In his response to my critique of “29 Evidences for Macroevolution,” Dr. Theobald accused me of devious tactics, widespread ignorance, and a host of intellectual sins. I have explained why these self-serving accusations are unfounded. It seems Dr. Theobald was more interested in fitting me with a stereotype, in portraying me as an unworthy critic, than in dealing fairly with what I was saying. His response includes personal attacks on me that do nothing to advance the discussion. They serve only as a cover for weak arguments.

I guess what you have to do is read the arguments and decide for yourself whether Theobald's accusations are unfounded or not. Personally I found Theobald's reply convincing and restrained but you may not. If Ashby has indeed "stated why these self-serving accusations are unfounded" I guess he has replied to Theobald's response but I missed his reply.

I now recall that that there is a further pair of response and counter response in the Theobald/Clark debate. Ashby's 2nd responses are in green in Theobald's response to Ashby, and are replied to in that document.
