It's funny, of everything that I've seen on him these last couple of days, nobody (who I saw, anyway) mentioned that he was a member of the Warren Commission. Regardless of their verdict on the Kennedy Assassination, I would still think his participation be worthy of mention.

So ... I started this thread myself because I hoped that by doing so, we could have a civil, non-political discussion about this man and who he was. The peace lasted four and a half posts.

I have long held the belief that the ill-fated Political Forum on these boards was the beginning of the end. While I only read three threads the entire time it was here, it was obvious that the only purpose it was serving was to reveal what an asshole each of us really is. I'm glad it's gone.

But some members always seem to have their own agenda. We have constantly seen people post things that they know are not allowed on the board. One of the posts above even rubbed it in our faces ("Sorry, I know it's wrong, but f-you I'm posting it anyway.")

Some of the political comments that have been removed suggested that politicians "get off scot free" and without penalty. I find this ironic.

So, after having discussed this with Brad (who has final say here and is very busy with a booth install), a few members participating in this thread have been sent on a two-week vacation from Film-Tech. Go enjoy your holiday without worrying whether or not you have to defend an ideal that has nothing to do with Film nor Tech and most of the rest of us don't care about.

Now would be a good time to review Forum Rules 2, 3 and 15 here.
