I don't hear anywhere near as much from the nutty old fart as I used to. I assume he still loves it so, and that the invitation to kiss his ass to a purple blister still stands? |
Assuming for the sake of argument this is a serious question, John still has his latest blog here. Note that he has progressed from the single-endless-thread format to the new, improved several-parallel-endless-threads format. He has also managed to goad a couple of responses from Springer over at ISCID, and accrued a few more bannings from several other websites. Not bad for an eighty-year-old. |
Well, as serious as anything having to do with Javison can be...
I see that most of his comments are from himself, and that VMartin is still his special friend.
Does he still call you Falan Ox?
Hey, never heard about this before (I know, it was probably discussed here):

Speaking of selective banishment, my papers have been restored on the side bar at Uncommon Descent, but I am still unable to comment freely there or defend them in any way. I have no password.
I recently received an email from David Springer inviting me to participate at Uncommon Descent but with the following qualifications. David Springer has created a “contibutor membership” in my name. I was intrigued by this and soon found out that the “devil is in the details.”
Springer explains - “As a contributor you can write articles under your own name and manage the comments. Any articles you write are saved as draft copies. An administrator has to approve the draft for publishing. If you want to write articles email me to get your drafts published. As long as it’s about science and isn’t offensive to evangelicals it’ll get published. A notable exception is the global warming topic. Dembski and I both believe it’s based on consensus science and I think you will agree science is not a democracy where the truth is determined by a majority…”
Without going further into the details, Springer indicated that if I did not comply he would remove my papers from the side bar.

Not to my face. Actually if we avoid the PEH, we do have some common ground. We both think climate change is a real phenomenon and David Springer is not a very nice person.
Regarding the dealings with Springer, I think Dave would like John to rejoin the ID fold, if only he would behave with a bit more decorum. John, to his credit, will have nothing to do with Springer. Unfortunately John has been seduced, so to speak, by that Canadian siren and extraordinary wordsmith, Denyse O'Leary. See Overwhelming Evidence.
