RE: No more Fraudactylus or dinosaur skin items on eBay postings

I found your post, below, very disturbing. It shows a bias that is both
unscientific and censorial. Who are you to say a fossil is not worthy of
scientific scrutiny. I find myself questioning your credentials to host this
web site.

(Hopefully plain text this time.)

Please stop posting about Fraudactylus and the T. rex "skin" item on   eBay.
Since the first item has a fossil leaf embedded, we are  fast  approaching
the
rule on posting about fossils for sale.   Whatever the skin  is, it isn't
dinosaur science.  A posting about  real dinosaur skin for sale  would bring
a
week-long time  out.

Cans of worms should not be opened.
