Dr. Brind

edit

Hello Geoff, nice to meet ya. Good observation, I did make a conscious decision to say Dr. Brind... not sure why really. My best guess would be that's what it said in the studies I was reading at the time; and/or I referred to him so much I just kept using the same thing. But I agree, his first name is fine... at least in the introductions (or its first use). From then on Dr. Brind or even Brind is more suitable. - RoyBoy 800 03:03, 23 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

After re-reading your comment on Talk:Joel Brind, I'd have to disagree. I did not write "allegations"; I wrote verified inaccuracies on how Dr. Brind's position is presented. I'll give you a week to respond, I've tweaked it a bit and intend expand on criticisms of Dr. Brind. - RoyBoy 800 01:18, 2 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
"because it is incomplete and because of how it is incomplete" I entirely agree with the latter; which is why I took the big step;'D but the former calls for a stub tag, not a NPOV banner. So the big step is not sufficient? I think it does the job for NPOV; and I did put it after the other stuff... providing it with the last word. - RoyBoy 800 07:05, 5 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
