After weeks of posting there with no issue I was repeatedly confronted about my identity, and the identity of the members on this Board.
A person named Andrea Skolnik from "Mice Fighting Gorillas" wrote things like this to me.
"What is The JFK Assassination Boards association with Richard Hooke? Why did you not answer me on Twitter when I asked who ran your group? Why was I blocked on Twitter after simply asking who runs your group? Why is my post on Twitter that I made in 2019 being liked today by the JFK2.0 profile and immediately after that there are requests to join Searching for the Truth from profiles associated with JFK Board?" -- Andrea Skolnik
I personally have no idea what she is talking about. We have nothing to do with Richard Hooke, and prevent wild theories from being associated with this Board. She asked about the Board's mission statement so clearly she hasn't bothered to read our Home page. It gets better too.
"We are not asking for your life story We are asking that you verify your profile and that you have the legal authority to use it and we are asking for the names of who is on your board since you are posting here in our group as representing that board. All our members are transparent." -- Andrea Skolnik
All I post is the same daily things I post on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. There is nothing over the top or crazy. Where is all this coming from?
The biggest disappointment is that one of our longest followers, Tommy Reynolds, continued the assault by making this remark.
"John since you pulled me into this by name, why the mystery? Is it your assumption that because I invited you that means you get parlay on verifying your credentials?
Immediately going the route of "the work speaks for itself".....hmm. Whose work? I understand the concept of forums, and boards, and collaborations. But by dodging such elementary inquiries.... Well you know where I'm going with this.
I would assume you can appreciate our insistence for member transparency. I'll go first:
I'm Tommy Reynolds. I created the MFG groups roughly 5 years ago with the intent to discuss, archive, and learn as much as possible about the murders of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. By creating this group, I have chosen to surround myself with like-minded individuals who have the desire to research and discuss the case with myself and the other members here.
I have been researching the case since I was 13 years old, which was in 1986. My first experience was in my public library, where a guy sitting near me was reading "The Oswain this ld Affair" by Leo Savauge. I asked him about his choice of reading material, and that was it.
Blah blah blah, I live in Georgia, blah blah blah Anthropology major Social Sciences minor.... Will follow the truth in this case wherever it takes me... Believe the anti-castro cubans and JMWAVE played a key role in the assassination...Capiche?" -- Tommy Reynolds
Mystery? He has followed this Board for well over a year, how could what we do be a mystery? How does saying these basic things, if they are even true, change the evidence in this case? This is censorship. Plain and simple.
"We are not asking for your life story We are asking that you verify your profile and that you have the legal authority to use it and we are asking for the names of who is on your board since you are posting here in our group as representing that board. All our members are transparent.' -- Andrea Skolnik
Legal authority? What nonsense. Do they do this to every member? They wouldn't answer, but it is highly doubtful. Pure censorship.
"So, with that being said, either answer or we will just have to find a way to survive without your "expertise".... Sad, I respected your work across all platforms. Until now.
Incidentally, most of the groups I see you posting in, yeah the creators of those groups are here, as I am there. What's that old saying? "Bad gas travels fast in a small town." -- Tommy Reynolds
So not disclosing all my personal information and that of the members somehow alters the evidence according to Mr. Reynolds, because now he has "no respect" for the Board. Then he threatens me about other groups. This is puer LNer 101 bully tactics.
We have withdrawn from this group and I have decided to make us private on both Twitter and Instagram so this Board can screen better.
How censoring people will help in the search for the truth is beyond this Board, but to each his own. Be careful where you tread.
