Firstly, everyone knew what he meant.And the other point is that the "moderator" called Bells should take some action against you for this blatant breach of site guidelines. And she would, if this were a proper science discussion forum. But it obviously isn't. She threw my thread into the pseudoscience section for no good reason.
I won't even bother trying to guess where or how "astroturfing" comes into it, but when we get to the point where you pitching a hissy fit because someone said book or paper or vice versa, then it's pretty clear that your attempts to flame this thread cannot possibly get any worse.And she will likely let you get away with what you just did. That is how I know this site is just an astroturfing sham. The basic unfairness on display here is grotesque. This so called science discussion forum is just a cover for a shadowy (and highly incompetent) right-wing group that does boring, pro-business, feel-good, "Everything is Awesome" bullshit propaganda under the guise of science. What a transparent scam!
