[Taxacom] Reality check - lies and hate by academic fraud Wolfgang Wuster on Wikipedia!

Wed Oct 9 20:10:41 CDT 2013

Angelo,

You have hit the nail on the head.

That is why the Wuster gang attempt to destroy the
zoological code, couched with such terms as “Zoological code”, “taxonomic
vandalism” and the like must not be afforded any credibility whatsoever, either
here or anywhere else.

See the 2012 SPAM email of Kaiser for Wuster below.

Dear Friends, 

I am acting as secretary for the purpose of neutral dissemination of the
attached Point of View manuscript, put together by an international group of
seven respected herpetological taxonomists. We send this message and its
attachments to you with some urgency, and we request your participation. 

As you may know, some authors circumvent conventional scientific
processes in herpetology and publicize names not for the purposes of science
but for their own aggrandizement. Please view examples of this by downloading
Issue 12 of the "Australasian Journal of Herpetology" at http://www.smuggled.com/AJHIP1.htm. We consider this
practice unscientific, unethical, and a form of scientific fraud. If we, as
professionals, stand idly by while this fraud is perpetrated, then we ourselves
become complicit.  

We therefore plan to submit the attached manuscript as a Point of View
to Herpetological Review, and we wish to do so with the broadest
possible support from the herpetological community. To achieve this end, we
hope you will take the time to read our manuscript, send us your comments, and
let us know whether we may include your name as a supporter (in Appendix
2) or even as a co-author, should the journal feel that broader
authorship can lend our article greater weight with the scientific community.

We also hope that this issue, and maybe our ideas for a solution, will
be discussed in the Annual Meetings of ASIH, HL, and SSAR at the upcoming World
Congress of Herpetology, where we will gladly make ourselves available to
answer questions. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to learn the
identities of the contributors.

Thank you for your time and support,

Hinrich
