A Note About Terms of Service For This Blog

Everyone,

This blog is for a serious discussion of the issues raised by our book "Dark Mission." As the moderator, I'm not going to allow endless circular discussions, smart-ass postings with no meaningful contribution to the discussion, or repetition of the same arguments over and over again after a question has been asked and answered. I've been a bit lenient to this point, but if your post does not appear it is because I have it deemed it to fall into one of these categories.

Because our book is off to a good start, I expect the amount of ad hominem attacks and rabble rousing by our critics to increase. I will not allow this blog to degenerate by allowing this sort of behavior.

Criticism of our data and arguments is certainly allowed, as long as it is informed criticism that invites a serious response.

These are the rules. If you don't like it, don't post here.

For the record, I'm not a critic of the authors - at least not here. I'm a critic of a social science fraud. I thought your science would be better showcased with bullet-prof social science.

I wish you the best of luck with your book !

The rules are fine - but I would hope that, unless someone is a habitual offender against said rules, you will let someone know when their post has been rejected.
