Education Forum Goes Off the Rails

[Tommy Shanks]

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  I wish it would have been archived, at least.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.

Kathy, W Niederhut is a pox on that forum based on the catch up reading I have been doing. Hard to believe someone let him run amok for so long like that. Do you believe James Gordon could have passed away ?

[Kathy Beckett]

I don't know.  He was pretty much hell bent on letting the Forum go, and wouldn't help us get it on our name.

Niedernut was the death knell for the Education Forum?

Gordon said he was weary of endless EF antics a couple of years back. I can see why, when Niedernut assumed the helm, Gordon simply walked off. Enough is enough. The EF-JFKA was no longer a forum.

Maybe Gordon began to worry about liabilities associated with owning a forum dominated by anti-Semitic crackpots, especially given his residence in Great Britain. What if an EF reader was inspired or prompted to perp a violent act? People in Great Britain are sometimes put in jail for expressing views online.

Niederhut all but justified the assassination of Charlie Kirk, stating that Kirk has engaged in "stochastic terrorism."

Egads. Perhaps Gordon has just washed his hands of the mess.

Charlie Kirk was a pure as the driven snow.

WOW! Just WOW! If anyone would care to see what NiederNut in full flight looks like, check out the last couple of pages of this thread. Led by James Wilkinson, a number of the members have turned on the illustrious Harvard-trained psychiatrist, and he does not handle it well. Wilkinson ends up thanking God that he isn't one of the good doctor's patients. This is Exhibit A for what I am always talking about - i.e., intelligent, highly educated, able to hold a responsible position but pretty much nuttier than a fruitcake in assorted compartments of his mind. One would hope that Some CTers We Could Mention would have the introspection to look in the mirror and ask, "Good God, is this perhaps me as well?" Or at least look at some of the high-profile hucksters of their pet theories and ask, "Eek, is this guy perhaps just another NiederNut?"

Lance.. wow.. just wow. Duncan really deserves an extra thanks for fostering an environment thankfully devoid of crap like what's going on at that other forum.
