My Response to Daw's Desperate Diatribe



Reports of the death of the glacial transport theory are greatly exaggerated

I can put up with Tim Daw posting a stream of personal insults aimed at me on his own blog, which is read by his own enthusiastic followers, but I will not accept an ad hominem attack from him which is published on the Researchgate platform, posing as a learned article.  He even asked Researchgate to change the typeface at the head of the article,  to make it look as if it was extracted from an academic journal. Cheap stunt.   I'm amazed that Researchgate accepted it, given that it contains no scientific content whatsoever,  and that it is simply a gleeful celebration of what he perceives to be the death of the glacial transport theory. 

If Daw and his mates from within the Stonehenge establishment think that I am now going to shut up and go away, they have another thing coming.  And if they really think that the "transport debate" is now definitively concluded, that shows how little they understand about the scientific process. 

I wonder what Daw's colleagues think of the  endless stream of ill-considered attacks on his blog?  Not a lot, I suspect.  He is a considerable embarrassment.  Anyway, here is my response, also on Researchgate:
