I have not said anything previously but I feel I must now. I noticed that the moderation here seems to be approaching a one sided “agree with me or peril” view of history. W and I rarely agree, yet I thought his post was deserving of discussion- and I agreed with him about the lack of merits of the book he was discussing. Yet it was moved.
I noticed just recently a moderator has threatened Mr. Morrow over his post. While, I do not comment on whether I agree or disagree with Mr. Morrow’s views, the point is, I have seen people on this forum question the sexual habits of other actors such as Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, Shaw, David Ferrie, Jim Garrison, Ruth Paine, etc., seemingly without any penalty or warning. I myself have brought up multiple times the alleged affairs of JFK and Marilyn Monroe and debated Jim D. (Which I think gives forum readers a great research and historical record of the arguments for and against such a proposition). So my question is:
Is there a new standard where mention of alleged affairs are not allowed unless demonstratively provable?
If that is the case what is required to prove it? Unlike many on here, I have studied at the graduate level in History so I wonder what standards will be applied?
If any forum is notorious for not being able to agree on what evidences is, from a legal perspective, in my opinion, this certainly is the forum for that. As such, I doubt there will ever be a consensus here as to this historical issue. Thus, in my opinion, it seems like the moderation here now is more censorship than moderation. If we can’t debate like adults what is the point of this forum? To just follow a blind faith set forth by a few? That is neither academic nor educational. I hope forum leadership chooses otherwise.
