Which libel was that?

The one that was in post #2, now removed by the moderators. (They apparently agreed about the libel.)

And the same libel that was mirrored in several other responses to you, which also were removed by the moderators. That libel.

To Coyoteman: I see - you're not too perceptive.

Post 2 was, of course, a joke - mocking Hawking's actual libel of the deceased Pope John Paul II.

To Admin: I happily abide by your decision, but please advise why the satirizing of Hawking's lying claims is impermissible.

Maybe he has another book coming out or someone in his family needs more money--ala Deep Throat.

This sounds apocryphal, to me. John Paul II was a keen intellectual and respected other intellectuals.

I can't believe that he would ask anyone to refrain from investigating anything, especially in the absence of a like request of some other scientist.

Hawking is obviously lying, and lying about someone who is now dead and cannot answer the charges.

If you can't see the difference between what you said and what Hawking's said, I'd be more than happy to give you some time off to think about it.

Thanks,
