RA status is a privilege.

Yes, to all research associates. A paying job at SI is also a privilege. But there are legal rules and ethical rules that apply for both the appointer and the appointee. Nothing that Sternberg did was counter to his requirements. His sponsor stated as much in the emails.

Investigations I proved to be flawed.

Your opinions are not proof.

You're the one railing against the involvement of Sternberg's main defender.

Yet again, "NCSE HAD NO BUSINESS...

This modern-day supposed controversy and growing public interest in it is the result of the planned and ...

This is Shapiro's statement again ...Although such purists as Dennett and Dawkins repeatedly assert that the scientific issues surrounding evolution are basically solved by conventional neo-Darwinism, the ongoing public fascination reveals a deeper wisdom.

That has nothing to do with ID.

According to you.

Yes, according to me. They have no affliation with SI and are in no chain of supervision over Sternberg. Simple logic proves "NCSE HAS NO BUSINESS..."

Eventually he wasn't able to do that and thus blew his professional reputation as a scientist, something that caused much resentment among his colleagues.

You are saying they resented that, according to you, he blew his reputation as a scientist? Preposterous and false. The Meyer incident happened in Jun 2004. He has had peer reviewed articles published since then. I gave you one.

Oh, I forgot, that couldn't have been resentment he himself caused,

Yeah he was breathing. In any case, NCSE instigated the witch hunt at SI and of course, "NCSE HAD NO BUSINESS..."

Not the mishandling of artifacts or jeopardizing his good standing as a scientist with the Meyer article?

Your opinions are not proof.

The proof is in the report. It says there was no evidence for mishandling, yet right there in the emails is evidence for mishandling.

That has nothing to do with ID.

Technically, no, Shapiro isn't an IDer, but he's open-minded. I was talking about the general debate.

Preposterous and false.

So the scientists all not wanting to work with him anymore because of what he pulled never happened?

NCSE instigated the witch hunt at SI

Back in reality, the scientists at the SI got pissed.

And yet we still sit here, after all of these exchanges, with no provable harm done to Sternberg by the management for his beliefs. We might as well end this if you can't show any real harm.
