Andrew Gray Wrote:The snarkiness, in fighting and almost constant chorus of "you're a shill" (especially concerning JFK/RFK) in this thread is a microcosm of why this board has all of what, 10 regular posters? I remember being able to access much better and more numerous information from the previous incarnation of the board a few years back, before whatever "coup" of the board took place and turned it into what it is now. Yeah I know, I'm probably a shill, too.
Of what "coup" do you write, Mr. Gray?
How have you arrived at your tally of "10 regular posters," Mr. Gray?
I suggest you get your history right before you comment on it.
Why not open a new thread in which you offer well-considered criticism of what DPF has "become"? It will be welcomed. I promise you.
While you're at it, you might wish to proffer a compelling argument for how ignoring Sunsteinian attacks on forums such as DPF helps preserve and protect our work.
Unless, of course, you're of the opinion that no such attacks take place.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

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.
