Actually, from here, I read that Gale was calling other random scientists
naive, soft and gullible. I didn't think the above comment was directed
to anyone present here.
Of course with my failing memory, you never know: I could be quite
wrong... :-(

I'm sorry. Just that my frustration level is going up; I don't know if
my points are being made or not. And I feel like some of my posts are
being selectively quoted from in ways which draw me into pointless
battles. Not that I'm acusing you of doing this.
Just that I think we'all here pretty much universally disagree on a few
things. And it's hard to remove ourselves emotionally from the discussion.

Who tries not to speak for Gale or anyone other than me. And I don't
even think I speak for me half of the time...
