@ Jovialis,
Now, all of a sudden it's trace amounts, and they never agreed with the claims of Sikelliot, Azzurro/Principe, and all the socks they posted under. They never even SPOTTED those sock accounts, btw, but they were on me like a duck on a June bug. Heck, they never even heard of Sikeliot, and as for being able to spot his socks, it was impossible!
Smells to me like maybe someone saw a leaked portion of an upcoming paper(s) and they're trying to back pedal furiously.
Polako very often did the same. Get a heads up, scrub the worst of contradictory posts, and come out with a brand new position right before a paper comes out. I used to conjecture that perhaps Razib Khan, with all his contacts, used to help his friend Polako out in that way.
Notice he doesn't mention the huge mistakes Polako made about the Etruscans or the Myceneaens, great open scientist that he is.
Yet we, who got both things right, are the ignoramuses. It's typical the pot calling the kettle black.
What hypocrites and liars.
Notice too how quickly some little acolytes must have been running to them with reports of what we're saying here. Honestly, so many of these young men on anthrofora have a disturbing resemblance to adolescent girls and their vicious little cliques. I remember when they tried to bring Dienekes down in one poor excuse for a forum. They're right in tune with the spirit of the age and the blurring of the genders.
