Thinking it might have a higher level of discourse than this cuckoo's nest, I decided to check out the education forum which I hadn't looked at in many years. A membership is required to post there they haven't been accepting any new members for the past 8 months. While the discussions do seem a bit more civil, it seems to be dominated by the CTs with few recent posts from LNs. Since everyone seems to be agreeing with each other, it seems rather lame. There was one thread devoted to the impossibility that Oswald could have fired two shots as close together as the premise indicated was the case. Of course faulty premises will lead to faulty conclusions. Given the arguments being made, I thought for a second I had stepped back into the 1990s. Same old shit that was being flung when I first started participating in online discussion groups in the early 1990s. This speaks to what I said in the thread regarding 57 years of futility. The CT train is going nowhere. They will be keep making the same baseless arguments for another 57 years or until they assume room temperature, whichever comes first.

It is an echo chamber.

DVP used to bring up some of the inconvenient truths they prefer to ignore so they kicked him out, on the pretext that he was quoting them on his website.

Takes a real moron to actually *believe* that.

Watch folks, as this moron refuses to quote any of these "inconvenient
truths" he implies couldn't be answered by critics...

support.

No, I don't have to "show" anything at all.

Wnen you make a statement that you REFUSE to support, you've asserted
that such people are "dumbasses".

You're a dumbass, Chickenshit...

The reason they gave for closing the forum to new members was that they had banned an unnamed poster who rejoined under a different name. I'll bet that was DVP. It seems rather
pointless to have a discussion group with no dissenting opinions allowed but that looks like
what they have. It's like watching a pack of dogs sniffing each other's assholes.

You expressed an nonsensical idea that the truth need to be answered. I don`t know how such a thing can be done, and you don`t seem to be able to explain your idea.

Here is the thread that resulted in DVP being banned...

https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/22690-warning-to-forum-members-please-read-this/

The pretext used to ban him was that the individual posters owned the rights to what they wrote, so when DVP quoted them on his website he was stealing their intellectual property.

They used this from their terms of service to oust him...

"Posts on the Education Forum are owned by the individual members who post there and who are SOLELY responsible for the content of their posts, and that the Education Forum, as an entity, is in no way responsible for the content of the posts."

I think a lawyer would destroy this, this provision is to protect the site from liability, not to protect the rights of the posters who use the site.

I went there after I learned John McAdams died. Since he was the sole moderator of alt.assassination.jfk, all activity on that board has ceased since his passing.

At the time, this thread was the most recently used, so I started posting there:
https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/27091-john-mcadams-has-passed-on/

I only check in infrequently. I joined a long time ago, but - you’ll get a kick out of this - one poster accused me of being some sort of special agent who would be activated upon McAdams passing. I guess that old adage is true — “you’re not paranoid if they really are after you”. Good luck convincing that guy I’m just a former conspiracy theorist who converted after reading the WC and HSCA volumes of evidence and saw for myself how conspiracy authors were twisting the evidence.

Looks like I owe a few people a response.

Oh my goodness, no! It was certainly not me! I would never try to conceal my real identity by posting under a different name. Never. I think the person the EF was referring to was Albert Doyle (alias Ralph Yates). It could have been some other CTer though, but it definitely was not me.

And the trumped-up excuse that James R. Gordon (the top Lord of Made-Up Rules there at The Education Forum at the time in 2019) utilized in order to banish me from his kingdom is almost beyond belief in its flimsiness. In fact, the new "rule" (aimed at me) that's now on the EF books wasn't even added to the site's Terms Of Use page until a few hours AFTER I was banned from the forum! How's that for being "trumped-up"? I talk about all this in my archived article at my website below:

Right. In fact, that rule is even listed under the heading of "Limitation of Liability" on the EF's Terms of Forum Use page....

https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/21403-terms-of-forum-use

It's this "Copyright Ownership" rule that was conveniently added by Lord Gordon to the EF's TOS....

....but it was only added several hours AFTER I had already been booted off the forum in Aug. 2019. At the time I was archiving all of my EF discussions at my own site, that "Must Obtain The Author's Permission Before Copying" rule did not exist at all. And I had been archiving the EF discussions at my site for many years prior to 2019, without a single person complaining or caring about it at all. And on the EF itself, I would even post many of the links to my own site where I had transferred the EF material. For years I did this. Not a single person there cared.....until August of 2019.

