RE: paleonet Stupid design

["Xavier Panades I Blas" <cogombra@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

I agree with you, and I can understand your point of view from a Professor. 
However, I am still think that ID and Creationist movement from any religion 
or group could have a dramatic impact on our field, and we need to respond 
to them to preserve our field.
We cannot keep ourselves in a "paleontological reserve" just scapping a 
livinga, and let other people take over our field, I think we ought to 
communicate our ideas to society in an organised way.

As well as I find your idea of "more scholarly Paleonet2"" and "some of our 
members have difficulties with English grammar "total bigotry and 
marginalisation of most of us to a chosen elite. I think we should spread 
and provide the proper ways to augment the number of people working in our 
field.

Finally, I would like to apologise for my words used in my message and any 
gramatical mistakes I have made (particularly when some of us are disable).

Respectfully,

Xavier Panades I Blas, Ms

Dear Colleagues

I like to think of Paleonet as a scholarly discussion group. I realize that
some of our members have difficulties with English grammar but I don't think
it appropriate that characterizations of 'moron' and 'stupid' and other
flames are appropriate ways to characterize people -- no matter what you
think of them.  Paleonet does seem to be changing its focus.  Perhaps it is
time to establish a more scholarly Paleonet2, that is more similar in
content to the way that Paleonet used to be.
