Re: Primodial Polonium Poppycock
Was there perhaps some point at which even you began to wonder if maybe you weren't running a bit long? This is a rhetorical question, no response necessary.

Forum Guidelines Reminder
Please keep discussion focused on the topic rather than on the people discussing the topic. Each thread is an independent discussion. Positions are demonstrated to be accurate representations of reality (or not) through discussion and not by reference to outcomes in other threads.

​
Let me correct any misimpression that posts not receiving moderator admonishment are therefore deemed appropriate.
​
Explaining the Forum Guidelines and why or why not a given post was or wasn't sufficiently in compliance has been shown to be a hopeless task. Suffice to say that if discussion gets sufficiently out of hand that a moderator will step in. Or sometimes even before, like now.
​
We don't expect people to behave like programmed debate-bots, but I am requesting that the participants in this thread try to insure that the greater part of most messages focuses on the topic of discussion, which has been the history so far throughout this thread.

EvC Forum was created for the purpose of discussing the evidence and rational behind the science, not scientific credentials. It doesn't matter if a theory comes from Einstein or a thousand monkeys with typewriters, if it explains real world evidence better than any other theory then it wins.
​
Since it might help to break the pattern that seems to have established itself over the last few posts, let me commit to issuing short suspensions to *anyone* posting messages after this one that address the person instead of the topic or that contain arguments based upon the fallacy of appeal to authority.

Re: Moderator Request
I don't think I can say it any better than RAZD just did in Message 108:

No, the appeal to authority that you have used is that the source is more important than the substance of the argument.
​
About this from you:

Science relies on the appeal to authority within the process of peer review.
​
As much as is humanly possible, this is not true, but this is not the place to discuss this. If you'd like to discuss the degree to which the fallacy of appeal to authority is a factor in the peer review process, please propose a new thread over at [forum=-25].
​
In the remainder of this thread, participants are requested to argue the material issues and not the scientists associated with them.
​
That ends this matter. No replies, please.
