It wasn’t many months ago that a fossil named Ida graced the cover of every magazine and was the talk of all the news channels. There was a media blitz over what some called the “fossil that changes everything.” Extravagant claims were made about it being an ancient ancestor to humans, and proving beyond doubt the truth of evolution. Of course, many saw through the hype and exaggerated claims right away. It’s no surprise, then, that upon further study scientists are reporting that the claims were wrong.

What are you stupid? The reports are that the claims are right! Your lying! Not even a shred of dignity, your just a liar!

As Isaac Newton wrote, “Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.” You could use a little help in that department.
Obviously you did not read the AP article I linked to. In the beginning it says, “Experts protested that Ida wasn’t even a close relative. And now a new analysis supports their reaction. In fact, Ida is as far removed from the monkey-ape-human ancestry as a primate could be, says Erik Seiffert of Stony Brook University in New York.” The report is that the initial claims were exaggerated and wrong. Get your facts straight before you go on a rant full of ad hominems and slanderous accusations.
