Dear Andrew,

Realise that calling somebody a crackpot will only serve to diminish
other's opinions of yourself. I followed the discussion on the Mollusca
list, and although Ken Kinman's theories go largely unsubstantiated, the
behaviour of some scientists on that list, including yourself, has been
nothing short of disgusting. You may not agree with the individual, to
publicly call him all the names he has been called is childish, emotive and
very un-scientific.

I have enjoyed some of your other posts. Please stick to writing
contributions that don't involve accusations towards others, on this list
or off. I am sure everybody else will agree.

Patty
