Education Forum Goes Off the Rails

[Michael T. Griffith]

It says « Community not available » when trying to access the Ed forum. Have I been banned?

No, that notice does not mean you've been banned. It means the JFK Assassination Debate section of the EF is no longer operating, perhaps because they were unable to pay web-hosting bill.

James Gordon was the owner, and just told us a couple of years ago he wasn't going to have any more dealings with it,and was going to let it go. he did not care what would happen to it.Sandy was head of funding but has passed. Simkin was back, but since James refused to sign it over to anyone, the Forum was unable to remain.

While I see that Dr. Niederhut was a problem to many of you, the sad part of the Forum's absence was that for years, many JFK authors etc, had posted there. Whether LN or CT, that Forum was a great resource.

I have been gone for quite awhile, and just received an email from one of the Admins that it was gone.  I wish it would have been archived, at least. 

They say the internet is forever, but I don't know how to retrieve it. Invision will not let anyone but Gordon make decisions on it, and God only knows where he is.

Thanks Kathy for the info. Did Gordon run away with the money had donated to keep the Ed forum alive?

All of the Ed Forum is gone, not just the JFKA section.

Given the piddling donations they received and the almost desperate pleas for money, I can't picture James Gordon absconding with the $83.12 or whatever there was. He always seemed like a very decent guy to me.

[Kathy Beckett]

As for the money, that is true. Sandy had charge of the funds. But I fault him greatly for his apathy to all of the years put and information put into that Forum, which Simkin had started. He just threw it away.

Ben, stop pretending to be Veronica and messing with our minds. You're overdoing it, guy. Just create some ordinary sock puppets, willya?

(Well, of all the nerve! "Veronica" deleted her vicious attack on Ben after I had posted the above, leaving my witty post to seem even more inane and pointless than usual. One suspects that "Veronica" may be a certain Harvard-trained psychiatrist.)

[Benjamin Cole]

Like everything about the JFKA, even niggling and unimportant details, I am not sure who "Ms. Wheeler" was.

I suspect it was a Kirk Gallaway, but who knows?
