On August 18th, nine days ago, Dawn Meredith suggested it was time to take Albert Doyle off moderation. He has been suspended since late April and when I started this thread on August 14th I requested an official explanation. But there has been no explanation, and no lifting of his suspension.
The moderator Lauren Johnson clearly broke the Deep Politics board rule #13- identical treatment for all members- which is there to help keep everyone straightforward, to help keep some semblance of order in this Athenian town-square discussion. No one is infallible, and considering the sheer volume of information & dialogue, it's a credit to the JFK research community that more mistakes aren't made. But they pop up constantly.
And it is an injustice to Albert Doyle that he has been suspended all this time for confronting Jim DiEugenio as regards his mis-statement
when promoting Bart Kamp's essay:
"Bart's essay is not about whether or not Oswald is out front in the portal. It's about whether or not he was on the first floor as the motorcade went by the building."
DiEugenio can't use the excuse that just because he posted an edited version of Kamp's essay, he isn't responsible for the contents of the unedited version. Isn't that a bit like posting an edited version of the Warren Report, taking out the key arguments about that LNer Oswald, and then saying you can't be held responsible for praising the Report?
Because Kamp's IDing of PrayerMan as Oswald is the linchpin for his further arguments that LHO was on the 1st floor at the time in question. And once he does that, he's over the Rubicon- he's passed the point of no return as to any impartial determination of whether or not LHO was on the 1st or 2nd floor at the time in question.
**************************************
The entire hoax construction is closer to creative confabulation than criminology- it has a seductive conclusion, but is ultimately flawed. And I will repeat myself- DiEugenio, Kamp, Murphy & the whole ROKC team can get together and attempt to defeat my arguments. They are laid right out in full view at post #82 of the Second Floor Lunchroom thread (add in the Holmes testimony). They form an impregnable aggregate, because I honed them to withstand an assault by 50 fanatical Murphyites.
Their hoax is pure sophistry- misleading but clever reasoning. And Kamp's essay failed to address counter-arguments of which he was well aware, and DiEugenio's endorsement was given without mastering the pertinent lunchroom material. Caveat emptor as regards their position- a years-long politicalization of Truth.
Harold Weisberg is probably the best evidence-theorist in the history of our research community, and in the admirable search for Truth, we must bear in mind that even in inspiration we will oftentimes reach untrue conclusions.
And I do hope we can give this a rest, by re-instating Doyle's posting privileges. No explanation needed. We all have other business to attend to.
