It was started for many reasons, one, like Peter has already posted, was to counter the treatment our founders were receiving at EF. It was also a forum where lone nuts would not be tolerated. In addition our rules prohibit name calling and purposeful baiting. Most of the folks here are very long time deep researchers who are committed to historical truth.
Of late a certain agenda has taken hold here. Some time back we were forced to ban Greg Parker. He seems to have one intent with this case and that is to trash the valuable research of John Armstrong. Perhaps I am not the best person to be posting abut this matter as John has become a close friend over the last few years. I was honored to present for him at COPA on the 50th anniversary. However I read his work long before we became friends and it answered to very many questions for me. Reasonable minds can disagree, and that is fine, but if a person joins DPF with the SOLE purpose of bashing JA then many here will consider this person a troll with an agenda. Perhaps even sent BY Parker.
Unlike David Josephs and others I refuse to engage with these kinds of people because I see them for what they are. And they will not be tolerated.
Fair warning.

Hello Dawn,
I must say you DPers are not very neighbourly - you spent yesterday criticising me and now I'm getting the silent treatment and under orders too! Haven't you folks been voicing your concern that "Master of the Universe", Greg Parker has been directing the thoughts and actions of everyone at ROKC?
The phrase 'pot, kettle, black' comes to mind, for some reason.
Anyhoo, I've got a secret to confess to you Dawn. Like you I am also very, very busy. So busy, in fact, that I have not had time to read Mr Armstrong's book and at the rate I'm going I don't think I'm ever going to have time to read his book (horrors!, I know).
I'm sure it's a very good book - everyone says so - I mean no disrespect to Mr Armstrong at all. But I am no JFK assassination polymath like some in the research community, nor do I aspire to be. So I rely on sites like CTKA and discussion forums like EF and DP to inform me on some of the areas that I don't have to the time to get to myself. And I have to say that the information I've seen has not won me over to the idea of H&L at all.
So now I've made this painful admission, Dawn, in the spirit of mutual confidences, I have a question for you.
Have you read Mr Armstrong's book? And by read I mean have you read it to the very last page? Or did you get most of the way through and then stop?
And then did you go on to give a presentation on this book (which you hadn't finished reading)?
Cos it seems to me if you are going to nail your colours to the wall over this theory then you ought to have at least read the entire book.
