To commenters who have been messing up this blog
JAD, you are of course welcome to post comments here, but many of your comments are just unnecessarily repetitive. VoiceInWilderness, unlike JAD you have not been addressing the issues here but have just been making comments that attack me personally, and many of these comments have been repetitive. Also, some commenters have been impersonating other commenters.
I have gone to a great deal of trouble to build this blog and I am very resentful that some people are messing it up with these comments. Visitors are not going to want to wade through all of your junk to reach the comments that actually discuss the issues. You have been taking unfair advantage of my no-deletions policy. That is very discourteous.
I don't want to discourage people from speaking their minds here, but I feel that some self-control is in order.

Is Larry starting to understand why blogs like The Panda's Thumb have some basic rules that it requires posters to follow?
Heh heh heh...
The beauty of this blog is the way it demonstrates how certain sorts will gravitate to any place that will allow them to ptactice their cowardly, denigrating, ego-gratifying, sociopatholiogical, congenital, "prescribed" tendencies. It is great! Don't discourage these "natural born" defectives, encourage them! Just ridicule them as I do for refusing to identify themselves or, alternatively, demand their real identities. That would slow the cowards down plenty. I just assume that any anonymous or impersonating message came from Spravid Dinger, the biggest deceiving hypocrit in cyberspace. He knows all the dirty tricks and, like everything else he does, he brags about it.
Of course it is your blog to do with what you will. It is the American way,
I know I have been repetitive. It is a well known educational device called rote learning. If it doesn't succeed it sure won't be my fault.

Heh heh heh yourself. Here are the facts about my comments on PT --
(1) I never posted under multiple names until after I was banned and then I had to post under multiple names in efforts to evade the bans.
(2) I never impersonated another commenter, though I threatened to do so in self-defense to help prevent arbitrary deletion of my comments ( I did post under another commenter's name once, but that was in some test comments and I clearly stated that I was not the named commenter ).
(3) My comments were generally on-topic. Calling my comments off-topic was just a pretext for deleting them. PT gave its favored commenters much more latitude in deviating form the topic. Threads are called "threads" and not "ramrods" because threads are supposed to have some flexibility.
(4) Some of my ideas were repetitive (e.g., my slogans, "there is no constitutional separation of bogus science and state" and "scientists can use evolution theory even while believing that all or part of it is untrue" ), but I did not repeat the same idea in the same thread. Other commenters repeated the same ideas in different threads -- there is nothing wrong with that. I kept introducing new ideas in response to new topics and most of my comments were not repetitive. Also, I do not have to stop posting an idea just because some people think that idea has been "refuted."
(5) I did not heckle other commenters with insults and ad hominem attacks.
(6) My comments on PT were serious, not frivolous. I made the same kind of comments on PT that I am making here.

Thanks very much for your support.
Larry
All you have to do is ask your patrons to present their real names, email addresses and other requested information. Those that do will be taken seriously, those that don't will not. i have never given any credence to anything that any anonymous poster presented and I never will. Can you imagine serious science being pursued with anonymous posters impersonating one another? I can't. Anonymity is nothing but license for abuse from unfulfilled blowhards and neurotic spiteful sociopaths. It is the greatest weakness in internet dialogue and should never have been allowed. The majority of your clients are anonymous, some multiple offenders, and it shows in the quality of their posts.
I love it so!

Yes, and I challenge anyone to find a single instance where I violated the rules, except for my posting under multiple names, which I was forced to do because I was banned.
Furthermore, Anonymous, I don't know how many people you are, so you might as well use multiple names.

Of course you can verify a real name and a real street address as well as a real email address. It would take a little trouble but not much.
Oh hell, it is your blog, do what you want with it. As far as I am concerned anonymous posters aren't worth a nickel and should be treated with contempt.

I have to say it seems somewhat ironic that you can complain about John's and others' repetitive posts and yet not accept how irritating your repetitive posts were at Pandas Thumb.

You are so full of crap that it is coming out of your ears. I was not unnecessarily repetitive on PT. I addressed the issues in each new topic. I repeated previously presented ideas only where necessary. As Anonymous said, the record is there for anyone to see. My earliest comments on PT were posted under the name Larry Fafarman, but later I posted under several pseudonyms, mostly Andy H.
Anyone who reads this blog can easily see that I have enough variety of thoughts that I do not need to be unnecessarily repetitive.
Well, Larry, here is a list of comments at PT by Larry Fafarman. I lost the will to live before getting anywhere near the end. There seems a repetitive element there to me. I also note you were warned about posting etiquette very early on, which makes your claim about censorship a bit weak.
Here is the link.

Where is the "repetitive element" ? All this list shows is that I made a lot of comments on PT -- but so have a lot of other commenters. Also, to show that comments are unnecessarily repetitive, it may be necessary to show the contexts of the comments.
I saw Lenny Flank make a lot of repetitive posts on PT -- he had a stock post that just said stuff like "ID is just religious apologetics" and "ID proponents are lying when they say that it is not." Yet no one ever blamed him for making repetitive posts.
>>>> I also note you were warned about posting etiquette very early on, which makes your claim about censorship a bit weak.<<<<<<
I already went over all this stuff in the thread about censorship on PT and AOL. I said that I was warned after making one threat to use multiple names and I promised to not repeat the threat.
Really, I am fed up with wasting time responding to these baseless accusations. Please either put up or shut up.
Larry
I put the link in for others to draw their own conclusions. I suggest you may find it difficult to be objective about your own posts.
Lenny's habit of repeatedly asking the same questions of IDers can be excused on the grounds that no IDer ever answered them.
If there was ever a blog that needed a policeman it is this one. If Larry doesn't do it, who will?
"Yes, and I challenge anyone to find a single instance where I violated the rules, except for my posting under multiple names"
Paraphrase:
"Find a single instance where I violated the rules except when I violated the rules".
Posting under multiple names is pure cowardice and should be grounds for lifetime bannishment.
How do you like them apples oh most anonymous one? I hope they give you gas. You sound like Spravid Dinger, the mouthiest bully in cyberspace. Of course we will never know will we. Two-faced phonies are like that.
I love it so!

That remark was rather tactless, john, in view of your host's previous admission that:

Larry, do you think the intelligent designer is a space alien, time traveler, god, or a celestial turnip?
Personally I lean towards the Mr Potato Head theory but I am interested in your opinion.
Hey Larry, post everyone's social security number and a picture from their drivers license! That will stop the trouble makers.
Also, is it cool to speculate about who/what the intelligent designer is on your blog? William Dembski bans people from doing so on his blog.
Personally, I think there is significant evidence that suggests the intelligent designer is Mr Potato Head himself and that he made things look like they had evolved to keep us from discovering him. What's your take on that?
I love it so!
I have critiqued this blog on another thread so I won't repeat myself here. Enjoy insulting each other.
I love it so!
Just because PT deletes posts for unjust reasons, doesn't mean that you can't delete posts for just reasons.
I am a member of another blog (unrelated subject matter) where the rules are: no foul language, no incivility. Violating comments are subject to deletion.
Guess what? There is no foul language and the tone is very civil. All matter of opinions are allowed, they simply must be presented in a courteous manner.
You may not want to go there, but it works in some cases.
It looks like I have been elevated to the point of even having my own subject here.
Now let's get down to the issues here. It looks like you were the first of many to post under fake names. You have admitted to doing it on other blogs and you have obviously done it here. What a clown!
I was also objecting to you misrepresenting yourself as a "Retired Engineer". We have established that someone with the name you are using was once a registered engineer but now can no longer afford the registration fees every four years. Pehaps if you got a job and stopped living off of welfare or your relatives, you could afford to pay these fees.
Now we have established a few truths about you:
1. You have been posting under false names, even on your own blog.
2. You have filed many legal cases and have yet to have one not thrown out of court.
3. You know even less about evolution than you know about astronomy.
4. There is and Internet connection at the assylum.
Now what we really want to know is are you living off of the charity of your relatives or are we taxpayers paying to keep you babbling on the net?
It works at ISCID's brainstorms forum too which is why it isn't being offered as a link. There is no room for civility in any forum that will allow Spravid Dinger to post. He is incapable of it even at Uncommon Descent. He is one sick puppy. He even breaks his own promises. That is the hall mark of the hypocrit.
I love it so!
Davison, I haven't seen you misrepresent yourself as a full professor or emeritus lately.
How come? Did the University of Vermont send you a nastygram telling you to stop lying about yourself?
I have never represented myself as a full professor. I have only represented myself as Professor Emeritus of Biology you lying piece of shit. I retired from that dump at the rank of Associate Professor, a distinction of which I am very proud because it means that I never knuckled under to the Darwinian standards that still to this day characterizes the mindless dogma of the faculty there. UVM is a blight upon the face of academe and you are too Spravid Dinger. Whether you are Dinger or not matters not because you are both trash and you both are anonymous and you are both cowardly lying two-faced hypocrits. One of the prices that those who practice anonymity must pay is that they are what I say they are. Live with it. Enjoy it. Thanks for exposing yourself.

