BTW, could somebody please program a UD viewer that allows to exclude posts comments of scordova from being displayed?
I will not be able to stand Sal attitude of blowing his own horn, his slimy homophobic misogynic tirades and his lack of self-awreness.
And especially not his hypocrisy:

At this time I have no intention of trying to go back to UD. I have other work to do.
although JA Davison pointed out that DaveScot's power had been minimized after Barry Arrington took over UD. Seems like Sal was shit-scared by Dave

I’m no longer at UD. DaveScot dismissed me

By the way Abbie, I did not like the fact DaveScot kicked you off of UD. I was kicked off myself.

1. You were kicked off UD? I thought you left of your own accord. Maybe this refers to a different time than the one I know of.

2. I was kicked off by DaveScot in 2008. I am not allowed to post at UD. I have not sought to return. I chose not to protest to Bill Dembski lest I put Bill in an awkward position. I’m still on good terms with Bill.

I’ve been less restrained to be on good behavior, and it probably shows here on YoungCosmos.

Thanks for asking.

3. FYI: I was booted for linking to an article about an incident at a university involving Feces Swapping and digestion.

DaveScot accused me graphic content and gave me the boot, ignoring the fact he has done worse in the past (like talking about PZ private parts). I felt he rationalized a reason to get rid of me. I don’t think he always approved of my views. He was ready to find an excuse to dismiss me.

My retreat from the public view….
scordova

As some of you know…

I have been accepted into a graduate program at Johns Hopkins University. I attempted to apply both at Hopkins and at Baylor. I was attempting to work with Dr. Robert Marks at the evolutionary informatics lab. I got the sense Baylor was putting Dr. Marks in their gunsights and that they would also put me indirectly in their gunsights as well if I worked at the informatics lab.

After I received late confirmation this Tuesday of my acceptance into the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering, I informed Dr. Marks with my regrets that I would no longer seek enrollment into Baylor’s Engineering program. I cited developments which have been in the news along with my acceptance into the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins.

Recently, I have received ‘advice’ from faculty at other universities (not from any faculty at JHU) that I may expect possible complications for my public involvement with ID.

I’d like to emphasize that the faculty at JHU have not threatened complications, and even one of their professors has publicly assured me that I have nothing to worry about. I stand committed to bringing respect and upholding the reputation of the academic institution I am now affiliated with. I would like to publicly thank Johns Hopkins for the opportunity they are giving me. But in light of the advice I’ve been given from faculty at other universities, it would be best I if I simply not rock the boat by publicly being a part of the ID movement.

Thus, on the advice of professors from other universities, I have decided to play it safe and retreat from further public debate (at least under my own name).


I will limit my posting under my real name at UD or the blogsphere in general. I would like to thank the UD community for all they have meant to me.

I would like to assure everyone that I have also found a new job which I will work at while I go to Johns Hopkins part-time in the evenings.

I have degrees, in Computer Science, Math, and Electrical Engineering, so I’m not worried about my immediate or future employment. However, now that I have ambitions to go through the program at JHU’s Whiting School of Engineering, it would be best I not make any more waves.

Thank you everyone for a wonderful time at UD.

I would welcome everyone’s prayers on my behalf and that of my family.

God bless you,
Salvador Cordova


Thus, it is appropriate to call Sal a liar.
One wouldn't care if he kept his word:

I don’t have anymore to add to the debate than what I posted at UD over the years.

Besides, I’ve wasted enough of my life on the internet.


He wouldn't deserve his nickname if he hadn't prepared some way back into UD:

I’m still on good terms with Bill Dembski who lobbied to get me a scholarship in Engineering under the tutelage of Robert Marks. Bill Dembski’s mentorship prodded me to go back to grad school.

Isn't that slimy?
Especially, if it is taken into account that his "mentor" was not willing or able to protect from the mentor's own blog czar.
