    Re: The "Hoser review" of the genus Thamnophis...

    Okay...well, I'm talking about the guy in this thread. I actually don't hate anyone...hate is a strong word. But this whole changing the scientific names thing is ridiculous and I don't believe in indulging delusional narcissists.

    She's definitely less crazy than this hoser guy. I think he should go to a crazy camp... Preferably at an asylum.

    Dear all, if ability to make "noise" counts, then I have lost the argument.

    I suggest you start answering the questions and criticisms. This is not your personal soapbox, this is not your personal blog, this is not your personal journal. This is a forum, not a place for monologues or soliloquies, but for interaction.

    It's also not a place to deposit your scribblings. If you're going to pop in once a month to market your little pamphlet and then basically just run away, I'm going to start treating it as spamming.

    Can't he see that our main problem with all this is that he isn't presenting the evidence that his 'journal' promises[which has been stated to him numerous times] yet he still feels we have the burden of proof.
    If you aren't going to answer our questions why come hear?

    The evidence that Thamnophis is paraphyletic is in one of the articles he cites, but his actions are silly and premature. He's done no research and he's not a scientist, so it's pointless to argue over the science with him. He probably just doesn't understand it. What is open for criticism, is his own actions (from jumping the gun, to splitting the clade, to the details of the names), his professionalism and his motives.

    His actions are that of a parasite on the scientists who have actually done some primary research. By "publishing" a literature review that references everyone else's work and draws conclusions that are not expanded or supported in his own writing, he is taking a shotgun approach. Afterall, with the pure volume of articles Hoser has published at least a few of the reclassifications must be correct, and he's been clever enough not to be too specific, so it would be difficult to say in the future that he was correct in his conclusion but for completely wrong reasons.

    I think it's time that we put this topic to bed. Hoser isn't going to explain why he's reclassified Thamnophis, the best we can hope for is him posting another picture of his reclassification and him repeating that "nobody has disproved it". It's a "flying spaghetti monster", we don't have to disprove it.

    You should have banned him for advertising his book in the first place. I don't know about you guys, but I consider that to be spam.
