He's clearly a compulsive liar and therefore might be fun... He's a long-winded, pedantic liar who seems more wrapped up in the sociological and rhetorical aspects of the "debate" than in the science. In fact, he is scientifically illiterate, it seems. Fun... Sounds like so many ID advocates...

I doubt he will.  He seems to want a big audience, not logical science.  But it's an offer.  I made some predictions regarding this on the thread... we'll see if he has the stuff to come here. -------------- Ignored by those who can't provide evidence for their claims. http://skepticink.com/smilodo....retreat

You can practically see the saliva spattering onto his keyboard. Quote What you refer to as (your) truth, I call bigotry. Of what use is discussing anything with a highly opinionated poster who is concerned only with others addressing merely the matters of his own convenience, prejudices and malice? You just provide opponents with labels and distracting statements, and not arguments. And you call that science. I think it is merely a display of intransigence. Once again- I am not your valet or lackey to feed your rhetorically pompous, narrow-minded, diverting and dissuasive practices. I'll comment on what I choose to, just as you are doing.

Dr.GH Posts: 2333 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 03 2010,12:11    Well, my review got buried again. The key would seem to be also "down voting" the creationist's five star reviews. It is a good thing that science doesn't work by votes. BTW, Tim Beazley wrote a very good review. His has 16 (helpful) of 29 (total) votes.

In on of his earlier comments he mentioned that he is living in Japan (just like UDiot vjtorley). Maybe he got some bad fugu fish.

Mullings sound like a Hemingway character, has posted three long but vacuous comments on the Amazon forum discussing Meyer's odious tome "Signature in the Cell". In my last comment a week or so ago I told him that he could have the last word, and he has managed to blurt out about 6000 words so far. More amusingly, he edits them every few hours, even though there is no evidence that anyone has been reading them except for him. I've no intention to answer any of these; he has proven over and over that he won't bother to stay on topic and off the personal insults. But it would be fine with me if some of you clicked on the link above, read his rants, and voted his latest three comments as "unhelpful" if you think that they might just be that. A few more negative votes and they will be hidden from the view of anyone who blunders onto that site. Which would, of course, evoke more spittle-laden screen loads of drivel from him. At least it would keep him out of trouble... -------------- Flesh of the sky, child of the sky, the mind Has been obligated from the beginning To create an ordered universe As the only possible proof of its own inheritance. � � � � � � � � � � � � - Pattiann Rogers
