Lisa:
I don't think Richard's personality is the issue here. Richard might be
obnoxious, and he might be a "stalker" (whatever that's supposed to mean),
but that doesn't tell me whether or not Richard or Wesley make some valid
criticisms about Dembski's work. Personally, I was impressed with Richard's
article, and I'm impressed with the way he has defended it on the ARN board.
Nelson:
Actually Lisa, Rich didn't defend anything on the ARN board. He simply
insulted Mike Gene and myself and dismissed my objections.
Lisa:
It is not surprising then, that Dembski dismisses Richard and Wesley with a
cheep-shot ad hominem. That was a big mistake, in my opinion. It looks as
if they've hit a nerve.
Nelson:
When you have responded to the same criticism over and over again, and when
they refuse to respond to other IDers , but just respond to Dembski, then
you kinda get the feeling that there is something more going on. Let Wesley
and Rich publish their material in the forums Dembski provided, then they
will be taken seriously. Otherwise, their motivation is obvious.
