" vs "His call for volunteers even slipped into the Archaeological Institute of America's online listing of excavation opportunities briefly before being yanked" sorry even if he is a loon, this sort of chicken vs egg hypocrisy is a bit over board, if someone's pet thesis is at stake, they need to get the hell out of the way, if not, loan him some one to make sure he does not cause the damage they suggest he is inflicting while at the same time either confirming or debunking his claims.
