But what about the "penis envy"?


LMAO I'm not sure where that came from or which of us has the envy?

But the quote in the OP on this thread is the perfect point of being neither careful or thorough. He uses a obscure reference from the 60's saying there were Florida horse remains dated to 100 b.c.. What he conveniently fails to mention is that the find has been discredited as a botched result, the dating could not be replicated. Paul Martin, the original author, now refers back to this earlier work and holds it up as a example of bad dating in the early years of 14C testing.

//As a point of clarification. I have no problem with Tvedtnes or any other individual. I'm not big on attacking people personally and could car less for those conversations. I just don't like a bunch of junk science being used to support far fetched ideas.

Dang. I knew I should have given more attention to my creepy dossiers.

For what it is worth, I think Runtu leads the field in article tallys, if you count all his posts.

Since we do that these days, I will call him "Dean Runtu" from now on.

I'm inclined to agree. And I further find it telling that Tv was so harsh on Brent Yorgason for citing evidence Tv didn't think qualified to support the Book of Mormon. In fact, years later, he would recall his rage over Brenton in another FARMS article. And strangely, it turns out that he is more guilty of flawed research than Brenton, given that this is his profession.

I love the allusion to John Tvedtnes's supposed "rage." That's a very, very Scartchian touch.

You've got the Scartchmeister down to a tee, Gad. I salute your craftsmanship!

Magnificent spoofing once again Gad. Wow! Tvedtnes more guilty of flawed research than Brenton...... Oh that's rich! THanks for the entertainment.

It MIGHT be the case that Brenton has made more cumulative errors in his scholarship, but if you take an education and training to output ratio, Tv is clearly far worse.

Oh so now any of us can just start making claims? Kewl! Well in that case, if you take an education and training to output ratio, Brenton is clearly far worse.

How'd I do, huh? Huh? Hey! I can play like this to. I feel so......well, so smart now.

What the f-u-c-k do "credentials" have to do with a person who has spent the last two years crawling up Daniel Peterson's ass, whoring himself out for "hot tips", making umpteen error filled accusations/assertions on this board, a person with "credentials" who talks about scoring "points" like a 12 year old...

and the "credentials" have to do with what exactly?

Color me decidely unimpressed.
