Linda and other leppers,
Don't jump on Neil Jones; just argue out the science.
That is NOT what Mr. Jones was doing! He
invites stinging replies with his abrasive
and offensive manner. He says he doesn't
want to start a flame war, then proceeds
to insult and offend.
In his reply regarding releases he did not
ARGUE THE SCIENCE. He called names:
lawbreakers, dubious salesmen, untruth
peddlers, and accused people of
deliberate deceit and not knowing subject.
He discredits in a petty fashion to convince
the reader to take his opinion. Or, he's
"protecting" them from lying carpetbaggers
(since the reader's not intelligent enough to
read for themselves and form their own
opinion). The "Bimbo and Rambo" comment,
was that ARGUING SCIENCE?? This sort of
attack and negative behavior does not open
the door to learning nor to any thoughtful
dialog between groups.
