Yeah, he's a real lightweight; DUH.

Slandering a man's name because you don't like the results. Sad and unreal that this is acceptable here on FR with no PROOF.
Hi Howlin. That's all very impressive and I'm sure he's a fine guy. I don't know anything about him personally. However , I'm reminded of a professor - in fact several professors I worked with at MIT. They were all extremely well known men and if you were to look up their bios on line you'd see their education and the honors they've received, and the work they've accomplished, blah blah. What you wouldn't see, and what I know, because I worked for them, is that they 3 of them were rotten bastards. One was an outright and well known liar within the Institute, another one was considered autistic at best and actually insane at the worst, and the third was considered as having extremely bizarre views by his peers. However, all of these things were known informally, but of course, no one says anything publicly as its an old boys network and no one rocks the boat.
So all of this may be true about Dr. Thogmartin, and then again, there may be things we don't know either. We can't just look at the surface of things.
Thanks for the info on Dr. Throgmartin. Is it just me, or are people getting more free with accusations then even before? It's as though the facts are staring them in the face and they have to throw up a cover of lies to keep from seeing them.