I am beginning to suspect the intelligent designer is actually JAD!
I love it so!
http://www.uvm.edu/~jdavison/evolution.html
This Rivista paper has you as "Professor of Biology" not
"Associate Professor Biology".
The title of your homepage at UVM is "Homepage of Professor John A. Davison" not Associate Professor.
Then there's this
Professor Davison, a biologist, proposed* an alternative, non-Darwinian, mechanism for certain evolutionary processes - a mechanism that differed from the NDT mechanism. His department held a meeting, from which he was excluded, following which his biology courses were taken from him, his salary was frozen, and he was subjected to various harrassing actions culminating, in 2000, with the University's decision to revoke his tenure. He resigned in the face of this threat.
If this is accurate you didn't retire. You quit before you were fired for cause. What say you now, liar?
I am happy to respond to this blatant falshood perpetrated no doubt by Spravid Dinger, the biggest two-faced liar in cyberspace.
First, it does not indicate the source of the statement in bold, a statement I never saw before and I don't believe was ever made. I certainly never got a copy.
Second, the real reason I retired when I did was because Jeff Gamble who was the Provost retired at the same time, December 1, 2000. He had just arranged for me to receive a check for $102,000 in partial compensation for the way I had been treated by the very administration in which he had served. I can assure you that if I had waited I would never have received that money or if I did it would have to be returned. Jeff left UVM to become the President of Montana State University where he still serves I believe. He is a decent man.
It is true that a rumor had been circulated from the Dean's office that I was to be detenured, a threat I certainly didn't take very seriously as such an action has never been undertaken. It is inconsistent with the very nature of university tenure. It certainly had absolutely nothing to do with my resignation. I wss 71 at the time and well past the usual retirement age anyway. Incidentally, that Dean is now dead and Judith Van Houten is no longer Chair of the Department of Biology much to the relief of its faculty I am sure.
So you see once more Spravid Dinger has resorted to blatant lies and invention in a vain attempt to discredit me and by so doing justify his vicious action in purging my papers from Uncommon Descent. He gave the real reasons as you may recall when he admitted that he did it "because I don't like you and want nothing to do with you." That is fully verfied.
This man is the bottom of the ethical and moral barrel and I am happy to have this opportunity to be able to expose him.
Thanks for making that possible.
I love it so!
John,
There is no need to explain. You have the same problem as I do. The world is against you.
I retired the same day that I was laid off. Unfortunately I don't have any pension at all. Fortunately my mother does and she is willing to support me.
That's it, Davison. Dig yourself a deeper hole. I love it so.
The quote in bold was written by this man
Arthur S. Lodge
Professor Emeritus
PhD, University of Oxford (1948)
Bingham Medal of The Society of Rheology (1971)
Gold Medal of the British Society of Rheology (1983)
Fellow, Inst. of Physics, UK
Member, National Academy of Engineering (1992)
He wrote it in an article he submitted in 2004 to the Wisconsin State Journal.
Are you calling Arthur Lodge a liar? I'll be happy to forward your accusation to him if he's still alive.
Dinger you poor fool. Arthur Lodge was criticizing the University not me. He was mistaken in only one matter which is that I resigned because of the threat that I might be detenured. His time constants were also off. It is true that my course was taken away from secretly and without my knowledge but that took place long before December 2000. As a result I enjoyed a very light teaching load for quite some time.
You are such a sick piece of garbage that you would go to any length to justify your two-faced history where I am concerned. You are the liar not I. If you visit his home page you will discover that he was very concerned about the way certain faculty members have been treated. I was one such example. I had a very nice correspondence with Lodge and he was very sympathetic to what had happened at UVM. You really suck and just proved it.
I repeat that you are the bottom of the barrel. This latest trick of yours is Sus springeriana at his very best.
Now crawl back to Uncommon Descent and explain to your colleagues there why you purged all my papers, papers that you had proudly placed there. I am sure they would be interested. I'm surprised they haven't asked you. Maybe they have. God knows they should. Maybe someone from here will do just that if they are still allowed to post there, that is if you haven't already banned them. That is all you ever could do. You stink.
I really have no words adequate to describe the depths to which you are willing to go to justify your heinous behavior. You are your own worst enemy.
I love it so!
> Anyone who reads this blog can easily see that I have enough variety of thoughts that I do not need to be unnecessarily repetitive. <
You seem to have only one thought. You believe that if you repeat it endlessly enough you will get it through. You don't understand a thing that anyone says to you so you pretend that they have not said anything.
This blog could be improved greatly if you were to read some of the posts before attempting to respond to them.
I invite everyone to visit the article by Arthur Lodge to which Spravid Dinger referred and see what Lodge really had to say. It was entirely critical of the University and entirely favorable to me.
You judge Dinger and his motives. I already have. He is homozygous trash.
What say you to that you phony?
I love it so!
Where did I say it wasn't criticizing the university you dipshit? All I pointed out was that you were about to have tenure revoked and you resigned before they could do it. In other words you told UVM "you can't fire me because I quit".
I'm going to point this comment thread out to Lodge and tell him you said he posted a lie about you. We'll see who's lying, you or him. How's that grab ya, fuckwad?
Spravid Dinger you cowardly swine.
You just do that and Lodge will see through it like shit through a goose. Lodge is a fine old man and I suppose you think you would be doing him a favor don't you? You are so far gone that it defies description. Frankly I think you are certifiable and I'll bet I am not alone.
I hope you do exactly what you threaten to do because that will be something you will be unable to reverse and will stand for all time as testimony to your insecurity, your viciousness, your arrogant selfishness and your unmatched hypocrisy. History judges us all you know and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. You have already set some records for insanity. Keep up the great work.
I never called Lodge a liar and you know it. I called you a liar for totally misrepresenting his feelings about me and the University. Now crawl back to the only forum that can stand you and explain to Wembski what a wonderful job you are doing for him by denigrating a real scientist, one whose papers you once proudly presented only obediently to purge them the moment Dembski ordered it.
Go cork up some more of that home made hootch you drink you cork soaker. You are probably half in the bag right now.
I love it so!
I'm curious, Davison.
Lodge wrote this on his website:
[Davison] was subjected to various harrassing actions culminating, in 2000, with the University's decision to revoke his tenure. He resigned in the face of this threat.
You said you talked to Lodge so a sane person would presume you told him that.
Why would Lodge write that if it isn't what you told him? Are you saying he's stupid and can't remember what you said to him and is just making shit up?
Tell us, whackjob, why did Lodge write that if it isn't true?
Davison the pussy threatens to expose people far and wide and make them sorry.
Yet when Davison gets a little exposure, like how UVM was about the revoke his tenure and fire him he resigned before they could do it.
Davison of course claims this was because he published some obscure anti-Darwinian evolution papers in the even more obscure Biologia di Rivista edited by creationist Guiseppe Sermonti.
Uh huh, right. Like UVM could justify revoking tenure over that.
What we all know is Davison is a loud, foul mouth caustic whackjob with paranoid delusions of grandeur his inability to control his big piehole is what UVM was justifiably about the revoke tenure over.
What say you, whackjob?
HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I bet Lodge had no fucking clue that Davison is a raving lunatic and that's the real reason UVM was about to take the almost unheard of action of revoking tenure. I bet his alcoholism had a little something to do with it too. Were you showing up for work drunk, Davison? Drunk, belligerent, and abusive. That's Davison alright.
Thanks a million Spravid baby. You are performing according to specs.
Lodge got his information right off my home page www.uvm.edu/~jdavison where he had read my piece -
"What it mean to be an antiDarwinian at the University of Vermont."
In private email I may have mentioned to him the threat of detenure. That of course is the best evidence imaginable of the posture of the UVM administration, an administration that no longer exists by the way as I have explained elsewhere.
Thanks for cross-posting to my blog where I copied it in case you decide, as you so often do, to delete your own garbage.
I think I will copy this little demonstration of your mental degeneration as well. Speaking of drinking, have another one you degenerate pig. It is you that has the alcohol problem not I. I am not allowed to drink. You obviously are.
I love it so!
Done
Now, children.
So you reckon Dave is a bit of an alcoholic as well as being a pervert and part-time psychopath, John.
The commenter who has been doing the most to mess up this blog is the asshole that is running it. He posts rubbish, replies without reading answering posts and then attacks those who have the temerity to disagree with him.
This asshole posts with names other than his own (a fact he has admitted too), he misrepresents his background and he carries on this crusade while living on the charity of others. It is a shame that he can't get a job but do we have to support him?

