		<description><![CDATA[Hello Adamus,

Came across McCutcheon&#039;s book several years ago on Amazon. I read the 1st free chapter and looked at his website, all of which deliberately distorts current science.  I poted a negative review, which was deleted by Amazon. 
Eventually I posted sarcastic reviews on .com and .uk sites, which seem to have stuck.

I occasionally google the book to see who he&#039;s conning into buying it.  I also posted on a blog site a while ago, pointing out McCutcheon&#039;s &quot;misunderstanding&quot;. This got a reply from Roland Tremblay who insisted, amongst other things, that work and energy are the SAME thing, and that I didn&#039;t understand what was being taught about this (I actually taught this for several years).

No matter how rationally you present your case, with whatever references to scientists or textbooks, Mr Tremblay will argue that you are wrong and McCutcheon is right, that you are blinkered by current dogma, while he quotes back from nothing other than McCutcheon&#039;s book.

If you won&#039;t respond to this attack, Mr. Tremblay, why don&#039;t you respond under your pseudonym; Mr McCutcheon?]]></description>

Well of course I published your comment. How much of a hypocrite would I be if I censored a comment on a post about censorship? :)

I may not agree with the conclusions you&#039;ve reached, but I can appreciate someone who&#039;s taken the effort to survey the available evidence and make up his own mind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh wow, you published my comment, thank you. I wondered if you would. I said I would not answer attacks, but your following comment is not an attack. All I can say is that as things look when someone does a search on the Internet now (a lot has been deleted since), I can understand your point of view. I have stated my viewpoint, so all we can do now is let people judge for themselves. There is not much else I can say, except thank you again for giving me the chance to answer you, very honourable of you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Roland,

First you implore me to listen, and then you neatly duck out of any further engagement in the form of debate by stating that you &quot;will not answer any attack&quot;. How very... typical of you.

You state that there were passionate attacks on the &#039;final theory&#039;, yet all I was able to dig up were a handful of forum discussions that, if anything, dismissed the whole thing out of hand. That does not look like a genuine scientific controversy. In fact, it looks suspiciously like no serious scientist can be bothered rebutting a so obviously crackpot idea.

That, to me, seems like the real reason there&#039;s so little counter-argumentation to be found: biologist don&#039;t bother countering the stork-theory of human procreation, geologists don&#039;t bother arguing with creationists about the real age of the earth, and physicists don&#039;t bother debating the &#039;final theory&#039;.

I will most assuredly not be buying the book and read it for myself. I&#039;m not wasting my hard-earned money on something that is so obviously a load of tosh. Instead, I think I&#039;m going to follow the example set by the wider scientific community and just laugh at it, shake my head, and move on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry Adamus, I must set the record straight. You come to this debate late in the day, it happened years ago. Let me try to explain, if you are willing to listen.

Most of what you say in this entry is untrue, there is a whole history behind all these events and there was no conspiracy with Amazon or Wikipedia. As far as I could learn, there was just an enflamed debate that became virulent, creating chaos, where neutrality could not be found. So it was deleted by these organisations. It had nothing to do with the author or the publisher. 

You would expect such crisis when people feel threaten by something that is so convincing and so revolutionary that some of our most cherished and profitable industries (like the powerful oil and gas industry) and grants in science could overnight become obsolete. However, people should not forget the new avenues this could open.

Rest assure that if there was nothing threatening about The Final Theory, if it was so obvious that it was just another crackpot theory, no one would have bothered attacking it with such passion until the whole thing had to be deleted. This is just another form of censorship.

I&#039;m afraid you have re-hashed a campaign of disinformation from parties who stand to lose a lot from a revolutionary new science and possible new inventions including solving our energy crisis. 

Also, most scientists have vested interests in their own theories, their life blood is in it and they receive a lot of money to simply think about it and develop expensive experiments. Talking against Standard Theory or Einstein today is like stating God does not exist and religions should be banned.

If you do not feel like buying the book, reading it for yourself and see why most comments on Amazon are positive and genuine, there is no need to despair. I have written a few articles which I hope will enlighten your readers about what it is all about and why this information is being suppressed. As far as I know they are the only articles going into details about Expansion Theory and I have nothing to gain by this. I am only convinced this is the true science, that it will advance humanity and solve many of our most immediate urgent problems:

[self-promotional links deleted - ed.]

No need to attack me. I will not answer any attack as I feel it is a waste of time. I hope you understand. In your case Adamus perhaps you were just misguided, so I thought that this time I would say something and give you some insight into what Expansion Theory really is about. It has the greatest potential I have ever come across to change the world, don&#039;t be too quick to read the propaganda against it on the net and pass judgment. 

I suggest you read the book, I guarantee it will change your mind despite, I admit, the way the publisher has decided to go about it concerning the marketing of the book. This publisher can be forgiven since he is also publishing other books that probably would not sell unless it was marketed that way, he just follows what he knows works well when it comes to alternate science. It is not a criterion upon which The Final Theory should be judged.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ouch - very unfortunate name coincidence there, Mark. Hope that doesn&#039;t get you in to too much trouble down the line.

And yes, Amazon seems to be playing dirty games - especially since they &lt;a href=&quot;http://pandodaily.com/2012/01/17/confessions-of-a-publisher-were-in-amazons-sights-and-theyre-going-to-kill-us/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;entered&lt;/a&gt; the publishing market. They seem intent on selling books that are printed and/or published through them, and will deceptively manipulate their own review systems to make that happen.]]></description>
