William Chambers: It has been apparent from the start that, in your opinion, anyone who disagrees with you is a fraud. That's fine. You may consider me whatever you want. But the name calling does not further your cause and will serve to dissuade many from participating in the list. Does that advance the cause of truth?

I really do not trust these people after the way they have behaved. And they are showing every indication of the psychopathic behavior of people with Oedipal strivings. I have been compared with villians from James Bond movies, my posts have been described as bullshit and I am continuously confronted with posts that are contrived to mislead people. You have apparently said nothing. I signed onto the newslist in order to alert people to the fact that I had an article requested, accepted and rejected by the journal SEM in a most unethical manner. The same people who are complaining to you accused me of lying about that but have consistently refused to check the evidence. You are allowing a hand ful of people to abuse me without seeing that others also criticize the same people. You can join the people on semnet and censor a legitimate statistical procedure that has revolutionary implications. But you will not intimidate me or force me to allow incompetent and dishonest delinquents to run science. I have tried every strategy I can. I will be polite with them for days and they will continue to abuse. I will simply state the numbers and equations and they abuse. I will quote prominent philosophers and mathematicians and they abuse. Why have you not put a stop to their behavior? Has a single person expressed concern about the fraudlent behavior of the editors of SEM to you? Do you care about the truth?