This last post demonstrates beyond any doubt that David Springer, aka Spravid Dinger, aka DaveScot, aka Sus springeriana is mentally disturbed to an extent that should require immediate treatment.
My limited exchange with Arthur Lodge was entirely cordial and I never called him a liar. Dinger has conjured up an entire fiction out of his warped imagination in one more vain attempt to discredit me whatever it takes.
Here are some facts. This creature after introducing my papers at Uncomon Descent and referring favorably to them for quite some time, suddenly and without explanation found it necessary to not only purge them from the archives but then to deprecate not only me but the papers as well.
Now these are not the actions of a rational mind. His history at Uncommon Descent where I am concerned is transparently irrational and can only be explained if one understands that this man has acted on behalf of his lord and master William Dembski, aka Dilliam Wembski, who to this very day has never recognized my existence, never mentioned my name and never cited my several papers all of which present powerful evidence for Intelligent Design, the very subject which is the core of the movement of which he is the self-appointed chief spokesperson.
There is only one reason this is the case. It is the same reason that the professional Darwinians have also pretended that I and my sources have not and still do not exist. It is summarized in that one word - FEAR. You see if we are recognized it becomes transparently obvious that both these armed camps are dead wrong.
Can anyone imagine that Intelligent Design must be teated as an "inference?" The answer to this is a resounding yes. Uncommon Descent is crawling with those that regard as an "inference" that which many others, including myself have always accepted as obvious.
My sin was to suggest that the ID people made a mistake by ever presenting ID as a subject for debate. That was all it took. Out I went for the second time incidentally. Wembski had already bamed me long before and it was Dinger who invited me back!
The ID cult is no better than the Darwinian cult, each trying to prove the other wrong, each led by egomaniacal self-appointed ideologues oblivious to a long history of real science that long ago made such matters no longer matters for conjecture but mandatory starting points for any understanding of either ontogeny or phylogeny. There was never a role for chance in any aspect of science and there never will be. Science is nothing but the discovery of what is there and always has been there. All of mathematics was always there just waiting to be discovered. The same can be said for every other aspect of scientific inquiry. Galileo knew this, Albert Einstein knew it, Godfrey Hardy knew it and I know it too. An Intelligent Design is no "inference" and never should have been presented as such. Chance never had anything to do with any aspect of the universe either.
These revelations provide the basis for a new hypothesis of organic evolution, The Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis, an hypothesis that has no place for chance and certainly doesn't regard Intelligent Design as an "inference."
Spravid Dinger can go right on exposing himself as the deranged slave of Dilliam Wembski and it will have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the reality that the universe and everything in it was planned from beginning to end.
This vicious lying, two-faced unprincipled minion of Dilliam Wembski has become my most potent ally and doesn't even realize it. With every new eruption he adds further support for me and my sources. Frankly, I hope he continues.
"A man in armor is his armor's slave."
Robert Browning
Dilliam Wembski is the man and Stravid Dinger is the armor just as Sir Dichard Rawkins is the armor for the biggest hoax in the history of science - neoDarwinism. Needless to say:

