RE: paleonet Palaeontology versus Geography versus Cultural Respe ct VersusPolitics






Hi everybody,

Thank you very much for your comments about the best way of locating a 
fossil. I think that it is dramatically important for a scientist how to 
locate a fossil,and as I stated in my previous emails, I had no political 
intentions in my email. However, we can see that science sadly still lacks 
of an international agreement in respect to this important issue. In fact, 
as you could see personal feelings, insults, threatens come to light many 
times instead of looking for an agreement. I do not wish to waste my time 
defending myself from the unfair accusations from Bruno Garnier, Miguel 
Pardo, and Patricio Dominguez. Using something that is not related to the 
issue I have exposed to diminish my being, says everything about them as 
people, although they could be very good scientists! Fortunately, they are a 
minority!



I am a very active member of paleonet@nhm.ac.uk and veter?? lists, and I had 
never had any problem, and I am glad to be accepted and I thank all of you. 
I have helped as much as I could to the questions other people have posted 
in the lists, and no complaints have ever been fowarded to the owners. 
Therefore, the expelling from IBERPAL is a minor issue that as I said these 
lists are not a place to discuss. However, that the list is only in the main 
language is Spanish (or Castillian) but any other Latin language (Romance 
language) is most welcome (French, Italian, Portuguese,...), and strong 
comments about that anglo-saxon magazines and scientists marginalised 
Ibero-American languages and authors says everything about it. Personally, I 
think that any list should allow members to communicate in any language, no 
cultural barriers etc....

In addition, I would like to openly know whether I am not welcome on both 
lists. Therefore, I would like that people comment on me. If I am an 
undesirable member of both lists, I will unsubscribe voluntarily.

Sincerely,



Xavier Panades I Blas
