You need to make a better case for your position than just calling names and labeling labels.

If you don't want to look like a fool, then you had better address this charge to someone else. the person you are addressing (Ichneumon) has done more case building than anyone else on either side.

He states his case well, but then he demeans it by saying anyone that doesn't agree with this is a fool and all other sorts of names.

If one is trying to argue from a scientifically objective point of view, you don't stoop to ad hominem attacks. They betray one's own biases and uncertainty as to ones own position!
