Why don't we all -- starting with yours truly -- step back a few paces and agree on the following:
Paul's "Greer Did It" hypothesis is rejected by everyone else who has participated in these discussions. It does not naturally follow that Paul is wrong. Rather, the facts make this conclusion inevitable.
That being said, Paul continues to be welcome on this Forum -- at least as far as this co-founder is concerned. Thanks to his bold presentations, we have been given opportunities to question and, if not retire, then at least cause grievous harm to one of the most persistent examples of disinformation in the JFK case.
For what it's worth, I do NOT accuse Paul of consciously spreading what he knows to be disinformation. I believe that he honestly believes what he's presenting to be a factual description of the manner in which the fatal shot was fired at JFK.
What I don't appreciate is the degeneration of this discussion into a "you're a proxy/you're a loon" exchange.
Paul, I'm all for outing agent provocateurs and disinformationists in our midst. If you wish to present evidence in this regard, please hold your fire: I intend to begin a thread dedicated to exposing "The Enemy Within" this forum.
Dawn, I ask you too to wait until such a thread is offered -- in a day or so.
Thanks, one and all.
Plainly, CD, I can’t continue membership under such a constraint, so must perforce resign.
As is clear, I’m a convinced Greer-did-it man, and have been now for nearly two decades. I’m used to hostility on this subject, but accept it as the price to be paid for holding a heroically unfashionable view on the case. I hold to that position not out of perversity, but from conviction. Sorry, but there we are.
I’ve enjoyed my membership here, particularly the last week or so, for I believe in the fierce competition of ideas and views, even if occasionally expressed with a vigour – what an appropriate piece of Kennedy diction that is - uncomfortable to many. I regard no enemy as more dangerous to us than that of the easy, unexamined consensus.
It only remains to wish you all well, as I am mindful of all the hard work that has gone into the creation of this website: You’ve created something worth having, and you must defend it as you see fit. I shall continue to look in and read with interest. The really good stuff, I shall, of course, nick, and proclaim my own.
