I do not think that Jim's criticism of Russ Baker's books is a problem and it is certainly not a division. Differences of opinions must be expected. We are a critical community and because of that we tend not to accept things unless they have been tested.
Being part of a community of like-minded people where there is a general agreement that a deep political state exists, assassinations are not the work of lone gunmen, media cover-ups of important issues occur etc., does not require that we accept every hypothesis or book written on these issues. People can be united by a consensus on the larger issues while disagreeing on specific issues. We all agree that Kennedy was assassinated by conspirators but we do not need to agree on how many shots were fired or whether or not a certain woman's story about her relationship with Oswald is true or not.
