This link shows the latest betwen Dean & I. As with my discussion w you, I’ve always been civil w Esmay, yet he has not returned same, and in the middle of a convo that was not even w him he banned me. This is the essential diff and why blogs have a long way to go b4 credibility can be established. When hemmed in and unable to respond intelligently, the blogger acts like a child. I’m sure this had more to do w our debate, because Dean didn’t wanna show his true colors on another’s blog, but it’s sad nonetheless. Good luck w yr blog.

Good thing I didn't, lest I be blamed for whatever ills he resulted. DAN PS- I can only imagine what he’d do if I had taken him on in the AIDS/HIV nonsense!

I've attempted numerous times to get my rebuttals to pro-outsourcing groups in the media, but have been unsuccessful. My book against it was turned down by 35 agents and publishers. Several articles have been turned down by numerous newspapers and magazines. While I have received several interviews with various journalists, I have never EVER had my own op-ed piece on the subject published by the MSM, while my nemesis, Harris Miller at www.itaa.com can write several for Washington Post, New York Times and other pubs. My greatest success has been at www.itpaa.org where I can present my views and arguments to my heart's content. The Razor is used for everything else. So Dean may have pulled the plug on you, but your comments remain. Mine have never seen the light of day in the MSM press. That's the difference between bloggers like Dean and the MSM. We at least consider and showcase other opinions; the MSM does not yet considers itself "unbiased". Dean is biased. I am biased. The NYT is too. You are biased as well - calling Duesberg's anti-HIV hypothesis "nonsense" without learning about it. I'm open minded about it and am reading his book as the start of my own investigation into the issue. It's a long journey, but no one ever said finding the Truth was going to be easy. Dan

Writing is a fraternity based on anything but quality, and I'd assume political writing is too. The people today who look back and sneer at the Impressionists or Whitman ignore their own today. I tell my wife, when frustrated, that in 50 years, when our poetry is 'mainstreamed' the critics of the day will wonder of the Sharon Oldses and other bad poets' crap, when there was a Schneider around, meanwhile, my equivalent then will be ignored by those who praise me and damn my current peers. The diff you cite, though, is a diff in the very media, not its purveyors, as the Salons and Atlantics and others have interactive sites for their end in that medium. It's more like trying to complain that telegraphy is not tv. My point is that given I never trolled, never hurled names, merely argued with him, and got banned, utterly undermines his claims of 'wanting a conversation' as hypocritical. I did read up on Duesberg via the links and found it wanting. That's not bias, merely rejection of faulty data. Of course, though, I as all have biases. That's nor one of them, though, for I have no reason to not want a breakthrough in such a field. The 'truth' angle, and the claim of many bloggers to want it, is troubling, if only for the fact that Dean's truth, yours, Willis's Jarvis's, Daily Koses, and Bill O'Reilly's are all markedly different. And their utter defensiveness about it belies the level of their faith in their 'truths'. This manifests itself in the incessant personalizing of objective statements. It is also the 7 blind men & the elephant parable writ new. While the ears, tail, and tusks can interest, I'd rather just watch the elephant, what it is and does, rather than the bickering blind, or what they wish it was. DAN BTW- that 1st link is dead.
