"The word "kind" has a great deal of meaning."

Not in science.

". No doubt you can make it through a month, or maybe a week, without using the word, or any of its cognates, but most people find it a very useful part of their vocabulary."

Most people aren't taxonomists.

"So, it's obvious that "kind" is simply not prohibited in even peer reviewed journals."

If I didn't know I would get banned ( and if I was raised differently), I would tell you where to go after insulting my intelligence with this tripe. You know I wasn't talking about the trivial use of the word *kind* but the attempt by creationists to use *kind* as a meaningful taxonomic term.

"I think your claim is without foundation."

I think you're full of $%%^.

I'm simply trying to demonstrate that all of the evidence you mustered regarding the word "kind" is ephemeral and without substance.

That doesn't mean you didn't mean well, but you misrepresented the facts.

What kind of scientist does that?
