As for Wags being passport challenged, I could say that about myself. In my case, I have simply lacked the ambition and incentive to obtain one. I need to remedy that situation.

I hope this is the post you are referring to Cat.

You see, here's the thing.
When we choose to fight (whether it be fisticuffs or the more sophisticated methods that some pick), the result is always the same.
Someone gets hurt.
Some of us are strong and have great tolerance for injury, and consequently it takes a great deal of effort to hurt such people, on the other hand some of us are sensitive souls and will take damage from a ridiculously small injury. Due to the way human psychology works, the water is further muddied by people not properly knowing themselves, and/or trying to project a false image of themselves by way of psychological "protective colouring".
In the matter of the conflict we have with the members of the hut, I am convinced that both sides for a long time have felt alternately, on the defensive, on the ascendant and/or simply tired of the conflict. Both sides claim the moral highground, and whilst I side more with one than the other, I recognise that boths sides, however they may appear to actually conduct themselves, think they are ultimately the "good guys".
Claiming the "moral highground" is a matter of perspective. What is your definition of "moral"?

As it happens in my little world I have recently been identified as a "security risk" (and removed from my position as a result of that insight too!) yet at the same time I am being shown that some people do take note of what I have to say! Life is indeed full of paradoxes, and I feel you are right indeed, to eschew "either/or" thinking.
I know enough about Wags to flesh out his description of being "passport challenged" based on what he has told me in the past, but I choose not to comment, as, well, it's HIS business.

If this is the post, I too find the attempt at writing an overview of the situation a good one. However, the problem with it is that it is still a "subjective" post in that fruitbat has been involved at times by posting his commentary and at times, making an offensive and defensive post.
Here is another problem with his analysis of the situation. He was not present nor a member prior to May 5, 2014. His analysis is based upon a good deal of information dealt to him from Linda. When he first came here and posted, his first posts were to make note of "fixing" something for me in the Kilroy thread where no "fixing" was required. His appearance on this forum was not one attempting to come in with an open mind and acquire another side, objectively, but with a hint of judgmental arrogance if not a bit bombastic.
He was not present at the McDonald's in Phoenixville of July '11 where Linda and I agreed to not talk about each other. That agreement lasted only until mid August when she did a full frontal attack on Kim and then I pulled the admin plug after talking with a lawyer. He was not present for all the face to face meetings where both sides talked and discussed how to bring forth the book and any knowledge to the public. He was never on the first forum with the cast of characters that have disappeared from the face of the earth, except by comment from Linda. He only knows background as told to him by Linda.
I have sat here this morning and read his post and have attempted to look within myself to see if I have had any "psychological "protective colouring"" in any of my answers or presentations. My best answer is, I am not sure. I know I have reacted on an emotional level when Linda has attacked Kim for no reason at all that I can see and my conclusion, all the way back to August of 2011, is that those posts were done by design and intent. Is having an emotional reaction to someones words "psychological colouring"? My gut response is no.
I have always attempted to tell the truth. Whether that truth be by links and citations as in the due-diligence or from first hand knowledge with witnesses. If this be "colouring" than I suppose the conclusion is that I am guilty.
However, when one only knows one side of the story told by only one person, that is an imbalance and no longer is entitled to be viewed as free of psychological colouring. I am sure that there are those that will read what I have just wrote. Perhaps those that have met Linda, have lived the experience from Paul's forum to the present, have witnessed the deceit put upon them, have perused the due-diligence with all the references, links and citations and who have met myself in person, along with Kim, are able to respond to the question of psychological colouring in regard to myself and Kim's nature as opposed to what Linda has portrayed. And then there are those that possibly can comment based upon what they have read. Both are welcome regardless of content. I openly admit that I am not perfect but have never heard Linda once admit anything even when confronted with truthful facts.
Does any of this matter? Not really, I suppose. What concerns me is how Linda is beginning to be perceived by others. She is not looking for serious answers and is being judged by "herding" with the UFO/tinfoil hat crowd. A member joined here in October, who is connected with a financial firm in the city, so that he could see the photos, however, he did not join at the Token but did read there as well. He used the links I had provided in my rebuttals as well as read different threads on the Token as well. I can't really say how much there or here he read. However, he did read the thread on the Conference on the Hut which were the photos he wished to view of those involved and of the Gravitors. What does this have to do with any of this? His objective view of the entire situation.
He stated those views in regard to myself but then he has known me since 1986, and he was quite frank with me (Luis, he pretty much paralleled some of your views) and I should just stop the rebuttals to an extent. The result of all his viewing at the Token is that he was quite concerned in that Linda is making a mockery of her Father, in his opinion. He also recommended that I would be wise to not even mention Brown's name in any of my work if I expected to get funding or grants. So far, I have not taken his advice to my chagrin.
In any other situation, I would agree, fruitbat's post would and could be considered as a well thought out post but not in this situation.
