The Altenberg 16 con
From yesterday: http://darwiniana.com/2010/07/28/altenberg-16-con-men/
and:

The episodes centering around the Altenberg 16 show up the inability of science/academia to manage any kind of reasonable paradigm critique and progression.
Ms. Mazur was attacked here, for trying to be helpful, because figures like Pigliucci et al. wish to stage a fake postdarwinism that is really the same as before.
His editorship of The Extended Synthesis would lead him to praise the simple effort of Mazur to publicize his efforts and those in his book.
But with Darwinists there must be a screw loose and you would bet wrong on the obvious
