In his very first post to me on Free Republic, Joey (a non-scientist) lectured me (a scientist) on how ignorant I was about science."
Kalamata claims to be a scientist, but his posts make perfectly clear he's just the opposite, he's anti-science.
Worse, he dishonestly claims that whatever Kalamata believes is science, while what he disagrees with is not.
So "science" in Kalamata's world-view begins with the Bible and ends wherever it might be seen to conflict with Kalamata's interpretations of Biblical text.
As for "casting aspersions", that's what Kalamata does -- it's not just his modus operandi, it's also his raison d'etre.
Kalamata: "The problem with know-it-alls, like Joey, is they have been name-calling for so long they don’t even realize their words are insulting.
The only “insults” they hear are those thown back at them."
"Know-it-all" certainly describes Kalamata, with smears, name-calling & insults his major weapons.
He also brings a large repertoire of tactics for denying reality and asserting his own fantasies.
In all fairness, Kalamata's ability to word-search whole libraries full of books & documents in order to deliver accurate quotes is beyond anything I can approach or have seen elsewhere.
Yes, I've seen him abuse quotes, for example, to make a scientist like Stephen Gould sound anti-science, but I've never yet seen, or caught, Kalamata faking quotes.
