Except when that person is very well known, liar, scammer, hoaxer and conman who makes alarmist statements to gain attention. You dont give these
scamsters air time, you ignore them.
By taking a neutral stand and allowing them to spout even more of their lies you are assisting in the promotion of those lies.
Would you have given Ted Bundy a podium?
And many need to have a "comparitive base" before their being able to extrapolate and formulate a "whether they believe or don't believe" in a
particular subject/concept.

Fine, I see your logic here but one only has to do a very simple Google Search for his name or even take a look on this forum and all will be revealed
and one can get any comparitive base on which to base their ideas. He has been well discussed on this forum and there is your comparative base. Hes
also been banned from practically every other forum on the web, including this one. Doesnt that suggest anything to you?
Many here at Above Top Secret don't know of James Casbolt. So how is one to possibly come to their own conclusions or subject summary about a subject
or of a person if they are not allowed to hear it/them?

I think you denigrate the intelligence of people here. Any cursory perusal of threads about Casbolt will reveal there is indeed a wealth of knowledge
about him, his hoaxes and his lies, as he has been well discussed and debunked.
Would you prefer that everyone just take someone's word on whether or not something is correct or incorrect?

Not at all, I would expect them to take a good look at his website, then what has been said about him on this forum. I repeat, he has been well
discussed and debunked an this and many other forums.
Thats not how we do things here at ATS, we need to have research and have questions asked in order to follow the "Deny Ignorance" theme.

But its quite obvious that many here, including myself have well researched Mr Casbolt, his scams, hoaxes and lies.
However you seem quite happy to have ATS'ers researching FOI documents yet you doubt their ability to research Casbolt??
And we try and attempt this in the most civil way possible in a public arena.

Indeed, and I agree wholeheartedly, but when we have someone who postulates that he has seen childrens throats being cut, its difficult to be civil (I
have children). Its also difficult to remain civil when dealing with someone who has been openly debunked on this self same website 4 times, and
someone who blatantly refuses to verify or justify anything he says.
so lets cut the others some slack and let them decide for themselves, shall we?

Do you honestly think you will get any answers from Casbolt. You wont.
But Im not stopping them from deciding anything. But you dont give PROVEN liars and hoaxers airtime. THAT shows you are doing it for the scandal value
not for any other altruistic motives
reason as to why you feel one way or another and not just a passionate/emotionally charged post without any 'positive' substance to back up those
thoughts and feelings you may have.

But lets look at the other side. Casbolt has no 'Positive' substance, evidence or proof about anything he claims, he makes alarmist statements to
gain attention, without any factual basis or evidence.
I have a lot of 'Positive' substance about most of Casbolts claims.
So I kindly ask politely that everyone get back on subject which is what questions would you ask our guest?
Johnny

I have posted my questions or are you now suggesting you arent going to ask them?
