Subject: Tyrannosaurus stanwinstorum FMNH PR2081 = BHI 2033
--Boundary_(ID_vmM7/ZN6F9JIHIQ42en4Wg) Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit My various publications containing the name Tyrannosaurus stanwinstonorum (I never used the trivial name "stanwinstonorus", which is an incorrect emendation re: ICZN) were never designed, printed, nor distributed as "newsletters", but as self-published extracts from two larger books-in-progress, Mutanda Dinosaurologica and Alfred Russel Wallace's KING KONG: the semioptics of Willis O'Brien. Two of my published extracts were widely distributed to various scholars, and printed on high-quality paper. One12 page publication specifically (on "glossy paper", and saddle-bound) was printed on 4 April 1996, this being KING KONG: unauthorized Jewish fractals in philopatry. Dr Holtz's description of it having "nazi/Freudian interpretation of King Kong, racism, and mixed in there some rather unhelpful attempts to coin new species of Allosaurus [= Allosaurus whitei AMNH 666] and Tyrannosaurus [stanwinstorum]" is, I'm afraid, entirely inaccurate. There were various elucidations of the impact of the 1933 film (personally, I use, in my book, more of Jacques Lacan's paradigms, rejecting entirely those of Freud, who falsified data, etc., as the scholarship of Fred Crews has conclusively documented; as a Jew, I do not discern where the "nazi" propoganda machines had any applicability to: dinosaur research, scinema theory, taxonomy, etc.). Whether or not my new taxa are "unhelpful" is a value judgment. Thus, the name "booklet" or "newsletter" I reject outright, as editor/creator/designer of my own (paleo)ontological publications. In 1996, I presented a species name, Tyrannosaurus stanwinstonorum, a designed type specimen, referred specimens for the hypodigm, and a very brief diagnosis (all in a publication with a date specified). This 1996 publication was distributed world-wide with copies of Mr Michael Fredericks's Prehistoric Times, without charge or thought for receiving any monetary compensation (none was asked for, never received). According to the ICZN, publication means "issued publicly for the purpose of providing a permanent scientific record", must "be obtainable, when first issued, free of charge". My publications were printed using photolithography, the 1996 publication using half-tones and line-drawings of my choosing. As a Jewish dinosaurologist, I choose what venue is necessary for dissemination of my thoughts, for any new dinosaur taxa I believe to be valid. And, I shall continue doing so: I believe self-publishing to be a scientifically valid (and sane) method of iterating thoughts, creating new dinosaur taxa, as can be easily demonstrated by perusing (as I do, often) George Olshevsky's excellent, privately printed dinosaur monographs. Mr Headden (often hiding behind the masque of "Qilongia"), who has never published anything on dinosaur taxonomy, is, it would appear, continuing his idiosyncratic, vacuous efforts to censor, emend, the valid scientific work of others. He is no ethical/moral position to be transposing his nonscientific agenda onto my continuing analyses, as a Jew within the contexts of interpreting taxonomies and ecomorphologies (and revisions of those analyses; my 1996 diagnosis of Tyrannosaurus stanwinstonorum is, 7 years later, slightly different, albeit more detailed). I have spent 49 years studying dinosaurs in the context of evolutionary developmental thought and philology, phylogenetic systematics (and cladistic biogeography being a component) as my paradigm. Mr Headden needs to take a deep breath, and make the attempt (at this point I do not believe it would be successful) to create his own dinosaur analyses for others to judge, analyze, and discuss. He is, I would say, consumed with jealousy of those who would take the time to do the research (I had the distinct honour, for several years, of having as my personal mentor, Sam Welles), to publish that research...tasks he is not yet capable of. The "community rules standard" can be capricious and ill-advised.
