I'm calm. I'm just point out that people should be careful about who they thank and when, and what for.
Thanks for a ping is OK. thanks for a response to a post is generally OK.
But this particular post was supporting a falsehood, and was extremely insulting. Thanking the poster was not appropriate.
I entered the sidebar at post 307 to bring the previous post to the attention of the ones who had been mentioned. I didn't take a side.
My contribution was to offer another source article for Anthony Flew's position on evolution since the original one had expired and to offer two more links to Gerald Schroeder's website, since he and Flew had just attended a conference before Flew publicly made his statement disavowing his previous atheism.
The only reply to my post was from hosepipe at post 358 where he said that Dimensio was correct. I'm not sure what was intended by the rest of the post and it wasn't material to my involvement.
Returning now to the question of who discovers fossil hoaxes - I frankly do not know and wouldn't assert anything without first researching it.
I would, however, say that I want scientists to hold all prior work to scrutiny - nothing in science should achieve the status of dogma.
