Does anyone remember the name of the guy that resigned his fellowship
with the ID scam unit around the time that Ohio was happening (2002).
His explanation for resigning was that he hadn't signed up for the
politics. He might not have been listed as a fellow, but the ID scam
unit didn't list all their fellows like REMINE and DeForrest. I recall
that the other ID perps were pretty negative about his resignation.

He is the only ID perp that resigned when things started to go south for
the ID perps, but he isn't mentioned in any of the IDiot histories.
Phillip Johnson just retired from his Blog after the bait and switch
started to go down, but this guy resigned and got negative feedback from
the other ID perps.

Denton quit the ID scam after his second book was published and the
other ID perps gave it a negative review. They likely didn't like him
claiming that biological evolution was a fact of nature in the Forward
of the book, and a lot of them didn't like his religious views. As sad
as it may seem Denton got away clean before the bait and switch started
to go down, but then returned after the scam had been exposed in Dover.

The IDiot that resigned wasn't a major player, but he is the only one
that I recall resigning publically. He seems to be lost to history.

History is pretty much all TO has. Look at the present and how is the
future coming along. The NCSE is transferring most of its efforts to
climate change. The ID perps are the major factor in keeping
creationism out of the public schools with their bait and switch ploy.
Every time the bait and switch has gone down in the last decade the
creationist rubes drop the issue and turn their backs on the switch
scam. There hasn't been a group of creationist rubes stupid enough to
adopt the switch scam since Texas.
