"Dont let's forget that this started with an innocent request for locality information." Innocene is not excuse! "The terminology of science is a means of international communication, and in a geographically based science such as geology this includes locality information. Our political views should have no bearing on our need to provide universally understood information. To ignore existing geopolitical units (e.g. Spain) runs counter to this need, and sets a dangerous trend. We cannot pretend, for example, that (at present) Tibet is not part of China, or that northern Ireland is not part of the U K. This does not mean that we dont respect (or agree with) the views of those opposed to their current status." You contradict yourself first you say " a geographically based science" and then carry on using the State -Nation names....You are accepting the current disrespectful manners you have chosen politically! I do not understand In this the solution has been outlined several time...we should use the geographical " as geology is geographically based science"names British Isles, Iberia Peninsula, instead of Britan and Spain! and use the GPS information and additionally the legal body that regulates the fossil legalities in that area...Then, we would avoid stirring any nacionalistic spirits like those of my attackers and identitirian like mine! "We are all involved in politics, whether we like it or not, but please lets keep it out of our science." First try to understand what you say!...Tell me about it I am still banned from acertain list for my identity!
