Its really hard to believe what has happened to that forum.
I mean, from what I understand, it was Lifton who was instrumental in getting it back up after Simkin pulled the cord on it.
And now Lifton is barely there at all.
Gordon and Dolva and a few others decided to try and revive it after the Simkin purges i.e. when he banned me and Scully, and then there was a near mutiny and several of the best posters left e.g. Hay, RCD etc.
Now, I mean Von Pein, Trejo and the anti Armstrong horde from down under? I mean David is correct, every once in awhile there is Larry Hancock and Steve G come up with a good post, but where is the edification there? I mean I think one actually could argue you get stupider by reading it.
Does no one ask DVP, "Hey Dave, your book is not doing very well at all is it? I mean, it has not gotten under six digits at Amazon as far as I can see. And its only about five months old. Therefore, do you really think you are promoting it here at the EF? Do you think anyone will buy it here? Or anyone will buy it at your web site who has not already? Why not go somewhere that you might be able to sell it? Have you done any radio shows? Why not reply to Martin Hay's review?"
But no one asks him that do they? They actually go around the mulberry bush with him for days on end. Like with that stupid lapel flip thing. I mean all you have to do is look at JBC's jacket to detonate that one.
