman thesis, your reaction to that disagreement was caustic...from the beginning. This is not conducive to discovering the truth. None
of us have a monopoly on the truth. I am at a loss to explain, with certainty, why you had and are having such a reaction. I have allowed myself to speculate, simply due
to the fact that you are still continuing to sell this thesis without following your own rules of critical thinking--the same rules you taught for 35 years. I know that you have
been very angry with me for having expressed that to you, first privately, and then publicly. But, is that not what friends are for? If you never respected my mind, my intellect,
my integrity, and my honesty then I would not be surprised at your rejection of my evaluation of this matter. However, how is it that you justify silencing me and so many around
you that you once trusted because you will not accept that we disagree with you? You won't even agree to disagree. Worse, you won't even acknowledge legitimate arguments.
I am not saying: You should concede--I am saying you don't even acknowledge the legitimacy of the arguments.
For instance, I am not asking you to abandon your belief in LHO as Doorman. However, I think you should not use Fritz' notes. Why? Because they cancel themselves out!
Even if the notes unambiguously indicated Oswald was out front--they also indicate he changed his shirt between the time of Altgens 6 and the time LHO was photographed in
the shirt that resembles Doorman's shirt. Can you not at the very least acknowledge that those of us who have brought this to your attention might still remain honorable men?
