Both sides in the argument made a number of really good points.
I found myself switching sides several times.
Unfortunately, the name-calling made it a pretty unpleasant experience to read.
I can only imagine what it was like for you guys.
Without trying to be holier-than-thou (because I'm not), could everyone try to disagree in an amicable fashion?
The personal insults poison the well.
It's particularly tragic because you all have some powerful insights.
I think part of the problem - whether we're talking about acoustics, blood-spatter, medicine or firearms - is that
it's very frustrating to deal with specialized and technical information.
When the lawyers get involved, it's not any better - the experts are referred to as "plaintiff's whore" and
"defense whore".
I think the best way to approach this type of discussion is with a high degree of humility.
Bill, sadly it's the nature of this critical community. And always has been. (Excuse me as I am a lawyer
On a different note I have been told you are being put down on another forum. Your work that is.
The "new one" where you are not permitted to mention DPF. (This was told to me.) And I hear I am ridiculed on Greg Parker's forum. I don't go there.
I have more than I can keep up with here where there are lots of other topics non-JFK that
I have a huge interest in. Here if people flame they get warned, then put on moderation after we all discuss it in depth.

Dawn, I got warned. I stopped flaming, even though I continued to get flamed by others. Yet I am the one put on moderation.
As for what is said at my site.... are you personally responsible for everything said here?
I have been told that the moderation is because of "complaints" about me, the nature of which were not explained. Seems to me that "complaints" were only lodged because attempts to flame me into retaliating and getting kicked off have failed.
This shows once again that you are all scared of a proper debate and will go to any lengths to avoid it. Prove me wrong and stop the moderating nonsense.
