Samantha – We do not put up gruesome photos of murder victims without a compelling reason. There was no compelling reason to put up the second photo of Ron Goldman’s body. It added nothing to the information we already had. In the long run it served only to add more pain to the relatives and friends of Ron Goldman who might accidentally run across it while searching on the Web for something else. ................ The short term reason for Rovaan putting it on the sight was to prove to TWO Iago posters that their implacable reading of the photo, which can be found elsewhere, was incorrect according to THEIR indices of “evidence” that it was not Ron’s body. We’d gone around and around on this for YEARS at the expense of consolidating our collective findings on what actually happened. Therefore, we could not act as a group to bring serious attention to those findings outside of regular visitors to the site. .................. For too many people the Iago Discussion Board had become the whole site. The very reason for its existence was being largely ignored or trashed in favor of endless discussions that thwarted our ability to do anything about the image assassination of O.J. Simpson that ultimately put him AND Clarence Stuart (and Michal Skakel) in prison. ................... This board, unlike Iago, is not a working group dedicated to fact finding and analyzing data relevant to the Iago hypothesis. However, the last thing that those of us who have been actively pursing those objectives want to see here is a continuation of what happened on the Iago board. The photo of Ron Goldman’s body, which Rovaan put up for one day, had the potential of opening up that can of worms if it remained there. ................... Other considerations were involved in the decision not to keep the photo online. The thing to remember is that it was put there in the first place with ample notice it was coming to answer questions that had already been answered to a rational certainty by the sheer number of diverse people on the murder scene. –Jasper
