(23,872 posts)If he were a figment of the imagination, discussing him would be equivalent to 9/11 death rays and chemtrails. And that level of discussion is not allowed here at all.
The subject of who carried out JFK's assassination is discussed in Creative Speculation. If I were to do a post on how and why Lee Harvey Oswald did it, I would post it in Creative Speculation. In fact, I did. If I posted on why Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or why there was no conspiracy behind JFK's death (or Oswald's death for that matter), I would post it in Creative Speculation. In fact, I did. That's because the subject of who, how, and why JFK was killed is rife with conspiracy theory. I'm quite certain Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, but I don't see DU standards and terms allowing me to post what I consider to be fact about his death in GD.
So even though you and Octafish and many others believe that a conspiracy killing JKF is reality, posting about it here in GD is against the terms you signed up to honor when you became a member here. The subject is relegated to Creative Speculation. If this sticks in your craw, then don't post here about JFK's death. You are always welcome to do so in Creative Speculation. That's what the group is for.
Considering Creative Speculation a dungeon or a basement is something you project onto it. You could just as easily consider it a stage.
I am in this thread because I am interested in the subject. If that was your question, it's now answered. I'm quite interested in discussing the subject. But I try my utmost to do so only in Creative Speculation, because I respect the terms of service and the statements of purpose for the various forums and groups. But as long as you refuse to discuss JFK's assassination in Creative Speculation, we are at an impasse. All I have outside the group is pointing out your violation of the terms and the SOP.
"You can't force anyone to see things your way. It is a futile effort so I don't understand why anyone would put so much effort into trying."
It's funny. People keep telling me I'm close-minded. And then they keep telling me it's a futile effort to make them see things my way. Who exactly is the closed-minded one here? Fortunately, I'm a little more optimistic than that. I do believe that DU is meant to be a place where liberals and progressives can discuss issues in as far as they agree and work to overcome any disagreement. Why else be here? What finer reason to be here than to make efforts to convince other people of a better way?
Anyway, sabrina 1, Creative Speculation awaits our discussion of Dr. McClelland.
