Well I for one will be VERY sorry to see Paul go. I have never detected any personal animosity in his posts and consider it unfortunate that others apparently have.
He has become one of only a few here whose posts I always read because, in my judgement, they are uniformly knowledgeable, thoughtful and well argued.
I have refrained from commenting on the JFK - Greer issue because I know my limitations when it comes to the detail of competing strands of motive, method, cover-up, disinfo etc. and prefer to remain silent unless I believe I have something useful to offer. That said, it seems to me that Paul has been somewhat 'ganged up on'. I found all his posts on this topic useful. They have not moved me to embrace the 'Greer did it' hypothesis but as far as I am concerned it should be allowed to remain an open question that can at least be debated on a forum like this.
Like Paul, I am congenitally wary of anything that smacks of easy consensus.
Paul, if you do move on, please PM me as to where so I can touch base occasionally. I value your insights.
