And to be honest, I don't care for it (ie, the "rough talk"). But what
does one do when confronted with such utter nonsense (eg, read what
Stephen does with the Darwin quotes--it's outrageous)? And I am seriously
asking the question, what does one do with the Stephen Jones types of
the world? In earlier posts I tried a softer approach, now I've tried
embarrassing him, nothing works. And of course, point out his
methodological and education deficiencies (which ARE NOT PERSONAL
ATTACKS) and he whines like a dying horse (now this is a PERSONAL
ATTACK--but a very true observation). He seems to know it all, and that's
all there is to it. Any ideas?

As always, I appreciate your comments, Brian.
