I see this will continue to spiral downward in a ball of fire......done.

  With all due respect, Bill, I have not asked for your help. I do not believe I need your help. "To see ourselves as others see us" is so very difficult. In that regard, I fail all the time I'm sure. But we all do, Bill, we all do. I was only trying to help you understand. Can't you see that you are doing to others what you expect them not to do themselves? The problem is not your wealth of knowledge on the subject. The problem is your method of delivering that knowledge. That is why I can't understand you, Bill. I don't understand why you feel an abrasive approach to responses you don't agree with and/or like is the way to go. It shouldn't matter to you what any of us think of the Solutrean hypothesis. As you yourself said, in so many words, the world will still spin on its' axis. I'm only trying to help you see yourself. My overly harsh comments earlier in this thread were a meaner way of trying to do that and again, I'm sorry for harsh comments. In so many of your replies to peoples comments you have begun with phrases like "It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about", etc. This is what I mean when I say the problem is in your delivery. Responses like that make people feel they are being belittled, derided, dismissed. And that can never be conducive to a civil development of the ongoing discussion. And so people give up discussing it with you. Bill, I wish you the best, but if you can't admit adjustments to delivery are called for, then discussions, on this particular subject at least, are doomed to failure each and every time. I wish you the best and I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.

Theory's.....agendas....Are you the publisher for that book Bill? And just how long did it take to "Know it all?"

[gregszybala]

In my opinion Chris, this should have been stopped a long time ago. Condescending attitude, rude, opinionated, professed professionalism presented in an unprofessional manner, personal attacks. Most of us humans just don't behave in such a manner. Maybe it's our little brains.

CMD, I not only addressed his points, I recognize the fact that I refuted them!
When I address someone’s arguments with a counter argument that consists of facts, science and knowledge and they choose to ignore it that causes me question the honesty of your intentions.
I agree that you have made the right decision for you not to discuss this subject further.

Again, rude.

Bill wrote:

CMD I agree that you should not because you simply do not know enough about this subject to discuss it appropriately. You get angry when someone else does and I appreciate that you have realized that.

That is uncalled for.

cgode, that sounds good to me because that's all I ever wanted. I am glad those rules being enforced and remain optimistic they will be applied equally to everyone. Thank you and I will look forward to discussions that are more civil.

  I'm not seeing it that way Bill, a reminder of some of the rules here.....
      2.1 Words, phrases and concepts which would be considered unacceptable or inappropriate in normal polite conversation or in the presence of children should not be used in the content of posts.
I would not take your comments as being polite.
  2.4 Posts intended or likely to incite aggression are forbidden. If your views are contrary to the generally accepted views of the community, do not post them in a confrontational way. Present your views in a civil manner and expect others to be civil in return. Be aware that emotion and meaning behind a post is hard to judge. Do not automatically take posts as an attack against yourself as they may have not been meant in such a way. Use the ‘emoticons’ as helpful indicators of the tone of your posts.
I think your responses are "likely" to incite more drama....let's drop the drama and go back to civil, polite conversation/debate....thank you

Of course it would Jack, I get your point and it is a good one. Active Volcanism during Clovis sure would totally destroy sites in that area.

Come on CMD you have stopped making sense. There is an old saying that when one wants to stop talking then he just stops talking. 

  Flag on the play, there won't be a third one thrown.

[Bill]

That's a good idea Dandielyonwine. I'll think about that.

[Bill]

Well since you put it that way Jack, yes it may take more than one blade. My let's just settle down and expect exciting news from the Del Marva peninsula area. Be especially excited about the underwater and land Archaeology that is going to take place there.
I have that dance of mine ready and right now it’s looking pretty good for Drs. B and S. too. I believe am going to have some reasons to enjoy dancing.

Hey,
Could we collect the informative maps and links this post has accumulated and place them in an easy to reach spot for future references?

You ever hear of Mt St.Helens that blew its top a number of years back. It covered a huge area with deep ash, what do you think it would do with a paleo camp just leave it alone.
  I agree to disagree with you today, but we always have tomorrow.
