One of the most cogent things I've heard recently is Carpinterio's explanation of the Luneau video, cutting out Jackson from peer review, etc,
"This was a mistake? No, this was a strategy."
I think we should all agree to this and stop arguing the "facts" of the video etc. In many ways, even the video is now ignored by Fitzcrow et al. They are instead spreading these ideas of endless non-searched habitat and ultra wary IBWOs. Just more strawdogs thrown in our face to keep the story alive and buy themselves more time.
Instead, we should concentrate on the strategy as Carpinterio says. Does anyone know the history between Jackson and Fitzcrow?
This is an ode to the oldest story never told About those whose conscious tells them to be bold Self described posters fondly called the anona-mice Those brave souls who must remain anonymous
While some may try to rule by intimidation Using bluff and misinformation for their salvation Using bad science and logic as a strategy But don’t confuse this poem with an elegy
For out of darkness something great has come A salvation of comment as loud as a beating drum Giving hope to those who suspect the worst Given by those who were there from the first Like lurking ghosts from the French resistance They are there to provoke and make insistence That bad ideas promoted for personal gain Are evil beasts that should be slain
So next you run across a blistering post Written by nothing more than a literate ghost Be aware of the debt you owe To brave souls who struck the blow

What more needs to be said.

A salvation of comment as loud as a beating drum
Giving hope to those who suspect the worst

That bad ideas promoted for personal gain
Are evil beasts that should be slain
So next you run across a blistering post
Written by nothing more than a literate ghost
Be aware of the debt you owe
To brave souls who struck the blow
