I just took a look at the "new" Spartacus JFK page. I went through the McAdams thread among others. Someone quoted my show with Len Osanic about McAdams.
Well, Len Colby and Von Pein went off on this one.::face.palm::
Colby actually said that I indicated that McAdams initiated the whole affair.
Not true. And anyone who listens to the show will understand that. What I said was that a real inquiry should determine IF that was the case or if McAdams antics encouraged such a thing. And I explained what I meant by that.
The other thing was that McAdams should have gone to her dean if he had a complaint about Abbate's conduct. Rather than publicize it on his blog and expose her unfairly and inaccurately. As I said, by doing that, he was setting her up for ridicule and personal attacks.
How anyone could disagree with that eludes me. But see for yourself. They did.
As everyone knows Spartacus is trying to come back after a series of purges over a period of several years. It was actually shuttered by Simkin, but people like Jim Gordon though it was worth saving.
What I don't understand is this: If you really wanted to save the place, you would not repeat the errors of the past. The trolling Len Colby was one of the reasons DPF was started.
One of my informants gave me a load of Colby's background. I couldn't believe it. I stopped talking to him after this. One of the things he showed me is how Colby went to a sniper forum and asked them if the MLK kill shot was a tough shot. LOL
Of course they said no since it was from straight across the street at a relatively short distance. The problem was that the state's case had Ray standing on the rim of an old fashioned stand up bath tub, bent down and trying to get his rifle barrel through the window. That angle was so bad, that later the museum on the site moved the tub away from the wall. When Paris Match took a picture trying to simulate this, howls of laughter accompanied it.
Colby didn't think that was important.
Anyway, with Len Colby and David Von Pein there, good luck trying to rebuild. I don't think that makes up for losing RC Dunne, Dwayne Dunn and Martin Hay, among others.
As Santayana said, what we learn from history is that we don't learn from history.