Don't like it? It has given me some of the best laughs of recent times. Of course I feel like I am torturing innocent animals.
Hey VoiceinWilderness,
Come back. We want to know the truth about this clown. You seem to know something you aren't telling us. He obviously doesn't know what he is.
If there is anyone within cybershot who can still post at Uncommon Descent, why don't you ask over there what happened to all my papers and why? If your question does not appear, which is what I predict, that should tell you something about Sus springeriana and his boss Dilliam Wembski don't you think? Don't take my word about these two lightweights. Find out for yourself. Any takers and if not why not?
I love well designed experiments like this because they always tell one something significant. All good experiments do.
I love it so!
This is for anteater, whoever the hell that is: Spravid Dinger perhaps?
I love this blog as it allowes me to expose my enemies as they voluntarily show their real selves, something they could never do at a monitored forum. Most of them come from forums that would never allow those cowardly tactics. Uncommon Descent and Panda's Thumb are perfect examples. Such mendacity and hypocricy is hard to find except at blogs like this. That is what Larry wanted and that is what he is getting. Isn't it revealing?
Maybe it is a good thing after all Larry.
I love it so!
Davison continues lying. No surprise there. After all, that's what liars do.
[snicker]
Anteater,
> You seem to know something you aren't telling us. <
I don't know anything except what is on the net. I just guessed at a few things and the idiot confessed. Obviously he is a derelict who can't get a job but is being supported either by some sort of {mental) disability payment or the charity of his family. I suspect the latter.
As for his legal background, just Google his name and you will find that a few years ago he brought comic relief to the courts with a series of lawsuits and motions having to do with the payment of a fee on auto licensing. Even those on his side found him to be an embarassment and his efforts counterproductive at best.
His record is unbroken. Everything he filed was laughed out of court immediately. The fee itself was dropped later due to the actions of others and Mr. Fafarman then started claiming credit. He was like a dog that thinks that he has just chased a train off of his property.
So far there is no evidence of him biting tires but that may come soon.
JAD : 'If there was ever a blog that needed a policeman it is this one. If Larry doesn't do it, who will?
Well, you can delete all your worthless posts for a start.
;-)
Davison has never got himself into a position where he had to lie. Spravid Dinger has done just that. He proves it every rime he posts another of his cowardly anonymous yellow bellied messages.
Only liars have to remain anonymous. I don't this creep has ever posted under his real name - David Springer. That is why every anonymous post comes from the biggest, most arrogant bully and congenital liar in all of cyberspace. So you see anonymity has its virtues after all. One can identify every anonymous poster with anyone he chooses. My choice is invariably Sus springeriana, the biggest and most perfectly documented two-faced piece of genetic garbage of all time.
I love it so!
JAD,
When you make so many repetitive off-topic posts that consist entirely or mostly of insults and ad hominem attacks, some people are just going to start ignoring your posts altogether, with the result that your posts might not be read even when you have something on-topic and worthwhile to say.
Also, JAD, I don't think that anything you say here is going to cause Dave Springer to change his mind about removing your links from Uncommon Descent. Bloggers are entitled to choose which links they post on their blogs. I have more reason to be pissed at Panda's Thumb than you have to be pissed at UD, but I rarely take a swipe at PT here (except for my post and comment thread on PT's censorship).
> some people are just going to start ignoring your posts altogether, with the result that your posts might not be read even when you have something on-topic and worthwhile to say. <
This sounds like projection, Larry. Start posting something meaningful and answer others with something other than personal attacks or people will soon tire of this blog. A joke can only be told a few times before it stops being funny. I know that you don'r really intend for anyone to take you seriously but the humor is getting stale. Why not try to turn this blog into something more interesting?
Larry
Thanks for the lecture on how to win friends and influence people. I am more interested in exposing my enemies and infuriating them. It gives me great pleasure to watch them lie in their teeth.
You are hilarious. How can an ad hominem post be made against a cowardly anonymous poster? Think about it. If you don't like what I have to say delete me but don't apply some kind of double standard on me when you allow every pig in cyberspace to shoot off his mouth and never say a word about it. That is pure hypocricy.
I have just about run out of patience with this blog anyway. It is not going anywhere. The only reason I came was because Stephen Elliot invited me and Sus springeriana has chosen this venue to lie about me. Both he and his lord and master Dilliam Wembski are afraid to even mention my name at UD just as Esley Welsberry and all his loyal Nazi troops are at PT. They are all nothing but intellectual flotsam and jetam wallowing around in their own excrement. It is glorious!
I don't expect my papers to be reinstated at UD and never did. What I have accomplished here and elsewhere is now obvious. The cowardly swine won't even explain why they have been purged. They can't without exposing themselves as first order intellectual garbage.
Hell Larry, I am as pleased as punch with the whole rotten scenario. Carry on with your grand experiment. You are certainly helping the PEH which is all I care about anyway.
I love it so!
With an as yet undetermined appendage Davison pecks: "I have just about run out of patience with this blog anyway."
How many times has the liar said this now? He won't leave. The lying piece of shit thrives on giving and receiving abuse. As he says with every comment "I love it so" Is it any wonder the University of Vermont took the extraordinary step of threatening detenure unless he resigned? Who ever heard of a university doing something like that except for gross incompetence? Tenure is supposed to be sacred. John A. Davison is mentally disturbed. Deeply disturbed. He needs professional help.
It is a well known fact that Davetard and Bill Dimski are lovers.
JAD is a brilliant creationist and Larry won't admit he believes the intelligent designer is Mr Potato Head.
One thing you have to ademit about creationism (aka intelligent design) it's a magnet for drama!
Long live Mr Potato Head!
Hey JAD what do you think about Dimski's "math"? ;-)
I love it so!
I can't comment on Dembski's math but plenty of others think it is bogus.
Incidentally, I am happy to confess to being a creationist but I am sure not so deranged as to believe in a personal God when there is absolutely neither any evidence for one nor any need for one in any aspect of scientific endeavor. There never has been.
Nevertheless I do believe that there was a purpose in evolution and that purpose was fulfilled with the production of Homo sapiens, as far as I know, the youngest mammalian species on this planet. I have yet to hear of a younger one and have asked many times. I also agree with both Robert Broom and Julian Huxley (of all people) that evolution is finished with not a new genus in two million years. I would add that I am unaware of a new true species appearing from known ancestors in historical times. All we observe is extinction and the trivial substitution of alleles none of which had anything to do with evolution anyway except to ensure ultimate extinction. Without guaranteed extinction there could never have been evolution. That is all that allelic mutants are good for. Just as ontogeny results exclusively from within the devoloping embryo, phylogeny emerged exclusively from within those forms capable of producing creatures distinctly different from themselves. Such creatures apparently no longer exist.
I agree with Einstein:
"The main source of the present-day conflicts between the spheres of religion and science lies in the concept of a personal God."
Like Einstein I am a convinced determinist.
So apparently was Grasse:
"Let us not invoke God in matters in which He NO LONGER HAS TO INTERVENE. The single absolute of creation was enough for Him."
Evolution of living organisms. page 166, his emphasis.
The Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis is purely deterministic and requires no intervention from any source. That is its great strength and I quite content with it.
I am not convinced there was a single God and I sure am not convinced there was a single act of creation, but that a God or Gods once existed cannot be denied by any rational mind. Of course Darwinians are not rational but then neither are Baptist theologians, philosophers, lawyers and prematurely retired, publicity seeking, clinically unstable, sociopathic Dell engineeers. I thought everybody knew that by now.
The primary reason people believe in a personal God is because they are scared to death of death. I am looking forward to it as relief from the insanity which this, like so many other blogs, so clearly demonstrates.
"The idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naive."
Albert Einstein
"I do not believe in the immortality of the individual,..."
ibid
That was 52 years ago and it is much worse now than it was then. Some people just never learn. I love watching the scripture quoting Fundies and the atheist Darwimps having at each other. It is hilarious since both camps are full of it right up to their eyeballs. I am very content having rejected both camps.
I love it so!
Davison bleats: "It would have been a first in the history of academe. While under extraordinary circumstances a professor can be sacked it is almost unthinkable that he could ever be detenured. If you knew anything about the tenure system you would know that you stupid ass."
Davison makes up his lies as he goes along. The foolish old luddite evidently doesn't know how to use an online encyclopedia. I suspect his entire life's work was the same story - make shit up and hope no one checks it.
Revocation of tenure
In the US, according to the Wall Street Journal (January 10, 2005), it is estimated that only 50 to 75 tenured professors (out of about 280,000) lose their tenure each year.
Who's the stupid ass now, little Johnny?
Here are some more lies from former UVM Associate Professor John Amerpohl Davison.
For reference
UVM Salaries 2001
UVM Salaries 2000
UVM Salaries 1995
Fact: Davison's name disappears from the payroll in 2001.
Fact: Emeritus professors are listed on the payroll.
Lie: Davison lies about being an emeritus professor. He lied to the Discovery Institute in signing the Dissent From Darwinism list. At the top of the second page he is listed as emeritus associate professor.
Fact: Davison and the professor that happens to appear right before him in alphabetical order, Wendy Sue Davis, both had their salaries frozen from 1995 through 2000.
Fact: Wendy Davis is a pediatrican professor in the UVM college of medicine and is not an anti-Darwinian.
Lie: Davison lies about having his salary was frozen at UVM from 1995-2000 because he was an anti-Darwinian.
Question: What is true reason of Davison's employment problems with UVM? Could it simply be that he's an underperforming raving abusive ass? You be the judge.
In any case, once again I have exposed Davison's lies.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
Fuck I'm good.
Toward the end of the following page can be found links to UVM's payroll for the years 1993 - 2005.

Spravid Dinger, once again using an alias. Cowards are like that.
Of course I do not exist at UVM. I did not teach there for 33 years either. Of course I am not an Emeritus Professor of Biology. Those are all lies perpetrated by me. Everyone knows that. It s true that my salary was frozen for years by UVM. Did I ever lie about that? Did I ever lie about my courses being taken away from me? I have always lied about my relationship with the great University of Vermont haven't I? I am a liar for one reason only - because the biggest phony in cyberspace says so. My history at UVM is an open book just as is my history at Uncommon Descent and every other forum where I have contributed my views. All that is required is to review it and draw your own conclusions.
All the rantings by Dinger will not alter the fact that at one time he regarded my work with esteem and said so. Now he finds it necessary to deprecate everything about me, my papers, my history in academe and my character. This is the same man who once claimed I had been "Davisoned," a term he proudly claimed to have coined, by the same administrtion he now praises as having given me my just rewards. This man once introducd me as his "good friend." This is hypocricy raised to unparalleled heights all on behalf of his lord and master Dilliam Wembski, all because I once questioned the wisdom of presenting Intelligent Design for debate. That is all that it took folks. Wembski, too cowardly to even acknowledge my existence, has had to unleash his specially groomed cur to destroy my character and that is what all this is really about. It is hard to believe isn't it?
Now these are not figments of my imagination and certainly not lies as they are matters of record. I will let others judge this man. I already have.
Once again Sus sprigeriana has exposed himself as the Jekyl/Hyde pawn of Dilliam Wembski that he has had to become. Anyone who has any knowledge of the relationship I have had with this creature knows who the liar is so I do not have to review it again. It is all there in my history at Uncommon Descent.
Don't stop now Dinger. Keep right on. You are my greatest ally.
I love it so!
More I say more you pig!
Davison's obviously suffering from raving paranoid delusions. In his delusion everyone is bent on destroying his character and his work while in fact everyone sees him as harmless and nutty - something you'd rather avoid as you avoid dogshit. PZ Myers said it best when he told Davison "Your stench precedes you".
Thanks for the interpretation Sus springeriana. Of course that is not the way you used to see it is it? Anyway, thanks for exposing yourself again. Keep it up. I just invited everyone from my blog to come over and observe your tactics first hand. I also asked Alan Fox to alert all your loyal fans over at the Bunker about your activities here. You need all the exposure I can give you. You are the best thing that ever happened to the Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis which is all that matters in the long run. You are precious. Keep in touch - Sus baby. Don't disappoint me.
I see you are now an admirer of P.Z. Meyers (M. P. Zeyers in my book) the most virulent, rabid Darwinian in cyberspace. That figures. Hypocrits are like that.
I love it so!

