Paul May uses several aliases at different forums. Because he has been ejected from more than one place because he uses very insulting language and makes up stuff to demean his opponent. I know at least one person who was thinking of suing him.
Like in this instance, he says I really don't have any special training as an historian. This is libelous. In the sense that it is false, its done with reckless disregard of the truth, and with malignant intent. In fact, I do have an MA in Contemporary US History from CSUN. I even named my two faculty advisors, who are both still alive. One of them, professor emeritus Paul Koistenon, has written something like a five volume set on the rise of the Military Industrial Complex. He was my principal advisor since his field of expertise matched my interest, modern American History. Here is his amazon page:
http://www.amazon.com/Paul-A.-C.-Koistinen/e/B001HML88I
There are also pages up on projects for my other adviser, Ron Davis.
Glad to see they are still around if I need them for witnesses in a civil action. I for one am a bit tired of the other side lying about who we are and what we do. Plus they do it under cowardly aliases?
I don't know why Jeff Morley allows aliases, because its so easy for a troll like May to come on and you think he is genuine and he turns out to be a troll, who is simply out to lower the debate and smear people.
As per me and Scully and Simkin, I used one post here on that. I think its so stupid and hypocritical that its not worth discussing. But in deference to Dawn, here goes again:
The ostensible reason was that Albarelli complained to Simkin that me and Scully were criticizing his new (crappy) book on the JFK case. Simkin then banned me and Scully. The reason he said was that because we were so critical he could not get authors there for interviews.
Here is my question: What authors have been interviewed there since? None that I can see.
In my opinion, this was simply a pretext to get rid of us over Janney.
Anyway, this caused a mini civil war. And several good people raised a huge first amendment ruckus. And they either voluntarily left or got banned, like Martin Hay and Robert C Dunne.
So Simkin then shut down the forum completely. Lifton started complaining because he said he used it for research purposes. So Simkin brought it back. But if you look at it now, so many good people are gone that its pretty much worthless as far as research goes. The one thread that has any real value is the Sean Murphy, Prayer Man one. And now, OMG, Trejo is back I see. Whew.
He really should shut it down. Its pretty much worthless now. Especially since he eliminated so many posts by good people.
Its funny, because Hasan Yusuf emailed me after it happened and said words to the effect , its none of my business Jim, but I can tell you right now, this will hurt him more than it will hurt you.
I think he was right.
