If it weren't for the likes of Pat Speer, Larry Hancock and James Richards, I wouldn't ever check out the site. Unfortunately, I doubt they'd post over here.
Pat Speer seems like a nice guy but his work is the worst.
The. Worst.
In the entire field he occupies a special place -- the "CT" who backs LNers at the important points -- the location and nature of JFK's back and throat wounds.
And Len Osanic gave this Vichy pixie dust a spot in his "50 Reasons" series?
May the Universe help us.
I don't post at the Ed forum JFK section anymore because Pat Speer is a moderator and his work inspires so much contempt I no longer dare express myself in this regard over there.
I have too much to lose, for now.
The Ed Forum ranks high in Google and I get more hits over for what I really care about:
"The Origin History of the term 'Hardcore Punk Rock'"
http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index....opic=20940
It would be great if, instead of closing down the entire Ed Forum, Simkin just closed down the JFK section and kept the rest of it open.
Hardcore punk rock is more relevant than EVER
Louder-faster-shorter songs + DIY ethic + a subversive intent sharp and sincere
Like any "parent" I'm proud of my "kids"...