Davison: "I just invited everyone from my blog to come over and observe your tactics first hand."
All one of you?
[snicker]
Anonymous or Sus springeriana I presume.
Neither you nor I have any idea how many people visit my blog.
What is the matter with you? Have you run out of hate mail?
More, more I say! Bravo, Encore! Let's hear some more from the biggest hypocrit in the wonderful ephemeral meaningless world of cyberspace. This is your best chance at world fame. Don't let it go by.
SOOOOOEEEE!
That's hog call in case you don't recognize it.
I love it so!
I am having a very interesting dialogue over at ISCID's "brainstorms" forum. They have an open viewing, invited posting policy. Incidentally you will find many of my papers there, the same papers that Dinger purged in a fit of pique from Uncommon Descent without a word of explanation.
I would love to see Spravid Dinger participate there. That is if they would let him. How about it Spravid baby, wouldn't you just love to expose me over there? I'll be looking for you. Fat chance!
In any event, look in on it and actually learn something for a change.
I love it so!
Incidentally Spravid baby, speaking of ISCID's "brainstorms" forum, your lord and master, Dr. Dilliam Wembski introduced a paper there on March 19th with the title
"Information as a Measure of Variation." Guess what? It resulted in one response so it looks like he has lost some of his magic influence at ISCID doesn't it. How does that grab you you two-faced, lying, cowardly bully? Maybe you should look for a new master but who would ever have you?
Nevertheless, you are always welcome to spew your venom at my blog. I wouldn't delete you for the world. You are much too valuable.
I love it so!
You're mentally ill, Davison. Get some help.
Thanks for the tip about ISCID, Davison. I've been a member there for quite some time actually. I left a comment on the semi-meiosis thread. They mostly seem to be ignoring you there too even when your paper is the ostensible topic of discussion. That's just too funny.
Sus springeriana
Please return to "brainstorms" long enough to see my response and explain to all why you steadfastly refuse to return my papers to the side bar where you had so proudly placed them. As for ignoring my publications at "brainstorms," all I can say is you must be either blind or unable to count the pages of response. The two threads concerning my papers are at the top of the list. Your boss only got one response for the stupid paper he presented there. Can you imagine anyone so deranged as to try to prove Intelligent Design mathematically? For the life of me I can't.
Thanks for posting.
I love it so!
JohnADavison said...
If there is anyone within cybershot who can still post at Uncommon Descent, why don't you ask over there what happened to all my papers and why? If your question does not appear, which is what I predict, that should tell you something about Sus springeriana and his boss Dilliam Wembski don't you think? Don't take my word about these two lightweights. Find out for yourself. Any takers and if not why not?
And ruin an identity that might have taken months to cultivate? Are you kidding? You need to go out on a better note than that.
bwe
Who said I am going out?
You did. Big deal. You bore me to tears. Got that? Write that down.
I love it so!
Hmmm. Well, I'll try to liven things up a little for you then.
Go out means that you would not have the opportunity to use that defining email for a better use. Once you posted it, you'd have to work and work and work to get a new identity through the gates because that one would be flagged.
Flag you!
I recommend all visit ISCID's "brainstorms" forum to see the great David Springer at his very best. He has invaded the thread dedicated to the fundamental paper he has purged from Unconmon Descent and acted like the Lord High Inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition. Don't miss it. It s a hoot.
bwe
I'm glad you're having fun. I am too. It's a bloody shame Wesley has no sense of humor.
Davison,
What is your problem? First you invite/dare me to engage you at ISCID then when I do you cry foul and whine about it like a little girl. If you can't take the heat, little man, get out of the kitchen.
Sus springeriana
You may now declare victory. Since the management at "brainstorms" has allowed you to impugn my character and my honesty, I have abandoned the thread that you invaded. You may do with it what you choose. Good luck!
Thanks for posting. You are my strongest supporter and prove it with every post.
I love it so!
"Since the management at "brainstorms" has allowed you to impugn my character and my honesty"
You mean to say they allowed me to tell the truth, Davison.
Perhaps you recall writing this little gem on your blog
JohnADavison said...
Incidentally, I would like to know where else Spravid Dinger is holding forth as I intend to hound and expose him until he restores my papers at Uncommon Descent or of course until Uncommon Descent folds, whichever comes first.
In the meantime he is always welcome here.

Okay, here's more.
Why is your name absent from this list of UVM emeriti?
I'll tell you why. Because you're a fraud. And I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. But you know what they say
fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me
The shame is all yours.
I still want to hear your excuse for why you failed to test the semi-meiotic hypothesis. I find it "revealing" that you refuse to answer.
No, you never explained it.
Dear Sus springeriana, the biggest lying two-faced hypocrit in the history of cyberspace.
Have you forgotten who it was that proudly coined the term "Davisoned" to describe the way in which I had been treated by the University of Vermont? I have'nt and I'll bet others haven't either. Your cheap hypocricy knows no bounds because you are the personal slave and goon for Dilliam Wembski and that was your choice. You now get to live with it big time as you are doing right now at "brainstorms" where you are displaying the real Spravid Dinger to my glorious appreciation and undyimg gratitude.
Don't stop you low life trash bag because naturally:
I love it so!
Notice Davison *still* avoids answering the question of what it takes to acquire amphibians known to be heterozygous for one or more chromosome reorganizations.
What are you hiding, Johhny?
Sus springeriana
I have dealt with you and your stinking motives over at "brainstorms" and I invite everyone to visit that forum to see the lengths to which you will go to discredit not only me but my sources, some of thre finest minds of two centuries. You are disclosing the real David Springer for all to see and appreciate. Don't miss it folks. It is more than I could ever hope for.
I love it so!
And he STILL avoids the question.
Why, Johnny, why?
What is so hard about acquiring amphibians known to be heterozygous for one or more chromosome reorganizations that in 16 years you couldn't do it in order to test the most significant hypothesis in biology since Mendelian genetics and natural selection?
Why won't you answer?
And he STILL avoids the question.

