Also, Thomas's wife should be ashamed for asking for an apology in the first place.
Why not? I have been posting on forums on the internet for 15 years and this is the first time anyone has asked me not to do this. If the article is too long, I usually only quote relevant parts and post the link. If the article is only about a page long, I always post it in its entirety with the link and usually cite the author. Why is this a problem? It hasn't been so far? And why bring it up in this thread, since I believe I only posted the link and a comment?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