******Highlights From Above Article/Webpage....******

James Gordon said:

I do not believe DVP credits the source of his material.

DVP said:

That's Lie #1. I give credit to tons of "sources" for the material I post, with links being presented by the dozen. But, actually, I'm not sure what kind of "source credit" Gordon is even referring to here. If he's talking about sourcing the original discussion threads from which I copy posts from the EF forum, then it's an even bigger lie being told by Gordon, because (as I have said many times before) I always provide a link to the original (source) EF thread at the bottom of all of my webpages.

James Gordon said:

It appears to me that the material DVP copies is taken out of context. .... In doing that he is clearly changing what the EF members originally thought and believe and therefore DVP has changed what EF members posted on this forum.

DVP said:

I strongly resent such a charge. Furthermore, it's a really stupid charge in the first place. Since I am merely taking verbatim quotes from the EF forum over to my own site, Gordon must actually think I'm some sort of Houdini or David Copperfield, in that I am apparently able to take those verbatim CTer quotes and (somehow) change the entire belief structure of the conspiracy theorist being quoted. Even though, keep in mind, the quotes are the EXACT VERBATIM WORDS that were written by the CTer at the EF forum before I copied them to another Internet location.

I guess I'm more powerful than I thought! Unbelievable!

In other words --- James R. Gordon is full of shit. It appears to me as if he has been significantly influenced by the other conspiracy theorists at the EF forum who also contend that I have taken things "out of context" and have literally "changed" what CTers have posted at the EF forum. But regardless of which CTer utters such garbage, it's still going to be garbage (and a lie).

James Gordon said:

DVP has two opinions. There are the posts he used to make here on threads here. Then there is the opinion that is shaped by him - using EF members contributions - to create a narrative on another website for which we have no editing rights. And the narrative on his site does not reflect what was originally said on this website.

DVP said:

More lies. See my last comments above. Plus, Gordon should re-read this comment I aimed at him earlier today [8/26/19] at the EF forum....

"With regard to the particular JFK sub-topics that I have chosen to engage various CTers on...I have "changed" NOTHING that was in any original quote written by any CTer on The Education Forum." -- DVP

And the bunk about me having "two opinions" on various JFK matters is just...well...bizarre (to say the least).

Where on this Earth did Gordon get the idea that my basic "opinions" about any aspect of the JFK murder case somehow change between the time I post my thoughts at The Education Forum and when I re-post those EXACT SAME VERBATIM COMMENTS at my website?

The only response I can possibly muster after reading such a bizarre allegation is this one....

WTF?

As for taking things out of context, that can easily be a misunderstanding. The writer has something in mind, but the reader has his own context which he brings to the writing. So, even if you post a verbatim expression, the context of your response might be different than the context of the writer. In such a case there is no intentional misrepresentation, just a misunderstanding. But the original writer sees your response with your context, and he thinks that you have made an intentional misrepresentation of what he said.

As an example, I once said that the radio interference on channel 1 was done to obliterate the radio transmissions in Dealey Plaza so that they could not be heard on the Dictabelt recording. And then I proceeded to list those transmissions. Obviously, my context was not precisely defined. What I should have said was that the *intent* was to make the transmissions inaudible, but they still were present on the recording, just very difficult to hear. In response to what I said, DVP pointed out an apparent contradiction, that if the signals had been obliterated, then how could I hear them? It could be a wilful "misunderstanding" on the part of DVP, or it could be that his thinking is just too rigid to consider that my expression of thought was imprecise. But, if I were to see the exchange presented on his website 3 weeks later, then I could very well think that he had taken my post out of context because I remember the context in my own mind better than I remember the exact words which I used.

Or you could engage with DVP (or anyone else who misunderstands your viewpoint) and explain and clarify what you meant. That's the best approach, not to ban the person who disagrees with your viewpoint, as the Educational Forum did.

I'm waiting for them to ban me.

