Do you get dizzy from all of the spin you are throwing around? I obviously was talking about John Kennedy's and my own similar view that the material should be available to the public not the peer review side of the equation.

Any intelligent person reading this should wonder about someone who makes assumptions like you are concerning whether or not someone else has a life, outside of debating on an Internet forum. Ad Hominem won't win the argument for you.
Listen idiot, JFK was not talking about scientific papers. Now if you want to be an immature brat that just plays stupid word games, go play them yourself because I am not getting involved with a moron...
 
You have no evidence of that at all.

Scientific journals discourage bad scholarship. That is why no "Truth Movement" paper has ever been published. It has nothing to do with politics.

Prove me wrong.

What is your basis for saying the fact that no "Truth Movement" paper has ever been published in a scientific journal has nothing to do with politics?

I think you are the one who is lacking evidence here. You should also read an article as to why some controversial things aren't published initially.

Galileo's findings that Copernicus was right when it came to whether the earth was the center of the universe or not weren't allowed to be published for many years. Was it because it was bad scholarship? Or did it have to do with ignorance and essentially politics?

Ok nitwit, JFK was talking about making information available for the people to discern its truth or falsehood. What don't you understand about that?

Don't hide behind the peer review as a way of keeping information out of the hands of the public. Most adults can discern whether something has validity and don't need or want it censured for them. You also fail to recognize that I said to present both sides of the argument to the public so get real.

Please refrain from insulting Galileo by comparing him to the pseudoscience that is the 9/11 truth movement.

most people, except the experts who have not published any 9/11 truth papers right...they are wrong...right?

No wait, let me guess, they are "in on it"?

Because all "Truth Movement" papers appear as whitepapers on the Internet, and every one that I've read has had more holes in it than a horse-trader's mule -- excepting those where a faction of the "Truth Movement" tries to discredit other factions. That is why they aren't published. The question of politics never even enters the equation.

The "Space Beams are Nonsense" whitepapers and Gregory Urich's mass calculation paper are examples of those that are not nonsense, but they don't contest the NIST report, and as such are not actually "Truth Movement" papers.

My evidence is the "Journal" for 9/11 Studies. I am not engaging in unfounded speculation. Nice try, though.

I've participated on both sides of the peer review process, even in the same week. Even currently. Individual journals or editors sometimes have unfortunate politics, but there are so many journals out there that if your paper is correct, you can get it published. You claimed otherwise. You pulled that out of thin air.

Galileo's findings that Copernicus was right when it came to whether the earth was the center of the universe or not weren't allowed to be published for many years. Was it because it was bad scholarship? Or did it have to do with ignorance and essentially politics?

If you're attempting to claim that journals today behave similarly to those four centuries past, you've no business challenging me.

So the woo are considering peer review censorship? Not like they have any bias right TAM.
 
TAM:

"Seek ye first the political kingdom".............

Look Frank, I have defended you and your scientific work here, and will continue to do so, so long as it has been based on good science. ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN from the truth movement is based on flawed science, or flawed data, or both. I agree with Mackey, if the work is legit, based on proper data and science, it will get published...maybe not everywhere, but somewhere.

I am aware there is a degree of politics everywhere, peer review, publishing in general, within the the scientific community.

So the woo are considering peer review censorship? Not like they have any bias right TAM.

They consider peer review censorship BECAUSE they have not been able to utilize it. If one of them, by some freakish chance, were to ever get an article published in a peer reviewed journal, they would be praising peer review as if it were next to an "ok from God".

TAM:)
 
I hope you will excuse me William but this should be said. Yes, verification after publication is a much more stringent test of the merits of a work and therefore means a lot more.

Excusing not required, thanks for the intervention.

It's nice to read a post from someone who displays intelligence and actually thinks before they press submit rather than posting erratically in the belief they have a chance to "get one over" on me. :rolleyes:

Well I think this would be a good point to post this...

It's not an Ad Hom, they don't exist in JREFland. :rolleyes:

There are lots of us here who are INTELLIGENT, but may not agree with you on certain things...

Look TAM, I will not defend you and your work here, and will continue not to support you, so long as your position here is based on your lack of appreciation of the REALPOLITIK of scientific publishing.

Is this irony?

"Lots" is an exaggeration in terms of intelligent, I can count them on one hand. I will concede however that "lots" of people disagree with me.

I do try to avoid lumping the JREFers together to use the less intelligent ones as material to carry out Ad Homs against the overall arguments (as per JREFers and the St***ies).

It is a scientifically proven fact that 100% of 911 related papers published are devoid of politics.:rolleyes:
