I just spent the last few hours catching up on the final death throws of the EF. It is a great shame that such could not wait until after the 50th - that is almost in 'unspeakable' territory, whatever I feel about some there. Dunne's facial identity was allowed to be hidden, I only wondered if his name was too - its really not important. He thoughtfully speaks the truth, and although very highly respected by Simkin, and they exchange some private messages, as well [as I once did with JS, back in the 'old days], he is not afraid to call JS 'out' and call a spade a spade. He never posted often, but when he did all of sound mind read his words carefully, as they were crafted carefully and thoughtfully. One does have to question, however, the fact that certain people were dismissed for what JS perceived as crossing the line, while other clowns who have almost never made a post that did not, are allowed to remain. Dunne's brilliant piece on those who call out the liars getting harsher treatment than those who simply lie is true and enlightening. Evenhandedness was never a EF strongpoint..
