Thanks for the posts. It’s telling how Dembski and friends handle ethically compromising situations: They abscond with the evidence and obfuscate its path. The ends will always justify the means so it seems.

After pledging that “once on the web, always on the web,” Dembski has tucked his tail between his legs and erased the bogus “Botnik” post from UD. Learned his lesson? Probably not.

Thanks for the letter; the page is now gone. Dembski: “I hope Baylor and President Lilley take its removal as a gesture of goodwill on the part of UD as they reconsider what to do about Robert Marks and his Evolutionary Informatics Lab.”.

The strange thing is that the letter is correct. Professors have limitation on what they can or can not do. Especially when it comes to setting up official departments or labs. Normally they can’t without a lot of permission slips. An English professor can not set up a lab of applied mathematics. Except for using terms like “will-nilly” and “good enough for me,” I can’t see anything wrong with the letter.

I certainly would be very interested in Lilley’s response. University administrators are not known to appreciate “jokes” at the expense of their institutions, especially by folks who already have a negative or embarassing history with said institution. Baylor is well respected in academia, and I expect they’d like to keep it that way.
