If Only Darwinists Scrutinized Their Own Work as Closely: A Response to "Erik"
by William A. Dembski
William_Dembski@baylor.edu
ABSTRACT—An Internet persona known as "Erik" reviewed those aspects of my book No Free Lunch dealing with the Law of Conservation of Information and specificational resources. Erik's review is titled "On Dembski's Law of Conservation of Information" and is available at http://www.talkreason.org/articles/dembski_LCI.pdf. I respond to the review here.

I'm not sure it does much good to respond to an unknown critic that haunts internet message boards. It just gives them free publicity, imo.
Interesting reading though.

I'm not sure that Erik "haunts" message boards any more than anyone else who participates in online discussions, including this one here at ISCID.
Several internet personas who post anonymously have also been mentioned at ISCID, most notable "Mike Gene" of ARN.
Given the nature of the medium, and the fact the a number of articles and comments by Dembski have appeared first, or exclusively, online, it seems reasonable to me that internet responses should be based on merit alone, not on whether they appear solely online, or are posted under an internet pseudonym.

Evan,
Good point.
Nobody,
Bad post. We frown upon short posts, especially short posts that do nothing to further the conversation. Dembski has responded to Erik, presumably because he thought Erik's arguments worthy of response. We are here to discuss ideas, not people.
