Jack White Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Regarding FETZER/BURTON APOLLO DEBATE thread started here and moved to Conspiracies Forum... Simkin and all moderators: Burton is acting both as participant and moderator on this thread, ruling that I will be put on moderation if I continue to post Apollo studies for Burton and Fetzer to discuss. This is DESPICABLE. Burton should be censured for this outrageous behavior. He is baffled by the studies I posted, so he deleted them and threatened me. Outrageous!

John Dolva Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 An outrageous accusation, Jack. Besides, take it to the complaints thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack White Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Yes, it is outrageous! I am posting it everywhere to make sure Simkin and ALL moderators see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Laverick Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Quote deleted by moderator. Jeez! The hostility on this forum simply staggers me. I expect that from the usual culprits, but what has Jack said that is so outrageous? John unless I've missed some in joke here I really think you should apologise! If what Jack says is true then we should all be concerned about how this forum is being moderated. I have issues about the moderation myself. I started a new thread a couple of days ago entitled "Why do we allow Nazis on this forum”. It lasted exactly 12 seconds before being removed and a PM sent by Kathy… “I really don't know what is going on with it (why it is posted), and i made it invisible until Evan sees it, and he can let me know what he thinks” Notwithstanding the appaling English grammar (and absence of any meaning!) are we saying that moderators have to KNOW why a member asks a question? And only then is it allowed to appear? Needless to say I have still received no reply as to why it was banned. At times I get the impression that some moderators act like a Praetorian Guard that stamp on awkward posts, awkward threads and awkward conclusions. Except for John are ALL the moderatore LNs?

John Dolva Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I doubt very much that Evan is in any way baffled by Jacks claims. I, who am no expert at all, am not baffled. I am however baffled by the poor quality of them. Jack makes an outrageous claim about knowing Evans thinking. There's no joke. It's more a direct aussie way of saying what is so often said in snide insults we have to put up with on this forum all the time. Some topics are merely an endless series of insults. If this direct response has the result of people contemplating this supposedly professional assemblage of scholars behaviour I would be pleased though I wont hold my breaath. Of course Jack doesn't have a roll of barbed wire up his butt, but something is surely bothering him enough to spit the dummy. I suspect the whole charade is purely ego driven.

Your thread was just a personal attack, and Evan agreed it should remain invisible. Your use of the term Nazi was inappropriate. If someone would have started a Nazi thread about you,and I had seen it, it would have been made invisible, too. I am not an LN. Yes, I do believe that Oswald was part of the conspiracy, to some degree. Antti Hyonen and Don Jeffries are both CTs as well. It shouldn't matter what belief system is involved. You knew that your thread was anything but "innocuous." A personal attack on who? I didn't name anyone! Please Ms Becket can I use the word Fascist instead then?

Bernie Laverick Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Jack, I had no idea about this until you posted it. I'm sure Evan will post here later concerning this. Kathy what is the point of you being a moderator on here if every time a contentious issue is raised we all have to wait until a 'grown up' arrives before any ruling can be made?

Michael Hogan Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I suspect the whole charade is purely ego driven. Maybe he just had a toothache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Laverick Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Except for John are ALL the moderatore LNs? Most of the moderators are quite sensible Bernie but most of them are not regularly on the forum very much now. John is the fairest. Kathy, is a bit of a "pollyanna" type and is a "Oswald was part of a conspiracy" theorist. There was a moderator once who was simply a "nut" but he spontaneously combusted through anger and paranoia. Hi Lee Thanks for that...you almost need a route map on here to determine who is who. I see you're from 'pool...wrong end of the M62 if you ask me...but great people anyway. Take care.

Dean Hagerman Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The Moderator that I trusted the most and who held many of the same theories as myself and others in my group was banned He was never replaced I think he should have been replaced by a new mod that would be able to have a voice for the members who shared his views on the assassination Just my opinion, I have no problem with any mods at all, just always felt a little safer when the mod who was banned was an active member/mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that someone who started a thread entitled "Why do we allow Nazis on this forum” and insulted a moderator complains about “The hostility on this forum” . Almost as ironic is that he complained about her supposedly “appaling English grammar” but made an elementary school spelling error in the process, even in Eire appalling is spelled with two l’s. He really doesn't have much motive for complaing about the moderation since after over 2 years he has yet to post a proper bio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
