→‎Lead author won't answer simple, basic questions: Clarification of issues (hopefully) and warning of invoking 90/10 rule.

::::::::Also, the 90/10 rule doesn't apply here because I cannot make any contributions to the project page,  which is reserved for the exchange of letters between Schlafly and Lenski.

::::::::: Okay, here's my two-bob's worth.

::::::::: LarryFarma, this page was started to question the ''validity'' of Lenski's work and claims.  Although I can see how questions about his ''goals'' would be relevant to awarding him a prize, I can't see that they are relevant to the validity of his work.  I think that this might be the cause of some of the angst, as some editors are assuming that you are trying to question the work's ''validity'' with an argument that has no bearing on that point.

::::::::: Secondly, Aaronp has a point about the so-called 90/10 rule.  It's point is to ensure that editors contribute to the site and don't just argue.  That you are unable to contribute to this project page doesn't mean that you can't contribute elsewhere on the site.  The rule is not page-specific in that sense.  So as Aaronp has called for that rule to be invoked, and as you have only contributed on this talk page, I think that his request is fair.  However, I will allow you to make another post or two to wind up your arguments before doing so.  Beyond that, I will feel obliged to enforce it.
