| Quote (dochocson @ Oct. 02 2007,17:24) | Check it out, guys, Dembski posted an apology! (Unless one of you guys hacked the site)
Part of the text:
"I’ve removed all three posts and herewith extend a public apology to the Baylor administration and Board of Regents for these actions on this blog. In offering this apology, however, I mean in no way to mitigate the gravity of Baylor’s wrong in censoring the research of Robert Marks and his Evolutionary Informatics Lab."
I'm unclear on the defining elements of a notpology. Does this qualify? |
Wow, I don't think anyone predicted that...
Admittedly, it begins weaselly - by quoting this letter from an unnamed "colleague from England" about the intemperate language of Paul Gross, Dembski means us to understand that he hasn't done anything different from the Darwinists (which is not true - I don't remember Gross publishing home phone numbers of Biola College administration).
Nevertheless, his post contains some moments of real self-awareness:
| Quote | | Without moralizing, I want to suggest a lesson in all this. Stay on topic and don’t let things get personal. I hurt my family and lost about three weeks of productive work by being consumed with anger about the injustice against Robert Marks. It’s not worth it. |
I never thought I'd see Dembski make such a statement, but I applaud him for it. It takes real guts to say something like that in public. (All the more embarrassing for him because he's saying it to the UD sycophants, whom he had whipped up into a righteous rage on his behalf. This climb-down must have hurt).
Let's go easy on him...
