The research community has been like this almost from the beginning (read John Kelin's Praise from a Future Generation to see how often the first generation bickered and fought with each other). The internet just makes it possible for this kind of thing to happen much faster.
Bob Harris recently pulled the plug on his forum without even leaving it up as an archive. I left a comment on one of his Youtube videos asking for an explanation. Somehow I don't think we'll get one. Harris admitted to me in one post that he didn't even like JFK very much. He also made frequent apologies for the CIA, defended the 1954 Guatemala coup, posted Muslim-hating videos, and generally acted like some kind of gatekeeper, IMO.