I have warned you at my blog of what you may expect at "brainstorms" if you continue your attack on my integrity and honesty. I recommend that you and others read what I have to say to the biggest piece of genetic garbage that ever trod the sod. Go try to traumatize someone else you bullying coward and use your right name for a change - Sus springeriana - the biggest hog in cyberspace.
I love it so!
Uneducated prick?
ROFLMAO!
The greater the education the more likely a person is to believe in the biggest hoax in the history of science, dopey.
The only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from that is that too much education causes mental retardation. Maybe it's a case of trying to stuff 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound jar - it's bound to rupture the container.
So what's your excuse for not falling for it when almost all your PhD peers do, dummy?
Sus springeriana, aka DaveScot, aka Spravid Dinger aka his real name, David Springer which he never uses because he is a chicken shit coward.
What is it I haven't accepted, Darwimpian Mysticism or Protestant Fundyism? You know damn well I don't accept either one you two-faced, lying, deceiving, hypocrit.
Okay big bad scary Marine Corps Sergeant. You present your view of the mechanism of organic evolution. You already had one chance at my old blog where you kept your cowardly mouth shut. I am giving you a second chance right here at Larry's flame pit. Or if you prefer do it over at "brainstorms." What a joke you really are. You are nothing but a one man goon squad for Dilliam Wembski. You are both scared to death to even mention my name at your home base, just as Esley Welsberry is at Panda's Thumb and for the same reason. It is called FEAR and you know it. Prove I am wrong you pathetic bully. Let's hear the name of Davison at either one of those intellectual piss holes. You are as bad as Falan Ox. It is only at a flame pit like this that either of you are even willing to say anything and it is all lying bullshit anyway. You are the biggest joke in cyberspace and I love being able to expose you as just that. It is glorious!
Let's hear all about Spravid Dinger's version of the mechanism of organic evolution either here or anywhere else for that matter. Fat chance.
Put up or shut up asshole. I'll leave a light on for you, you flaming feckless fart.
I love it so!
Davison, you're a case to study in Paranoid Syndrome. Prove me wrong.
Once viewed as rare so as not to warrant a separate
classification, in recent years paranoid disorder has
emerged as a focus of clinical research and treatment
innovation. Growing literature has revitalized the efforts
to understand, define, characterize and treat this disorder.
However despite these advances, clinicians are relatively
ill-informed about this disorder and many may have only
seen an occasional case. This is so as persons with this disorder
don’t regard themselves as mentally ill and actively
oppose psychiatric referral, experience little impairment and
in the infrequent psychiatric encounter may get labeled with
schizophrenia or mood disorder (Manschrek, 2000).
Coined by the ancient Greek the word
paranoia meant ‘besides’ and ‘self’ (Mind). Heinroth (1818)
used ‘Verrücktheit’ and paranoia synonymously, to describe a condition characterized by ‘unfreedom (meaning mental
disorder) of spirit with exaltation of the faculty of thoughts,
perversion of concepts, but undisturbed perception (thus
primarily cognition, and not perception, was affected)’. He
believed certain persons to be predisposed to develop paranoia:
vain, eccentric, brooding people who aspired to the
highest and lowest; with or without external cause, when
their perverse conduct and vain efforts lead them to a point
of great strain and in an utter perplexity, whose outbreaks of
restlessness and perversity affect their entire behaviour,
which carried the unmistakable traces of its origin. He also
divided paranoia into ‘simplex’ and ‘catholoca’. In modern
psychiatry the term ‘paranoia’ was first used by Kalhbaum
(1863) to designate those in whom the symptom manifested
primarily in intelligence. He divided paranoia into 3 content
types: ascensa (subject claims to be something other than
what he is), descensa (the subject imagines, for example, to
be possessed or be a devil) and Immota (with oversensitivity
to stimuli and hallucinations). Krafft-Ebing (1869) considered
paranoia mainly as delusions based on an underlying
cognitive disorder and being independent of any affective
foundation.
Kraepelinian era. Kraepelin’s concept and definition of paranoia
changed with each edition of his manual. In his last
manual he wrote that paranoia should be confined to thematically
and logically consistent delusions, prophetic delusions,
delusions of grandeur, and so on, but most of all persecutory
delusions, which he traced back primarily to a psychopathic
disposition. He differentiated paranoid disorders
from dementia praecox in that patients with paranoia had no
disturbance of the form of thought as opposed to the delusional
content, and the main defect was in the judgement.
The personality was well preserved, even though the illness
might last several decades and the only behavioural changes
were those related to the delusional beliefs. He described
subcategories: paranoia, paraphrenia, and dementia paranoides.
Paraphrenia developed later than dementia praecox,
was milder than dementia praecox, was similar to paranoid
schizophrenia - with fantastic delusions and hallucinations,
but with less thought disorder, better preservation of affect,
less personality detoriation and little loss of volition. Dementia
paranoides had earlier onset, initially resembled paranoia
but showed a deteriorating course, because of which it was
considered as a form of dementia praecox that arose from
disorder of thought, cognition and emotion. Mayer (1921)
followed up Kraepelin’s cases of paraphrenia and challenged
the validity of this category because a majority of the patients
had an outcome similar to that of dementia praecox. Karl
Kolle (1931) followed up Kraepelin’s cases of paranoia and
suggested it overlapped with dementia praecox. In his revision
of Paranoia, Kruger (1917) described paranoia as ‘erection
of a system of delusions of persecution and grandeur,
which is constructed and developed logically, does not go
outside the realms of possibility, does not alter the subjects
personality apart from a narrowing of his sphere of interest
which may diminish his psychological adaptability, and finally
does not affect the subjects perception in areas which
are not important to the delusion system and the illness is
notably chronic’.
Bleuler (1920) took up Kruger’s description of paranoia and
emphasized purely psychogenic basis for paranoia in contrast
to schizophrenia. Describing paranoia as a ‘psychopathic
reaction’ or ‘situational psychosis’ he broadened the definition
to include cases with hallucinations, a paranoid form of
dementia praecox (he renamed it schizophrenia) and an
intermediate group; he believed paranoia described by Kraepelin
so rare as not to warrant a separate classification and
advocated careful exploration of schizophrenic symptoms in
these cases. He also emphasized the occurrence of paranoid
symptoms in other conditions. Kretschmer (1921) talked
about paranoid personalities characterized by depressive,
pessimistic and narcissistic traits, which develop paranoid
features acutely when key or precipitating experiences occurred.
He also emphasized that paranoia had a favorable
prognosis. Schneider (1949) described paranoia as a peripheral
type of schizophrenic psychosis.
Henderson and Gillespie (1944) described the ‘paranoid
spectrum’ concept that included paranoia and paranoid
schizophrenia linked by an intermediate paraphrenia. In this
spectrum ‘Cluster A’ personality disorders of DSM-IV
(APA, 1994) are linked but lie outside it, because some studies
suggest that if an individual with one of these becomes
psychotic the resulting illness will be one of those on the
spectrum. Paranoid schizophrenia is included within the
spectrum because it has features in common with paranoia,
but other forms of schizophrenia remain outside. Possibly
10% of patients with paranoia or paraphrenia will detoriate
to schizophrenia, some older patients to dementia, but the
remainder remain diagnostically stable. Thereafter, the ‘paranoid
psychoses’ did not figure in active research due to the
supposed rarity of its occurrence and the lack of clarity of its
concept.
George Winokur (1977) and Kendler (1980, 1981a, 1981b)
provided the impetus for the resurgence of interest in the
paranoid psychoses. Winokur renamed this illness as delusional
disorder (DD). Kendler (1980) elaborated Winokur’s
criteria and suggested a division into simple delusional disorder
(without hallucinations) and hallucinatory delusional
disorder – a distinction currently regarded as redundant.
Paranoid Concept
The term persecutory delusions may be used to label ordinary
suspiciousness or ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’ grandiose,
litigious, hostile and jealous behaviours. To reduce the confusion
Manschreck (1996, 2000) took the 5-point approach.
1. ‘Paranoid’ is a clinical construct used to interpret observations,
and to apply this construct effectively the clinician
must know it’s meaning and be able to make accurate observations
of paranoid behaviour. 2. ‘Paranoid’ means the clinician
has judged that the person’s behaviour is psychopathological;
the judgment based on the person either being disturbed
or disturbing others. 3. Even if clinically ‘central’, the
paranoid features are not necessarily associated with schizophrenia
and can appear in other psychiatric and medical
conditions and thus may indicate psychopathology, but with
no specific cause or outcome. 4. The ‘paranoid’ labeling is based on features that are either subjective (private mental
experience of the patient) or objective (observation of manifest
behaviour). The subjective features include delusions of
reference, persecution, grandeur, infidelity, supernatural,
love, jealously and imposture, and ideas of reference or
strongly held ideas. The objective features include suspiciousness,
sensitivity, sullenness, hate, irritability, quick annoyance,
critical or accusatory behaviour, self-righteousness,
litigiousness, grandiosity or excessive self-importance, violence,
aggressiveness and obstinacy. As a group these subjective
and objective features are difficult to define operationally,
limiting the precision of the paranoid concept. Also,
some of these can be manifestations of entirely normal behaviour.
The judgment that such behaviours are paranoid
rests on their extremeness and inappropriateness, their presence
in combination or association with other behaviours in
the list, or the presence of delusions. Finally, paranoid delusions
traditionally have referred to a wide variety of delusions,
not simply those of grandeur, persecution, or jealousy.
Munro provided many clinical descriptions of DD. He
pointed out the unique and striking features of DD in the
way in which the patient could move between delusional and
normal modes of thought and behaviour. In the former
(delusional mode), the individual was over alerted, preoccupied
with the delusional ideas, and gave a sense of being
remorselessly driven, while the normal mode was associated
with relatively calm mood, reasonable range of affect, neutral
conversation with an ability to be engaged in everyday topics,
and some capacity for pursuit of normal activities (Munro, 1992).
Prof. John Davison, I truly admire the zest with which you fillet DaveScot. I am glad we have people like you here to euthanize rabid pitbulls. DaveScot is a quasi-intellectual coward without one shred of honor or decency. His status as an ex-marine is dubious, at best, and his glorious career with Dell has been shown to be far from "glorious". Keep up the good fight, Professor. I will gladly help you out with some information you may not have heard about DaveScot. Just email me.
Thank you jeremy. I will be happy to recieve your email. Nothing would surprise me.
john take a gander at uncommon descent before your next rant
Prof. John Davison, I would rather discuss this information with you face to face. I live near you and will drop by your apartment next week sometime. I have to go now so until then best wishes and keep up the good fight! Jeremy Wischnewski
is this you, bra?
i have some information Covenant Healthcare Systems might be interested in - anyone here know anyone there?
you use lots of different names, doncha bra?
well hello jesse
is sarah an anesthesiologist too?
oops, sorry
that would be sara not sarah
did josh follow the family tradition and enter medical school?
David Springer, aka Spravid Dinger
Thanks for calling my blog to the attention of the Fundies, people you actually despise you flaming hypocrit. Any publicity is good publicity. Besides I am cerain many of the more rational of the Uncommon Descent crowd will find much there with which they can agree. But of course they wouldn't dare say so for fear of being banned, what with you being the banningest, bullshitting blogczar in all of blogdom. Thanks again and don't stop. This is getting interesting, asshole. More, more, encore I say.
I love it so!
Well thank you. I hope everyone will read the responses to Springer's bold move. I find them rather flattering on balance. Sorry that didn't work out exactly the way you expected David baby. Keep up the great work. More, more, encore I implore!
I love it so!
my interest in you, jujubee? i just wanted to level the playing field - i have no interest in you if you have no interest in me - the ball is now in your court - i suggest you call it a draw and find a different marine to fuck with
Isn't he as charming bully though?
I love it so!
Is anyone except myself using his real name? Sus springeriana sure isn't.
Wembski is not going to like that thread about me Spravid. You are a naughty, naughty boy!
The funny thing is, John, you're in such a state of denial it doesn't cross your mind that virtually everyone reading your blog comes away thinking you're a mentally disturbed person with obsessive compulsive disorder and paranoid delusions. And there's no reason they shouldn't because that's an accurate assessment as far as I can tell.

