I don't recall deleting a posting recently. Perhaps you mean the one where I said:

"Derek, you and I probably share many points of view and are probably fighting the same fight debunking dbdebunk, but I'm not cool with your aggressive wording and think it is counterproductive."

As far as I can tell that's still available on Google Groups, and I still stand by that statement. So feel free to react to it or ask for clarification. If you know my posting history in this group it cannot be a big surprise that I do not have much love for dbdebunk. I consider it a big threat tot a field I dearly love.
