Well Sub did offer one good idea and I have acted on it. I have emailed Dr. Toonen. It is pointless for me to argue or explain on his behalf, I do not have his qualifications nor experience and I did not write the statement. He is the marine biologist, he wrote it so let him explain or defend it. While I may believe it, that is not enough to settle things for the purposes of this thread.
Sub- I included all your quotes explaining why his statement is wrong, why he misstated things and that he should change them. I asked him if he could expand on what he said so we can understand it and why it is valid, or not. This is exactly what I asked him to tell us:
"So my question is what this person is saying correct, or does he not have any clue? I would very much like to be able to provide the reason your statement is correct or else to concede his points are correct and your statement should be revised? If you are curious about this thread, you can find it here http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?272717-No-More-BS-About-BS
I also realize you have a busy schedule and will understand if you tell me you cannot provide an answer. But if you can, I would be most grateful."
Despite all the rantings and insults I have been subjected to by Sub, I am willing to admit his side of things if he should prove to have been correct. Time will tell, hopefully. However, I would not hold my breath waiting for the reply as this is a man who is often at sea for weeks on end doing research. If I get an answer I will post the emails here unless he specifically states I should not do so.
