Talk:PNAS Response to Letter (view source)
Revision as of 19:36, September 19, 2008
, 19:36, September 19, 2008→Dear Aschlafly,
:::::I am resting under a similar assumption. My next couple of questions, Aschlafly, first off, why did you refuse to give a direct answer to a single question, instead option to say "Your spelling was bad, hence, you are closed minded." I think you mean to say "I have no idea how to give a correct response, hence I will just refuse to answer you." Until you actually answer my questions, I will assume you do not understand how to answer. Second, yes, there are "I don't understand" parts in my questions, parts I wanted you to clarify so I could understand them. Refusing to answer those makes it look, again, like you simply don't understand, in this case, you don't understand what YOU wrote. Finally, the "general link" was a link to the cumulative research of Richard Lenski, so that point is completely invalid. If you could respond to my post WITHOUT brushing it off, it would be deeply appreciated. (by the way, I re-checked the spelling just for you.) [[User:AlexaJ|AlexaJ]]

Schlafly, admitting you were wrong does not in any way reflect weakness, nor does it have to affect your belief in any way. On the contrary, admitting you are wrong proves you are sure of your capacities to better yourself, and that you are willing to learn. If you say it right, you will also have a good chance to eanr the respect of some of the people that criticized you.
Continuous denial, and refusal to answer because of a few spelling mistakes, on the other hand reflects fear of making mistakes, and has the effect of worsening your image. You choose. [[User:Fred1776|Fred1776]] 15:36, 19 September 2008 (EDT)
