My new book, "Into the Nightmare"

[Charles Drago]

To the best of my analytical skills and visual acuity, "Badge Man" is some blur on one of Mary Moorman's photograph.

I respect and mourn Jack White.

I loathe Gary Mack.

My own considered judgement is that "Badge Man" is at best a red herring, at worst a psyop to discredit JFK asssassination research.

I do not welcome the resurrection of this random noise....

With his intemperate remarks borrowed from prizefighters, etc., Mr. Drago seems to be trying to bait me into attacking him,
for some reason. I'm not sure what he's so exercised about, so I won't try to decipher it or respond.

What I have been trying to do is to engage you in a spirited, respectful, in-depth, on-the-merits argument regarding your "Tippit-as-Badge-Man" hypothesis.

Rather than addressing my questions in a forthright and scholarly fashion, you have responded by A) declaring, without any supporting data, that I did not read your book; B) describing my focused, articulate queries as being "vague and unformed; and C) ludicrously claiming that you were not the author of the book to which I was obviously referring.

Now you would accuse me of "trying to bait [you] into attacking [me]."

For someone who so vigorously eschews ad hominem attacks, you seem to have no trouble whatsoever smearing my character, intellect, and motives.

Permit me to give you a bit of unsolicited advice: You are doing neither yourself nor your book any favors whatsoever by running and attempting to hide from serious criticism.

Your Tippit-as-Badge-Man hypothesis is, in my informed estimation, a house of cards that you cannot and thus will not attempt to defend.

And by the bye, your evasions don't pass the laugh test.

As for your bizarre reference to my alleged usage of the patois of prizefighters ... Well, this heavyweight has grown board with sparring with a lightweight.

You stick to your weight class, I'll stick to mine.
