leopold:
go ahead, wield that ban hammer.
COMPLY OR DIE ! ! !
i was right, you ARE a commie.
I see you're insulting me. You'd do better to reply to what I've written. Otherwise, you make yourself look even more like a petulant child.
what's up james, does it hang in your craw that small changes do not accumulate?
Does it hang in your craw that you have to rely on one misquote from a 30 year old article to even start to support that contention? Is that why you're so angry?
huh?
james has the article right in front of his face.
the conclusion of this conference was stated on the very first page.
i've asked james twice already to post what it was, and he hasn't.
I responded to you request to post "the conclusion of the conference" earlier. Now that you say you want the first page, I've posted that just above. In short, I have replied to you in full.
Now, how about you show a modicum of intellectual honesty and post what
you think the "conclusion of the conference" was, as described by your favorite article?
I've done my best. If you think I've got it wrong, then show me the "correct" conclusion.
If you can't do that, then you will shut up about this.
then the . . . has the gall to threaten me with a ban.
play the retard james.
There's another insult. This is a breach of sciforums site rules.
the conclusion is stated clearly along with ayalas quote.
they are 2 distinct things and both are presented in the article.
Where?
Post the quotes.
BTW, thanks for the link, it gives me a chance to prove i haven't been "pulling this for years"
most certainly not since 2007 like james said.
post 66 of your reference states such.
Actually, it looks like this particular creationist misquote and the related article were first mentioned on sciforums back in 2007, but not by you.
It looks like you first got the bee in your bonnet in 2012 or 2013 (although I might have missed some earlier threads).
So, let's say that you've been pulling this for at least 2 years, on and off. That's fair.
yes sir, ayala bitches and moans to everyone else EXCEPT to the party that published the "offending" quote.
Ayala obviously didn't think it was a big enough issue to bother contacting
Science about.
there can be only one reason why science never "corrected" the ayala quote, deal with it.
Wrong!
There could be many possible reasons why
Science never corrected it. The simplest is that they were never asked to. It only became a fringe issue when the creationists got onto it. Real scientists generally ignore creationist rubbish, particularly in peer reviewed journals.
i've asked him twice to post what the conclusion of the conference was, and he refuses.
then tells me not to tell lies and implies i will probably be banned.
Ironically, you're telling lies right here. I posted what I regard as some conclusions of the conference in response to your first demand that I post "the conclusion".
As for you, you apparently are keeping "the conclusion of the conference" a secret that only you know. Why is that? Why won't you tell us, leopold?
you see bells, i've read the article, i KNOW what the conclusion was, and so does james.
So, what was the conclusion? Tell us. And provide the quote(s).
this DOES NOT resolve this little situation surrounding this BOGUS retraction of ayalas.
Ayala didn't retract anything, let alone make a "bogus" retraction.
science is DIRECTLY responsible for the quote and ayala would have them by the balls legally if they didn't rectify the situation.
You're assuming that this issue is important to Ayala. It isn't. It's a non-issue for biology and evolution. Who cares if yet another creationist quote-mine is exposed? Not real science journals, that's for sure. They are for real science, not fringe creationist rubbish.
example:
you give someone a piece of paper that says "one plus one equals two".
you ask that person "what does that say?"
the "retard" replies with something other than what you asked for.
So, you correct the "retard" by posting the correct thing that you wanted. So why don't you, leopold?
you know, i have repeatedly asked james not to refer to me as a creationist
he does so with almost every post he makes to me.
You are a creationist. You don't believe that evolution happened. Therefore, all life must have been created by something. I don't much care too much whether you believe the "intelligent designer" was God or aliens or a green pixie from Milwaukee. You're a creationist because you believe in Creation and not evolution.
If the shoe fits ...
mia culpa my friends.
he usually gets called a cunt or hitler, i figured a change of pace was in order.
i think a better phrase would be frankenstein in a weenie outfit.
More insults, I see. This is a breach of our site rules, and will have to be dealt with.
exposing fraud in science isn't important?
What fraud are you talking about? Who are you accusing of scientific fraud? And where's the evidence that backs up your accusations?
the link i had no longer works, or i would.
direct from jstor servers.
like a dumbass, i didn't download the issue.
hey, ask james, i hear he has a copy.
it's probably not sourced from jstor though.
It's ok. You can access the article from the Wayback link you were given above. And so can everybody else.
just like the link i posted, some things have a habit of disappearing.
The article is available for download from Wayback for free. If you don't trust that, pay
Science and download it from them.
frauds have surfaced before, and we all know it.
No we don't, because you've provided nothing that indicates fraud.
Do you have anything? If not, then post a retraction of your accusations.
i would bet a million dollars that a transcript was made of the conference.
Most scientific conferences don't have transcripts. Some modern conferences are videoed (rarely). Conferences usually publish proceedings that summarise the presentations.
i'll also bet that science has it.
No.
Science publishes peer-reviewed articles.
this little dilemma throws into dispute almost every non confirmed "retraction" ever made on this subject.
Give us a few examples of other "retractions" you think are in dispute.
my honest opinion?
i wouldn't trust anything that didn't come directly from jstor servers.
Then buy the article direct from Science. That's the original source, not jstor.
um, my "precious" article came from jstor.
not from a personal site or from wayback or anywhere else.
I have a copy of the original article. The Wayback one is accurate. If you don't trust that, purchase the original from Science.
