Fred's a member here, but last time we exchanged emails he said he was very busy playing a moderator role at OCW (Organization of Creationist Websites). But I suggest you let Fred know you've posted a rebuttal here and perhaps he'll reply. Naturally, just as you've already done, lengthy rebuttals should be linked to rather than posted in messages.

Two things. First:

I know of no links to Haldane's 1957 paper, for the simple fact that it came out in 1957! I have a hard copy, and can mail a copy to you if you'd like.
Can you scan this in? If not I wish you could snail-mail it to me, but I can't make my home address available, since then I could scan it in myself.
Anyway, if you *do* scan it in at around 150 dots/inch (or better) and email to me I can convert it to characters, add it to our reference library, and then people can do copy-n-paste's from it.
Second, I think Mister Pamboli's comment that yours and Fred's relative styles have the potential to send this into a flame war have merit. Would you be willing to edit your response so that it focuses more on Fred's issues and less on Fred?
To all: In this debate feelings tend to run high, and it is all too easy to conclude that the motives and strategies of your opponents are less than honorable. That's why rule 2 of the guidelines exists. If your evidence and arguments are strong they do not need, indeed are weakened by, derogatory and self-serving comments about your opponents.

As for the 'personal' thing with Fred, it is hard not to respond with flaming gibberish with an in-kind reply.
If Fred's contributions are really flaming gibberish then is there really a need to dignify them with a response? Anyway, in composing a response to gibberish, replying "in-kind" can make it very difficult for other people to tell who is the raving lunatic

SLP and JP,
I think it's a good idea for you two to "meet" and attempt to reconcile your differences. I hope it works out, but please be aware that the next guidelines violation will earn the guilty party a 24-hour vacation.

JP,
Please leave the personal issues aside and focus on topics under discussion. Let the moderator deal with the rest. Thanks!
