So are they doing any research? Any bench work at all? Field work? Sure don’t look like it. It looks like they spend all the time on forums and blogs and freaking amazon looking at what people say about their books then responding on their social media accounts and blogs. So essentially the DI is a creeping teenage girl.
Also, Puck is far from a hack and tends to be very respectful in his reviews. You can find his reviews on pretty much every ID book on amazon
While I was somewhat flattered, in a perverse way, that they wrote a number of blog posts about a few of my comments here on this forum, it also struck me as a bit pathetic and desperate that that they felt compelled to devote so many words to attacking someone as insignificant as myself.
Hey, those thirty or so editors at BIO-Complexity have to find something to do. Heaven knows it’s not preparing any ID papers for publication in their journal.
Yes Bio-complexity Journal has 33 editors on the editorial staff and how many published papers in 2019?
Zero. No papers published in the first 8 months of 2019. This is behind the pace of 2018 which saw a total of 3 papers published which was well ahead of the 1 paper published in 2017. What does these 33 editors on the editorial staff do?
Ha! Hello, Faizal! I just said more or less the same thing in another post on this forum. At the point when they have to respond to li’l ole Puck Mendelssohn, it means that nobody more important than me is even talking about them!
This is totally the wrong way to think of it. Seriously. It is flattering and probably got more visibility to you than anything else. Frankly, it is respectful that they thought your ideas were worth engaging, and they are. So don’t knock them for taking you seriously!
I’m thinking of Richard Dawkins’s response to requests from creationists to debate him: “That would look good on your CV, but not so much on mine.” Not sure if I’m Dawkins or the other guy, though.
.Whatever the case, don’t insult them for engaging your ideas.
