Ammonite,
You have not demonstrated any love of science. You are only engaging in slander. Tell me, what are the issues you have with the gene pool?

If you can’t answer the question, it shows you know not what you are talking about. If you can’t back up what you are saying, you should have kept quiet in the first place.

@Dan S de Merengue: If you can’t answer the question, it shows you know not what you are talking about. If you can’t back up what you are saying, you should have kept quiet in the first place.

Oh, were is @AJ Philips when you need him?

In the one debate I had with Dan, it I ended up saying I felt like a blow fly continually ramming itself into a pane of glass. It was actually giving me a headache. Fortunately the blow fly finally woke up to what was happening. There few things less amenable to fact and logic than a blow fly, but a pane of glass is one of them. It took this blow fly a long while to realise that is what he was up against.

AJ is one the very few that has the fortitude to follow through on the line of debate (a generous term, now that I think about it) Dan invariably engages in every time he appears here. Amazingly AJ persists until Dan S goes circular - brings up a point he earlier conceded.

Maybe AJ's human after all, and has got tired of it.

Slander?

Nowhere have I slandered anyone, least of all you.

What is it Dan, when you find yourself without an argument that would not support a feather, you throw around wild claims at those with whom you disagree?

My posting history which clearly demonstrates a love of science. Hmmmm on the claim of slander, methinks you are projecting much.

Thanks RStuart,
The last couple of times I conversed with AJ Philips recently he was quite reasonable, he had something substantial to say, and was able to engage with civility.

Ammonite,
Slander is saying things intended to malign and demean. Calling someone dumb is getting towards this. Does name calling pass for you as rational discussion?

It is likely that you do have a great love of science, as I would expect from someone with a degree in environmental science. However, when I asked you a specific question, you told me to go and read the encyclopedia. Such a response is just a brush off; it does not require any love for science to say that.

You are quite welcome to disagree with me. I only ask that you state what it is that you disagree with so that we don’t have to guess. This is why I asked you a specific question.
