Actually, we are talking about you, Vincent. WE ARE TALKING VERY MUCH ABOUT YOU. You have chosen to accuse someone of fraud in a public forum. This is far different in nature that simply saying that a mistake was make, or even saying that you don't respect someone's intelligence, or even saying that someone is stupid, because this goes to INTENTIONALITY and to character. Such accusations are not to be made lightly, particularly where the charge involved is scientific dishonesty. If you're going to make such severe charges, particularly in a public forum, then you have to accept the fact that others are going to inspect your motives in doing so. They are going to look at what interests you might be furthering by making such charges, they're going to look at your own level of maturity, and they're going to look at the history of the interaction between you and the person you've accused. That's just life. Science doesn't exist in a vacuum...science is just a part of life. So the spotlight is on you, too. We have a saying: If you can stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