Things worked out wonderfully at Dell. My goal in life was to earn enough money to never have to work again by age 35. Dell made that possible at age 43. Close enough. Thanks Michael. For the last 6 years I've just been puttering around improving some unimproved waterfront acreage I bought, boating, being home for my kids, etc. As John Medica, the VP in charge of laptops at Dell used to say, "life is good".
Davison, you can find my drivel inside the computer you barely know how to turn on as several of my unpatented inventions from the 80's are still in use today in every personal computer on the planet. You may also find some of my later work on file with the U.S. Patent Office. And I was paid orders of magnitude more than you were for my work. Any more embarrassing questions you'd like to ask? Of course there must be. Those are the only kind you know how to ask.
hey jujubee, want me to start publishing all the online dating services you registered with along with your sexual preferences and real name so it follows you around the rest of your life anytime someone googles your name? people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
jujubee, i was especially entertained that your white ass is searching for black girlfriends on the internet under an anonymous name. what's up with that, can't find any black chicks close to home to date? or is it you're more worried about having to tell rich mommy and daddy "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" if it's a local hookup?
do tell
Carry on Sus springeriana, the biggest, most two-faced, lying degenerate, intellectual and ethical coward that ever existed.
Your record speaks volumes. I see no reason to pay any more attention to you than an elephant does to fleas. Why you are such a phony that you are afraid to use your own name at the same time you accuse others of the same cowardice. My knowledge or lack of same about a computer has no bearing whatsoever on my integrity as a scientist.
Now do yourself and your family any further embarrassment and shut your totally insincere trap up about matters that have nothing to do with the search for the truth. That is all I have ever been interested in and all I ever will be interested in, something you are totally unable to understand. You are the quintessential pathological asshole.
If you had any integrity at all you would never require an alias. I don't believe you have ever posted under your real name. That is good enough for me. You are yellow!
Accordingly, right or wrong, any comment from an anonymous source came from David Springer. You are pathetic.
I love it so!
nosivad???
practice what you preach you insufferable prick
I would if you and Reverend Wembski hadn't banned me from Uncommon Descent and purged all of my papers that you had proudly placed there. What a two-faced lying hypocrit you really are. Your record is crystal clear and a mile long. Touch yourself until you stain yourself.
I love it so!
"Touch yourself until you stain yourself."
That's exactly the kind of talk that got you banned on Uncommon Descent.
Dembski had nothing to do with it, by the way. I made the rule there will be no cussing on UD and I enforce it. Me. No one else. The conviction that Dembski had anything to do with you is a delusion of grandeur. In reality you're beneath Dembski's notice. He's got too much class to get down in the mud with pigs like you. But I don't...
Dembski has no class at all or he would have never chosen you protect him and you just proved it and admitted it. Thanks a million asshole. You filter every post at UD. Not satisfied to delete one you or Wembski might not like, you not only had to ban me for life, but then you, with Wembski's full approval I am certain, found it necessary to purge my published papers forever and to this day don't have the common decency to explain exactly why you found that necessary. The only explanation you ever offered was as follows:
"I don't like you and I want nothing to do with you."
I guess that is all that is necessary at Uncommon Descent. Is it any wonder I have no respect for Dilliam Wembski. I have a little bit more for Esley Welsberry. He allowed me to post a lot longer than Wembski ever did and he only banned me once. Wembski banned me twice and don't try to tell me otherwise because I know better.
The forum owner is responsible for what transpires on his internet property. Creeps like you are but their chosen minions. The fact that he keeps the biggest phony in cyberspace around to do his dirty work for him is an indictment of his character or rather lack of it. My God the poor sap is still trying to prove Intelligent Design mathematically! I gave him Intelligent Design on a platter and the slob has still never mentioned my name either in hard copy or in the ephemeral, meaningless world of cyberspace. He is a coward and an egomaniacal lightweight. Ye Gods he is still holding forth about Bible Codes. As near as I can tell he doesn't believe man is an animal. His major hero, Jillip Phonson sure doesn't. Wembski edited and contributed to a Festchrift honoring a flaming Fundamentalist who doesn't believe in evolution in any form. What will Wembski come up with next? I can't wait to see.
Secretly, of course, you have no respect for the man but you are stuck with him because no one else in the world will ever have anything to do with you again. He knows that too which is why he keeps you just for himself. If Wembski had any integrity at all he would never have gotten mixed up with the likes of you, the biggest lying two-faced hypocrit in internet history. You two deserve each other.
It is hard to believe isn't it?
I love it so!
This is for Spravid Dinger, aka Sus springeriana, the biggest bully that ever posted a message.
How can anyone curse on Uncommon Descent when you filter everything that appears there? Produce a statement where I cursed you lying pile of garbage. You run that blog with an iron fist with the full approval and full encouragement of Dilliam Wembski. You are both trash in my book and always will be. Even Esley Welsberry allows someone to say something he doesn't like as long as they understand they may get banned for it. Falan Ox has admitted as much. Welsberry wouldn't dream of interjecting his bold faced arrogantly condescending comments in the middle of someone elses message as you do all the time. You are just like a heckler at a lecture, useless as teats on a boar and just as obnoxious. You make me sick you arrogant psycopathic slime bag.
What say others about this miserable excuse for a human being? Surely I'm not the only one to have his number. Don't be shy. Thanks to Larry this is the perfect blog for it.
I love it so!
Davison, you're beneath Dembski's notice. It's just that simple. Claims to the contrary are just more of your delusions. Everyone can see it except you.
Sus springeriana
Of course i am beneath Wembski's notice. So is every other real scientist living or dead. He is preaching to a bunch of Bible waving Baptist mystics just like himself. He even has to announce his own shameful lecture schedule to make sure someone shows up. He is a snake oil salesman of the same genre as Dichard Rawkins across the pond. Neither is a scientist by any stretch of the imagination. Each has generated his own cadre of idol worshipping morons. Each is promoting his own version of a subject about which neither has the foggiest clue. They are caricatures of themselves and not a real scientist in the world has ever referred to either of them in a professional scientific publication. They know better than to align themselves with fringe lunatics which is more that I can say for you, you poor sap. You don't believe a thing that Wembski stands for and you know it. Ye Gods think about it. Bible Codes yet? Editing and contributing to Festschrifts honoring Jillip Phonson who doesn't believe in evolution in any form? The man is an ideological disaster exactly like "Sir" Dichard Rawkins across the pond. Both live in a self-generated, egocentric fantasy oblivious to the real scientific world which will never have anything to do with either one of them. They are but pimples on the road of progress which continues to point toward a completely prescribed evolutionary scenario exactly as I have proposed and published. Like all my sources I do not exist in the minds of either the Darwinan mystics led by lightweights like "Sir" Dichard Rawkins or the Bible wavers led by Dilliam Wembski. Both factions are up to it to their eyeballs and I will continue to make the necessary waves.
Now crawl back to Uncommon Descent and exercise your bold print, condescending, arrogant, Marine Corp muscle against anyone who dares challenge anything you or your master happens not to like.
You sought out and found Wembski and he loves having you divert all attention from himself and his purposes. You deserve each other.

