<HTML>I think it should just be dropped by all sides.
Some of the words you used:
>>slandered
>>flame fest
>>huge public episode
>>blamed
>>demanded
>>slanderous, insulting comments
>>making such a scene
>>etc etc
These are things we see a lot of, unfortunately, from people of all persuasions. My point was that Sharif (moderator at GHM
came under this sort of fire and no apology has been forthcoming. B&H are probably so sick of derision and insults (cowards, chicken, ill prepared, pseudoscientists etc), with no hint of apology, that they cant see why they should apologise either. Garrett made it clear that as far as he was concerned: "The issue of science vs. pseudoscience is THE core issue in this debate". IOW, B&H <b>ARE</b> pseudoscientists. Did Garrett apologise for this insult? No.
Like I said, it should just be dropped, as should all the calls for apology, as no-one is innocent in this one.
Cheers,
