It's one thing to copy the html code for my ping list logo, which you did in post 50. Anyone can do that. It's not very original of you, but it's no big deal. If you had asked for the code I would have given it to you. But you didn't ask, did you?

It's quite another thing, however, to hijack the names from my ping list for your own use, when you've had no previous contact with any of those people, or with me. At minimum, your conduct is exceedingly discourteous.

If this were my website I'd ban you on the spot. My hope is that the mods will -- at least -- strongly warn you not to repeat your behavior.

[demoRat watcher]

I don't see any reason to ping the list for an obvious nutcase.

You're just annoyed that someone pre-empted your decision to not share this information with the evo- inner circle. FReerepublic is about open debate and spreading the inside story. Relax.

[PatrickHenry]

Your opinions about my motives are of no interest. Don't post to me. Don't ever post to me.

[AmishDude]

Oh, I think the news of this award-winning, well-respected biologist should be shared with those most interested in the latest developments in that beknighted field.

He might be nuts, but he's using his credentials to prop up his nuttiness. And it seems, as usual, when "practical" scientists embarass the profession, the profession deals with it by pretending it didn't happen.

Same Science, Different Day.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

I never asked to be on this *list*. As it isn't April 1st, there is no excuse. Please desist from pining me again.

BTW, I never said I was a scientist.

[grey_whiskers]

Don't know how you all will feel about this one - could spark some interesting conversation (your discretion).

I don't see any reason to ping the list for an obvious nutcase.

You don't think nutjobs (or worse, depending on how serious he is) like this don't give science a bad name?

This article proves one thing: Scientists are not Gods and some of them are actually insane.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

That should have been *pinging* me, not *pining*.

[demoRat watcher]

Here's the problem, King Prout:

...almost every scientist, professor and college student present stood to their feet and vigorously applauded the man who had enthusiastically endorsed the elimination of 90 percent of the human population

Either this does not bode well for the next generation of science or the entire room was filled with "nutjobs".

Surprisingly, none of the staunchest advocates of the scientific community of FR seem to think this is a problem.

Fixed.

That should have been *pinging* me, not *pining*.

No fjords in your past, eh?

Zoology isn't a hard science. :P

By defeating a virus, the survivor has the genetic code to fight it. Sometimes a virus can go dormant and hide (HIV). The virus doesn't always die within the survivor's body. It may stay with him/her for life. It doesn't necessarily mean that the virus can be transmitted either.

Ebola survivors have donated blood to new victims with some measure of success (from what I've heard).

Hoping for an Ebola scurge is not very likely. Bacterial infection is the more likely WMD agent, and plagues generally hurt poorer nations.

Ironically, the diabolic mindset to rid the world of the human race is usually a mind that hates industrialized nations and is enamored with "simple" 3rd world cultures.

From this present uncharitable horror show, I wouldn't be suprised if this results oriented malicious-minded "doctor" ultimately targets homosexuals instead of industrialists captialists just to have some measure of success. After all, who was the Nazi that stated, "At least we killed 6 million Jews"? Might the diabolic "doctor" say in similar fashion, "at least we killed the homo's."

The crowd that enjoys sexual perversion as a entertainment or a lifestyle should be especially leary of Ebola murderers. Condoms aren't armor enough and neither are latex underwear. Death by any virus is horrifically painful. I doubt bacterial infection is any cozier.

Toning down the virus to stretch its incubation period while making it more survivable in harsher environments will effect those most likely to catch a virus in the first place.

Homosexual activists catching the virus puts society at greater risk considering the past behavior of their most extreme elements. Spreading disease has been on Act-Up's agenda as part of their pursuit of power plan.

Note to the left of center crowd: killing off homosexuals will not make the Democratic party appear more moderate. Everyone, not just unborn children, has a right to life (including sinners struggling with lust and same sex attraction). Using or appealing to the worst of human haters to rid your party's sexually perverted elements will not help you politically nor will it ensure a stable future.

Historical example:



Ernst Röhm

Memorable History is not that old.

[Pelham]

, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species

Wasn't this the theme of a Thomas Crichton novel?

[narby]

Please remove me from this ping list. I don't know what "Humanicentrism" is, other than a late april fools joke. A sick one at that.

[RunningWolf]

//This article proves one thing: Scientists are not Gods and some of them are actually insane//

It certainly does. Then there are the scientific 'poseurs' that actually think they own html code etc. On a less consequential level thats insane /sarc>

Also the same people that order you never to ping them with sanctiomious indignation will simultaneously have no issue about having a sidebar about you all for your 'entertainment'

That's because not everyone who goes to work and does science for a living is a kooky misanthropic zoologist.

I really doubt, for example, that there were many chemists, physicists, engineers, or even the majority of the University of Texas's biology department present.

Nutty people showed up to listen to a nut. They likely knew what they would hear. Like the man said, he was preching to the choir.

[editor-surveyor]

"'Why are we here?' That question is answered in evolution. Everyone should be required to take this class to 'spread the word.'"

That is a perfect summation of what promoting the death-culture of evolution has done to this country.

[demoRat watcher]

Sure, no problem!

Just so you know, it will be called the "Anthropocentrism Ping List", in future (in case you change your mind and want to be kept abreast of this dangerous movement that is rocking the scientific world).
