I had a quick look. Google has Barry's office as "Permanently closed"

:(

Hopefully that was the old one. Fix your SEO /SEM, Barry!

Barry on his website espouses " having a standard of integrity far beyond what the world requires. "

The Better Business Bureau give him a D-

http://www.bbb.org/denver....0138018

So he *is* a better Lawyer than a scientist!

This is good too.  On the "Timaeus Exposes Larry Moran" thread several of the IDiots are panning Larry Moran because of his low ratings on ratemyprofessor.com.   Timaeus to his credit has admitted those stats have zero relevance to LM's knowledge of evolutionary biochemistry.  Soundburger doesn't want to let go yet, keeps bringing up the results to prove LM must be incompetent.

How much current relevance does ratemyprofessor's LM rating have?  Out of 26 rating posts there are

1 post from 2015
1 post from 2009
1 post from 2008
23 from 2006 or earlier.

Linky

Pretty much the only type of reviews on RMP are negative ones from kids who failed the course and want to hit back at the professor.  But still UD, bitching about 3 reviews in the last 9 years and only 1 in the last 6?  :D

Unfortunately,

      ratemyintelligentdesignwebsite.com

comes up "Page not found".

Is it an overly-specialised area, or has Barry banned it?

OT:

Why is Joe G. banned from commenting on UD? Joe’s contributions to UD have been invaluable. I say, ban the prevaricating Darwinists, not Joe.

- from the timeaus-exposes-larry-moran thread, UD link
Any evidence of this elsewhere?

In answer to the question in 61 above — which may be asked with gentle or malign intention — I will say that I have taught at several different institutions of higher education, including major research universities, regional universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges. I have taught in several different departments, have served on departmental committees, examined graduate theses, designed curriculum, and published many books and articles. I do not intend to give my current location to anyone here. And my current location has nothing to do with the point at hand, which is: why is a guy with no visible track record in evolutionary theory posing as one of the world’s authorities in the field, and why should anyone treat him as such? Why shouldn’t he be treated as simply as an opinionated biochemistry professor with a far-below-standard academic publication record in the field he is opinionated about?

Thus, it seems really, really unlikely that he is this one Dicovery Institue fellow who wrote his PhD thesis on Timaeus and

Gordon (KairosFocus) Mullings is now up to FYI/FTR #8. The content is of no interest, as is the case with most of his writing, but he included this little bit of paranoia:

(In addition, I have received a slander-laced remark from one of the denizens of the circle of hostile sites that confirms on the ground stalking and includes implicit threats.

Uh-oh, reverendspy is onto those evil Darwinists  
Quote
By examining all the evidence on both sides. I would think a sane person would have to come to the conclusion that any theory as persistent as darwinism, which has managed to survive 200 years of evidence produced to nullify it, has a supernatural power behind it. It is Darwin’s religious conviction, and the fanatics who propagate it have no more respect for fact or truth than a Spanish inquisitor engaged in a heretic hunt. Darwinism is not a scientific theory let alone fact. It is a religious conviction.

From a private message I've just learned that Reynolds is not Timaeus.

Timaeus is obviously Rich and Eddie over at BioLogos. He sometimes adds the last name Robinson to Eddie.

It doesn't match with a cursory reading of Reynolds.

Question for you. Do you think 7 000 000 000 people have any influence on the 27 000 000C ball of fire in the sky? Do you think that said fireball that is 1 000 000 times larger than this planet gives a hoot about CO2? If there is no reason for any of this why do you even care?


Gawd these people are stupid.

In part 10(!) of his "Elizabeth Liddle Is A Big Smelly Poopyhead" series, He Who Must Not Be Named takes the moral high ground:
Quote
Where, there is more than enough time and opportunity on the Web, to show intent to engage in reasonable discussion, if such is desired instead of the threadjacking stunt that has led me to do a FTR series in response for a little time. (Where, notice, there has been no deletion of comments, no banning of commenters, only my own act to terminate threadjacking and take time, day by day to speak to specific concerns, often by way of reply to talking points that are linked and cited. And, the links to the posts are not changing, I am listing them day by day and citing the list of linked headlines in each onward article.)

Admirable, He Who Must not Be Named.  Admirable.  No deletion of comments, no banning of commenters.  No comments, no commenters.

I'd like to suggest we pass the hat around and get He Who Must Not Be Named a cookie.  We can ask the team of on-the-ground stalkers to deliver it.

I especially like the recipe he posted in the same OP:

And red herrings dragged away to strawman caricatures soaked in ad hominems and set alight to cloud, confuse, poison and polarise the atmosphere are not to be equated to fair critical scrutiny.


This man really needs to seem some help.

you couldn't write GEM of TARD as a fictional character. Too unbelievable.

You might be able to do it in a Monty Python plot.

You'd only need a few lines of code to generate a cyber-he-who-must-not-be-named.

Should we suggest this project to Gary Gaulin?  It would be no more scientifically important than what he's doing now, but it could at least be amusing.

Hey, I have those on my CV.

OK, the 'local newspaper' is called Nature and they call them 'Correspondences', but it's really not much different.



Do you really count those. I don't.

Do you think I should?

Isn't your CV already nearly the size of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? ;)
