I have contacted two historians on science. One has found the webpageok and suggested a correction i have included in last http://www.canonicalscience.org/en/r...e/history.html Other wrote {BLOCKQUOTE Your project looks promising and interesting! } but adds he wait to the complete version of the website for a final evaluation, {BLOCKQUOTE I wish you a good fothcoming, I will look on your homepage in some weeks again. } How different from unfair criticism by amateur Tom Roberts! Your reaction is understandable but I think that you are not being fair he he is not an historian of science, but there is no need to rub it in. Such comments -- even if true --are close to name-calling, and not useful at all. I think i have been kindly. In my opinion, Roberts words were *very* unfair That's why I wrote: "Your reaction is understandable " {BLOCKQUOTE [Tom Roberts] That website displays the bias of its author much more strongly than than any defensible view of the history of science. It is revisionist history at its worst } Also in point 10 of Roberts' (and Siegmar Schleif) FAQ http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/ experiments.html#Experiments_not_consistent_with_S R one can read "Amateurs look for patterns, professionals look at error bars." I am rather sure that Roberts uses that phrase to warn his readers about certain incorrect literature. I have remarked Roberts 'amateurism' on history of relativity by a similar motive. If Roberts is not a historian of science -of course Roberts is not- then he would avoid to write unfair postings as that of above. You gave him Tit-For-Tat. That is very understandable. -- I apply http://canonicalscience.org/en/misce...guidelines.txt Again: I do understand it, but I don't think that giving tit-for-tat is in line with your guidelines. You could have stated the same - to the same effect concerning yourself - without mentioning names. Regards, Harald I have thought about that and you are completely right. Originaly I did guidelines for avoiding crap, insults, nonsense, dogmas... The final goal for guidelines is improving newsgroup experience in some way. If most people follows the guidelines the newsgroup will become more civilisated. But i have failed to follow my own guidelines strictly. One of my bigest failures here and on sci.physics.foundations, and sci.physics.research has been i have given voice (i.e. importance) to people who i would have given little or even none. Thinking about that mistake now, i would re-read Tom roberts criticism of the webpage and would ask: What *real* importance has what Tom Roberts wrote? Is Roberts message really important how to take it into account (i.e. seriously)? Or can it be simply ignored? Who did aplaud Roberts message? Dono? That says everything... In conclusion, i will do an effort to avoid hooks :-) and follow guidelines *strictly*. -- I apply http://canonicalscience.org/en/misce...guidelines.txt |

IMHO, even better would have been to not react in particular: ignoring unfounded negative remarks while at the same time countering them is perhaps most effective.

All you get is the foam at the corners of your mouth. |