The reason might have more to do with DVP being a propagandist. Propagandists are not interested in discussion, but actually want to shut down discussion a la "Case Closed." But, then you certainly should have been banned long before DVP, as you are one of the most obnoxious propagandist trolls out there. And since natural interest in the topic would be greater among those who suspect a conspiracy, Pro-conspiracy propagandists would probably be more tolerated than anti-conspiracy propagandists. But, whatever. It's a privately-moderated discussion, so the moderators can enforce the rules any way they like.

And, BTW, the Education Forum seem to be a bunch of elitist pricks, so who would want to be in their group? The two or three times I looked into it, they had not been accepting new members for months or years or whatever. They can go fuck themselves, I say.

So what was your history on the EDForum, David? I know they banned you on the phony, contrived photograph issue early on. I think there was another temporary banning after that. Then you were banned for arguing for the SBT. Then the last one for the one they created about violating a terms of service clause that didn`t exist until after you were banned (I notice they didn`t update the posting date of the terms of service, to make it appear like it was there all along. No wonder they are so suspicious of those in power, they just need to think of what they would do if it were them in the drivers seat).

Your voice there was like nails on a chalkboard to them, they had to stop so much truth from being spoken there.

Sure. Just like he has for years predicted that LNs would fade away in light of Mark Lane's "eloquent" prose. :-)

That's because CTism has become full on religious faith. Nothing less. It's complete with an orthodoxy (pretty broad *as long* as you agree Oz was innocent or didn't shoot and kill JFK) and heresy (OZ did the deed---especially on his own), and has its own *evil* set of deities. (The all powerful "They".) Thus no amount of evidence, counter evidence, logic, reason, or common sense is sufficient to move the "faithful" from worshipping at the alter of "Poor Oswald".

You've got a good memory, Bud. I don't recall the "temporary banning" that you mentioned, though. Gordon had an ego hissy fit in 2015 after I destroyed his nutty notions about the SBT and he banned me from posting for a few hours before he realized I had done nothing wrong and reinstated me the same day. But that's not the "temporary banning" you were talking about above.

According to the older threads I've posted in, it says I'm on a "Two Posts Per Day" restriction, but that's wrong. I can't post there at all. Why it still says "2 Posts Per Day", I have no idea.

FYI --- I have the distinction of being unfairly banned from the EDForum by BOTH of the last two owners/fantasists of that forum---Simkin (in 2006) and Gordon (2019). Pretty good record, huh? Can anyone else make that glorious claim? 😁 (Where's my trophy?)

Point me to any such "warnings". You can't, because there were none. No such silly rule even existed until several hours AFTER Gordon pulled the plug on my membership. But just ignore that little fact, Mr. Crackpipe. That way you can pretend I broke some long-standing EF rule. And then you can pretend that all of the crybaby CTers at the EF *really care one whit* about my copying their words to my own site, even though not a single one of those CTers ever said a word about it for the first ten years I'd been doing it.

@All LNers Here....

BTW / FWIW / FYI....

For another good example of the semi-frequent fits of pique exhibited by the thin-skinned James Gordon at The Education Forum, check out the absurd situation in the following link:

http://jfk-archives.blogspot.com/2019/02/jfk-assassination-arguments-part-1310.html

"This additional thought occurred to me a few days after the above bizarre situation took place....

You would think that after writing his crybaby-ish Private Message to me at The Education Forum website, James Gordon would have been satisfied with a private apology from me.

And if Gordon would have handled the matter in that "private" manner, then that would have been the end of it and no one would have had to know about this minor skirmish except James Gordon and myself.

But nooooo!

A private resolution wasn't nearly good enough for Mr. Gordon. Instead, in heavy-handed and petty fashion, Gordon decided he wanted to construct a public mountain out of a private molehill, with Gordon "insisting" that I not only give him a "public apology", but he also "insisted" that I "create a new thread" at the forum in order to showcase in even more dramatic and unnecessary fashion how I was grovelling at his dictatorial feet.

Nice, huh?" -- DVP; 2/27/19

Of course faulty premises will lead to faulty conclusions. Given the arguments being made, I thought for a second I had stepped back into the 1990s. Same old shit that was being flung when I first started participating in online discussion groups in the early 1990s. This speaks to what I said in the thread regarding 57 years of futility. The CT train is going nowhere. They will be keep making the same baseless arguments for another 57 years or until they assume room temperature, whichever comes first.
