Don't know him at all. I responded to the language. The reply quoted below came in response to my comments which said, yes, let's look at the math and not make the mistake of confusing anecdotal evidence with science. Those comments didn't warrant a sermon and that's what I got. Get off my case and quit trying to be everybody's hero. That being said, you are right, I don't know a lot about the technical aspects of this subject which is why I have followed it so carefully. I still agree with Ron N. whose approach of trying to establish a common base from which to work made sense since there seems to be so much disagreement about the fundamentals. Some people, you included, seem so hung up on opinion based on anecdotal evidence and theoretical speculations at the exclusion of the science that the conversation has largely become redundant and useless. I find this topic strange in that people seem so emotionally caught up in it. When somebody offers a rational, mathematically based explanation for things that have one, they seem to be labeled as a heretic or accused of representing their own self interests. People thought the earth was flat once too, and burned witches at the stake. I guess we are not so far removed from that, are we? Is that provocative enough for you Ric? I think I will step out of this RC/CC conversation for awhile, though. I'm not seeing much progress, nor, I will admit, contributing to it.
