In a peer review journal this would not be tolerated, and it would reflect badly on the journal.

And I think that it reflects badly on AoB, a site which I refuse to visit. Their entries can be Kokofuten, and I couldn't care less.

I was trying to be a bit tactful this time. When I tell it like it really is then it is called a rant. And then I am told not to be so hard on the old boy.
It does call into question a lot of the articles that he has written. Including the one he had in the ABS Journal. Now there is a kick. A questionable article on chopsticks ;o)
