- As I said before, there are only two choices: either Moon is, as
- previously labelled, a "crank" who uses these terms in his lectures
- but pointedly omits them in his published work because he knows it's
- intellectual chicanery, or you've misrepresented him badly and have
- not served his reputation well.
-
- We HAVE his paper, and have seen that there is one use of the word
- "steroid" and NO mention of "anabolic." If his paper is not truly
- representative, then he would seem to be "tidying" his presentation
- to fit what he knows is actual fact, while misinforming his students
- during his lectures. One of you is not telling the truth, is it Dr.
- Moon, or is it you?

-
- If I have misrepresented you, then it is clearly Dr. Moon who is the
- "crank" and I will apologize to you. If it is Dr. Moon who has been
- misrepresented, then it would seem that you owe him some more e-mail.
-
- Just tell us which one of you is doing the misrepresentation. From
- the [deleted] quotes you supplied, perhaps Steve was right after all,
- perhaps it is Dr. Moon who is misrepresenting the facts.
