So, because Joe and I dare to criticise your work we must be substance abuses...really!?!
OK, you want to remove the gloves, so be it;
As far as I'm concerned any 'researcher' that believes JFK's assassination was linked to interplanetary alien's and space ships is an absolute raving nut-job, who should urgently consider psychiatric assistance or lay off substance abuse for a while. Call me overly discerning if you wish but I find it extremely difficult to take seriously any work presented by an absolute raving nut-job and/or possible substance abuser.
You've tainted your own work and reputation by writing about JFK and little green men in flying saucers...that's not my fault.

Call me overly discerning if you wish but I find it extremely difficult to take seriously any work presented by an absolute raving nut-job and/or possible substance abuser.

Nothing wrong with refusing to believe stuff like interplanetary alien's and space ships being involved in the coup d e'tat.......But you do believe the Warren Report don't you?      That indicates that your reasoning ability falls a little short.......

In its entirety? Not really, no. I've stated plenty of times over the years that, IMO, the WR has plenty of mistakes and inconsistencies in it and some of its top members were probably working to an agender to find LHO guilty and a lone nut. That the WC and I arrived at the same final conclusion is really little more than a coincidence. What I have noticed is that, when it suits you, you frequently use the WR to back up your theories/arguments. You quote it far more often than I do. Considering you're a rabid CT that indicates that your not only a hypocrite but your reasoning ability falls WIDELY short.......

Since you say that you've noticed that I frequently use the WR to back up my theories / arguments it should be very easy for you to cite something from the WR that I embrace.       Please present that .....

You're posting history is full of them. I'm not wasting my time, check for yourself. Listen, I know you're a lonely old man and all that but you really need to stop following me all over the forum. I realise you're desperate for attention and feel the need to communicate with people, even if it's only on forums but I'm not your friend, I don't wish to be your friend. Perhaps you could afford to pay someone to keep you company? I really do feel sorry for you etc but you need to stop stalking me. For your own good I'm going to put you on ignore...go pester someone else.

Mr Poimtless....It appears to me that you're looking in a mirror......

It may well suit your present purpose to 'ban' us from discussing a part of your work you would obviously prefer hidden but that's not how it works, is it?

He didn't say it was off-limits, he said it was off-topic.  It's called poisoning the well -- a logical fallacy, and Elliott does it all the time.  Whatever Gilbride's views on an unrelated subject are, they have no bearing on the argument presented here.  Just like Michael Griffith's former writings on the civil war have no bearing on his arguments about the acoustical evidence.

I'm afraid I don't accept that John, if I'm being asked to read someone's research, not just a post but essays etc, then I'm also going to take a look at anything else they've written, that helps me establish their credibility and honesty. That would be true of a LN writer as well as a CT writer. I'll make no apology for admitting, that as soon as I read that Gilbride had authored a book that included chapters claiming that JFK had been assassinated because of aliens and flying saucers his credibility, in my eyes, sank to zero. John, you work your way and allow me to work mine. Fair enough?
