That journal is published out of the Smithsonian.Again, you have an opportunity to support your contentions. I don't see the publication listed here.....

Otherwise, nothing was done to him for his beliefs, or even for his actual transgressions of procedure that should have gotten him kicked out regardless of beliefs.
Again, he was "kicked out". It was spun, as you are attempting to do. But the fact that NCSE was intimately involved is a smoking gun. The email traffic proves that. NCSE has ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to contact any supervisory personnel of the Smithsonian.
Again, you have an opportunity to support your contentions. I don't see the publication listed here.. Most times I see it referenced, it's "Biological Society of Washington, Smithsonian Institution." I could be wrong. In any case, what does this have to do with anything? What he did showed him to be an irresponsible scientist.
Again, he was "kicked out".
Um, no. His status as Associate wasn't renewed (remember, his sponsor was dead so he wasn't there to renew Sternberg anymore), but he was continued as a Collaborator despite his violations of policy and mistreatment of artifacts. As a Collaborator, he still has an office and access to what he needs, he just doesn't work as closely with SI personnel. This is a normal occurrence.
NCSE has ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to contact any supervisory personnel of the Smithsonian.
You get to have your position at the SI by virtue of being a scientist in good standing. Misconduct brings disrepute upon the entire SI. Thus engineering the publication of an inferior-grade paper for a friend was of interest to the SI staff. Too bad you don't think they should have been contacted, because the NCSE is the one that said to leave his personal beliefs and creationist work out of it, warning them to make decisions solely based on his scientific work.
