I can point you to a thread about a "new species" of fruit fly being launched where no new species existed, nor exists now (three years later).

Balderdash. Fruit flies are frequently speciated in labs. Just because you insist they're still fruit flies--and that that somehow means something significant--does not mean they didn't speciate. Speciate means "can't breed together", it doesn't mean whatever you want it to mean.

Once again, attempting to control the debate by defining terms to suit yourselves. You can make a list--you can spam it and spam it--we'll see if you can enforce it. You clearly can't persuade, so enforcement is the only other option.
