This thread will eventually be moved to a more appropriate forum, right?

 

I was going to ask the same thing.

Let's see if these new Mods are hypocrites.

Bill,

    I notice that you have posted a lot of negative, derogatory comments since joining the forum in 2022-- e.g., criticizing author Joseph McBride and the moderators-- but I can't find any biographical information about you.

   Can you post some biographical details about yourself and your reasons for joining the forum in the Biography/Introductions section?

    Are you a self-professed Lone Nutter, like Mark Ulrik? 

    What kind of work do you do, and do you have a military background?

I've made VERY few (two or three maybe?) posts criticizing Mods here.  There's no need for you to exaggerate. 

But, what does any of that have to do with this thread being derailed while not being moved like other threads have?

Bill,

    Please answer my questions, and post some biographical details about yourself.

    As for the thread, as we discussed, (above) it began as a response to the DiEugenio essays about "JFK and the Neocons," and the trajectory of modern U.S. military history after 11/22/63-- geopolitical ramifications of JFK's assassination.

But the thread has been derailed.  Other derailed threads get moved.

Bill,

   Many forum members here are intellectually and artistically curious.  I would characterize this John Lennon  thread as intellectual/social history related to JFK's murder, Vietnam, the military industrial complex, and the counter culture of the late 60s and early 70s.

   Meanwhile, who are you, why are you here, and why is your face hidden in your forum photo?

However you choose to characterize this thread, it has turned into one about religion.

Anyway...

For roughly two years, I used a "shoulders up" photo of myself.  Recently, I changed it to the current photo of me down in the Dallas Police basement where Oswald was shot.  If you go to my profile and click on the photo, my face clearly is not "hidden".

I don't owe you any further explanations.

Bill,

   This is not a forum for anonymous t-r-o-l-l-s, and the forum administration has the authority to request and review biographical information about applicants and members.

    Most members do this when they join, but you, apparently, did not introduce yourself.

Well, Captain Marvel, perhaps you're just sore that we don't have a "Vintage Comics" board.

But, no, the JFKA board is one of many boards on "the forum."

I have no idea why you keep pretending to misunderstand my rather obvious point. Yes, GPAC is a remarkable song, but this is a JFKA "board". Surely, a resourceful guy like you should be able to find a more suitable "board", especially since there are so many to choose from.

Btw, I've seen it suggested that the posting of the video was in response to something posted by Jim D, but why create a separate thread for that? Would merging the two threads not be reasonable? I mean, to keep everything in context.

A note on terminology: If you disapprove of people calling this a JFKA "forum", then maybe you should tell the forum software:

Herr Ulrik,

    Forum members sometimes post music videos here, in relation to topics under discussion, as Ron did on this thread.  I'd file it under, Cultural History.

     As for the cultural, non-forensic issues relating to JFK's assassination, have you and Bill Brown read James Douglass's highly regarded book, JFK and the Unspeakable?

     Douglass touches upon a wide array of cultural (and religious) issues related to JFK and his murder.

      There's far more to the study of the antecedents and sequelae of JFK's murder than bullet shells and autopsy reports.

       Perhaps you can broaden your intellectual horizons, once you have finally learned that JFK wasn't murdered by a Lone Nut.

        Until then, happy hunting, and visit the St. Alexander Nevsky chapel at the Amalienborg Palace some time.

        The acoustics there are other worldly.

P.S.  You identified yourself as a Lone Nutter in your original 2022 biographical introduction to the forum.

Jonathan,

   I thought you and Gerry Down appreciated a little light-hearted banter. 🤥

It would be nice when people just stopped labeling other people... especially a mod should know better, not?

LN/CT labels have never been productive or inspiring, they kill the open mind!

They have never worked, never will work, and have done more harm than good as they come with biases and a lot more BS. 

I was only here for six months (and I had only gotten interested in the JFKA a year earlier....) and one member said I was a LN, and closed conversation.  Only because I was somewhat critical about something he claimed, I asked to many questions I guess, being the newbie I am, but I did get labeled.... eager he was, geeeezzzzz.

And starting your comment with Herr?!? What is that all about???

Mark really is one of the nicest members here, he helped me a number of times  in finding old books, how to perform certain searches, etcc.

Herr Ulrik,

Making fun of other people's names, are we? I haven't had a lot of that since elementary school. You're mocking my ancestor who, for very good reason, had the name changed from Ulrich some 160 years ago.

I don't think of him as a "nut" either.

I'm not sure "at" is the right proposition as these buildings are at least a couple of hundred yards apart. I worked in the area for a few years.

I see. You probably had to tick one of the boxes. Did the label really say "Lone Nutter"? What were the other options?
