Because DiEugenio's presence there was seriously detrimental to those spooks.
I observed the debates between DiEugenio and the deniers. I found that when it is reduced to the old school gilded age debate level of gentlemen scholars defending their honor and claims you see the best of their wits emerge and get the best information.
I think Simkin realized his pretend support for both sides was being shown to be the farce it was and that it had allowed liars and dishonest rogues to pretend they were offering honest debate. I think that made him feel guilty so he blamed those who were in the right instead of blaming the true cause. Von Pein is someone who doesn't deserve a seat at the Education Forum. He has evaded enough facts and used evasive diversion and dishonest argument to get around conclusive cases of evidence enough that he doesn't deserve the honor of equal bid. Yet he is given so only because of an artificial need for fairness and tolerance of free speech. Most intelligent people can filter out the rancor and personal attacks in order to suss out what is what. Honest people will see that Colby and Von Pein are like tolerated caricatures representing a purely technical side but not recognized by the wise majority. From what I've seen the best arguments and examples of proof derive from this contest.
In my opinion, no matter the reason the site lacks from DiEugenio's absence and those fools gain by default. Simkin's folly.