At seventy-eight next month I have come to really appreciate this little gem from Thomas Henry Huxley:
"Of the few innocent pleasures left to men past middle life - the jamming common sense down the throats of fools is perhaps the keenest."
Thanks for posting and continuing to expose yourself as the homozygous, "prescribed," two-faced, lying hypocrit you have always been and always will be.
I love it so!
You should go see a real doctor, doctor, and ask for some help.
Did you read this? Pay attention to it.

David Springer, aka Spravid Dinger, aka Sus springeriana, the biggest bully on the internet.
I hadn't but thanks for calling my attention to it. It is what can be expected from good old M.P.Zeyers, the most rabid Darwinian in cyberspace. I hope all will follow his suggestions and visit both my blogs where they can learn some real evolutionary science. Any publicity is good publicity don't you know.
What is hilarious about this is that you had to trot out one of your own mortal enemies to try to denigrate me. That is typical of your two-faced tactics. You are both intellectual and ethical garbage and you just proved it beyond any doubt.
Of course I cannot respond to either you or M.P. Zeyers because both if you cowardly swine have banned me from your blogs. Hypocrits are like that.
You are the unwiped ass of the universe so of course:
I love it so!
Thanks for posting.
Davison, if you don't get some help for that delusional disorder you aren't going to be able to wipe your own ass much longer. Your mental instability already got you tossed out on your ear from the University of Vermont where you'd taught for over 30 years. Instead of being a respected Emiritus Professor with access to students, a lab, a salary, instead you've let this untreated personality disorder cause you to become nothing more than laughing stock on internet message boards. Get yourself mended and go out with some dignity fercrisakes. This is just pitiful.
Hey Sus,
You go visit my blog where I just exposed you as the biggest self deleter in the history of cyberspace. You're so crooked you can't even let your own comments stand including at your own precious Uncommon Descent.
Keep sounding off asshole. More more, encore, I implore.
You are the laughingstock of the internet. You prove it every time you open your deuterostome.
Thanks for exposing yourself again. We'll have to start calling you "The Flasher."
I love it so!
There is one thing even more cowardly and hypocritical than posting with an alias. Do you know what that is? I'll tell what it is. It is, having posted under an alias, then subsequently deleting your own post. I just proved on my blog, beyond any doubt, that Spravid Dinger, aka Sus springeriana, the pig from Texas, is the world's champion in that exclusive category. I hope you are listening you degenerate heap of ethical and moral garbage. You are well beneath the bottom of the internet barrel in a class all by yourself.
I love it so!
Get some professional help for the paranoid syndrome, Davison. Maybe you can even reconcile with your children if you aren't acting crazy.
This last bit of horseshit is typical Stravid Dinger. He knows absolutely nothing of my relationship with my children or my grandchildren or any other aspect of my personal life. With each new personal attack he digs his grave and Wembski's deeper and deeper as I preserve every one of his rabid pathological utterances for future use. All may trust me on that promise and it will be in hard copy.
I hope you are listening Dilliam Wembski. Your faithful cur is performing up to specs as he continues to represent the owner of Uncommon Descent wherever and whenever he opens his abusive two-faced lying mouth. Aren't you proud of him? Isn't he classy? Doesn't he represent the very best in internet communication? Isn't it about time that you dropped him like a used condom? Think about it Wembski. Personally I hope you don't as birds of a feather flock together. They always have and always will. They can also go to hell together and will if it is within my power.
More, more, I implore of Wembki's personally appointed whore!
I love it so!
> Is anyone except myself using his real name? <
I sm.
Come on back Dinger. Expose your stinking self some more for posterity. I am not half through with you yet, any more than I am with your boss Dilliam Wembski, Dichard Rawkins, Esley Welsberry, M.P. Zeyers, Pott L. Scage and Falan Ox among other intellectual criminals too numerous to mention. You are all nothing but sitting ducks for a real scientist like myself who is having the time of his lfe exposing you all. Set them up in the other alley. I'm bowling a perfect game.
I hope you are listening Dilliam baby because you are going to get yours too. Trust me. For you to allow your proudly appointed one man goon squad to contaminate every blog on the internet with his vicious venom is an indictment of you and you alone. Got that? Write that down. You two deserve each other.
I love it so!
Davison, I guess you've forgotten that you described to me (in email) in detail your relationships with your children and ex-wives. Of course you may have lied to me in the email. Or you may be lying now. Either way, you're a liar. People with memories as bad as yours should either tell the truth or keep their lying mouths shut. Write that down, preferably on the back of your lying hands in indelible ink so you don't forget it when you're tempted to peck out more lies.
My personal life has no place on any blog and you know it. I recommend you continue with your gutter tactics as they define your character better than anything I could possible say. I will remind you that long before you invited me back to Uncommon Descent you indicated in an email to me that you planned to "piss on my grave." Subsequently you introduced me to the UD crowd as "my good friend," placed all my papers on the side board only to subsequently purge them all the moment that Wembski silently nodded. Your record speaks for itself Sus and anyone who has ever followed it knows it too. You are the biggest two-faced, opportunistic, lying phony that ever posted a message anywhere in cyberdom. Don't stop now. You are my best ally.
I hope you are listening to your hand picked blog czar Reverend Wembski. Isn't he precious? He is your responsibiliy and no one elses. The pair of you deserve each other.
I love it so!
The first time Dembski ever mentioned you was when he forwarded me the email you sent to Discovery.
You're a habitual liar, Davidson. I've never run into someone who lies as continuously and without restraint or regret as you.
Of course he never mentioned me before. He is scared stoolless of me just like Esley Welsberry and Dichard Rawkins are. The only reason you aren't is because you are too stupid to recognize a real scientist when you see one.
The last time I lied I was about ten years old you sorry pile of shit and I have never found it necessary to lie ever in my professional life or in my dealings with Texas trash like you. It is you who lies constantly even to yourself. Why else would you find it necessary to delete your own posts? Let's hear the answer to that one Sus spingeriana. Don't be shy. Speak up. You are pathetic.
I love it so!
This thread is about to disappear into the sunset which is what is wrong with this entire cowardly system. Out of sight, out of mind. I like my system much better and also the system that is in play over at Esley Welsberry's inner sanctum "After the Bar Closes."
Also is there any way to tell here when a post has been deleted and if so by whom?
Hey folks
Check put Spravid Dinger's latest thread on the ACLU. It seems that he is getting his wrist slapped by some of the troops who don't like seeing ID mixed with politics. That is about all he is good for these days and it isn't going over every well is it? Keep at it Sus. You are my best ally. I also just love the way you interject your arrogant snotty pronunciamentos in bold font. You're just like a half assed heckler at a lecture.What a moron you really are.
Naturally -
I love it so!
I alwys thought the snottty little, intrusive, arrogant, bold font Fascist was in te Navy. What a loser. He and Wembski make the perfect pair. Naturally -
I love it so!
