I am the original unbiased, uninvested observer, if you stop to think about it!
I would respectfully disagree with that it is quite self evident that there is a bias, just like everyone else, you have not exercised an open mind and put these to one side... If you really stop and think that through.
I am just some geezer in England sitting behind a computer making up my mind on the basis of what I see.
I've taken three years to decide the rights and wrongs of the situation, and of course, there are plenty of both floating about.
I can see that dishonesty has played an enormous part in getting us to where we are now, and as a counter point to that I have done my best to be strictly honest in my dealings with both sides in the dispute so yes, if you are a reasonable bloke you should indeed have no axe to grind with me.
I would like to courteously disagree however that there "have been no victims here".
I've corresponded with Paul Schatzkin, and frankly whilst he seems to be trying to hide it, he clearly has been traumatised by his experience of writing that book.
Therein the trauma lies the truth and of course he would want to hide that it is called self protection and feeing as far as he could from the causation of said trauma. If you concede there has been then his actions become perfectly rational and sane. His perspective is that Linda has caused this and is and continues to deny her conduct weather justifiable or not is the causation. Bullying Paul further is quite frankly mentally cruel, if as you concede he has been traumatised. In no way could nor should he be expected to write or consider that project any further, it would only happen again.
Now I read what a maelstrom of bullshit he had to wade through at one point, his attitude makes a bit more sense. Thank you for providing the information needed to understand that particular mystery, and thank you very much Linda, for bringing it to my attention.
The mystery that remains for me, is why are so many people dedicating their valuable time and energy to actively bad mouthing and opposing Linda Brown? Surely if she was the fantasist that so many of you contend, the normal human approach of simply turning away and interacting with someone else would be sufficient sanction to deal with the percieved social offence? Surely if one was simply engaged in doing that (as is occasionally claimed) then a more rational approach would have been to let her have the hut (possibly for a fair consideration) and walk away and do something more constructive than the three years of ineffective flailing away that we have witnessed so far?
They have tried to and she refuses to agree, I left at that point as that solution was not acceptable to Linda Brown.
At the end of the day, all I have witnessed is unchivalrous, unseemly, and provocative behaviour directed towards someone who could be described by a young person as a "little old lady" and frankly, I find it a bit repugnant and yes, cowardly. But that's just my interpretation, I don't expect it to have value to many people, but having to read it is the price you pay for asking me to think in an unbiased manner, although of course we are all biased by our previous life experiences and knowledge.
Has Linda Brown considered anybody but herself in all this? The reaction to her is perfectly reasonable if you appreciate her total absence of consideration or respect for others that 'do not believe' in her. You judgement is not required as a definitive answer as you are an admin on the token and moderate the Resolute; ergo You have an investment in Linda Brown's integrity and are not neutral. If you sit down and think about it of course!

Have had a couple of days away from all of this, and return to read such a pile of shite by fruitbat, does He actually believe what He has written???
It's total shite, especially about HIS devious involvements in all of this.
I don't ever visit that forum at all, mostly so that I am subjected to have to read what this bizzare buffoon writes, please do Me a favour wags in not posting his words again, just provide a link which I don't then have to click on.
If not I will probably not bother returning here also.
