Okay, it appears you have signed on completely with Charles. Calling me "petulant" and a "child?" Talk about projection! It's "childish" to object to name calling, but not to call names?
What "war" requires the combatants to use terms that can only demean a vulnerable group of people? How does flinging about terms like "short bus" and making jokes about the "Special Olympics" help us expose the truth about the JFK assassination? I'm sure any Kennedy family members or friends reading this thread would be thrilled to know how some in the research community feel about a subject that is quite important to them. They might even act "petulant" about it.
This is about common decency. If you are concerned about the "credibility" of those like Jim Fetzer, how can you continue to excuse the juvenile antics of Charles Drago? If it seems I'm on a high horse, it's because the rest of you apparently are content to wallow in the gutter, where ad homs and "retard" jokes are perfectly acceptable.
There is no point in continuing to beat this dead horse. Clearly, it appears that no one here except the out of favor Jim Fetzer is willing to call out Charles Drago on his behavior. I'm sorry I went this far- this is obviously a sensitive subject with me, and it irks me to see others not realize the power that words can have.
