UK Paleos Social Media bullying and lies
Darren Naish trapped in amber
Darren Naish, John Hutchinson and Mark Witton instigate trifecta twitter attack on Harvard Scientist
Although many of the characters involved in the attack on the pterosaur in amber we would like to make it clear that most of the damage done does in fact seem to be attibuted to a quack scientist named John R Hutchinson who released a savage attack accusing our archive and museum pieces as being fake or illegal or underground and any number of psychoitic attacks he felt he could unleash without having any real education on the subject. Thankfully we only suffered financial damages as a result of the human resources manager at the Royal Veterinary College failing to make efforts to monitor the social media accounts of their staff. This laxidasical nature has meant a very nasty fiasco that caused serious mental damage to a American scientist who was caught up in this affair and this shows how clearly evil Hutchinson's premeditated attack on our archive material is or the archive material of any diligent collector for that matter. Now that Hutchinson is starting to realise that the ambers he said were fake are in fact real, very very real he is in a frantic frenzy trying to delete all the lies that he has tweeted
Universities like Southampton are third class establishments for poor foreigners as a business and it has no real academic merits in our opinion.Click here if you would like to see evidence of malicious attacks launched by John R Hutchinson of the Royal Veterinary College via social media platforms attempting to discredit the authencity of these finds.JohnRHutchinson may have metally damaged and intimidated at least one American scientist but we are not going to allow the creators of fake pterosaur propaganda like Hutchinson to further intimidate, slander or defame our archive and in addition to this we are documenting evidences of his delibrate attempts where he is investing his time on photoshop and social media to launch a tirade of lies and vitriol.Hutchinson has badly disturbed Meehan's mind and he is clearly very dangerous, it is not suitable for this man to be near even grown up children and parents who have children studying at RVC should warn their loved ones to stay far away from the highy abusive Hutchinson who is known to lurk around the Royal Veterinary College. RVC staff are now under close watch and investigation since their dark web abusive activities of Hutchinson have been fully exposed.
Please also note that team members of this attack are also guilty of inventing a non existent pterosaur from Hornsby Island managing to dupe and fool National Geographic and Scientific American into total shame by publishing peer reviewed fake fossils of a pterosaur that never existed.
Naish also claims without evidence that our pterosaurs are fake proving he is a very amateur scientist, his vitriol includes allusions to having a supposedly real pterosaur in amber but to date has failed to produce anything.
Below are screenshots and some transcripts that show you what some paleontologists really do and it is not studying fossils but launching very childish tweets full of lies, we would have liked to have ignored them but their relentless destructive tweets and paleo blogs have caused such a commotion we would like to state that Darren can neither prove he has a pterosaur in amber nor disprove that many others also have specimens, some are even on public display.

Sorry guys, I'm pretty familiar with pterosaur anatomy and what we think their soft-tissues were like, but I just can't see anything convincing in these images. These look like vaguely animal-shaped debris and detritus, not like animal parts in amber I'm familiar with.

@MarkWitton @dave_hone You have no more of a monopoly on the evidence-based study of pterosaurs (or any creature) than does Lance Armstrong on cancer. No one among us on Earth is an expert on such poorly resolved creatures (not yet, at least.) #livestrong #pterosaurinamber

I don't claim any monopoly, but I do have about 20 years experience working on pterosaurs. It's a small community and I think it reasonable to suggest I know more about them than all but about 100 people on the planet.

Here we see a Julian Keily who I have never heard of but after a search I found that he was involved in an attack on Canadian and that the offending material was removed. Why Julian would have the behavior of thinking that all the collectors of pterosaur in amber around the World are the same person?? That would be like me saying something foolish like paleonology is a gateway drug to science. Just goes to show that SOME paleontologists have little else to do other than tweet nonsense all day.
Characters:
Darren Naish is a British vertebrate palaeontologist and science writer. He obtained a geology degree at the University of Southampton and later studied vertebrate palaeontology under British palaeontologist David Martill at the University of Portsmouth (yes the scientist who made a documentary about searching for living pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea), where he obtained both an M. Phil. and PhD
Dr Dave Hone is a lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London, specialising in dinosaurs and pterosaurs. He blogs at Archosaur Musings, is a contributor to Pterosaur.net and created Ask A Biologist
Mark P. Witton is a British vertebrate palaeontologist, author, and palaeoartist best known for his drawings concerning pterosaurs, he sometimes works with Liz Martin-Silverstone who is notorious for publishing pterosaur studies for non pterosaur fossils making fools out of National Geographic who stupidly believed in her fake Hornsby Pterosaur. Ironic how amateur paleos who publish cheap lies in top tier journals dare attack fossil archives that when they are totally ignorant of their contents.

@gimpasaura
Palaeontologist notorious for fake Canadian Pterosaur research paper based on not one real pterosaur bone making the Hornsby Island pterosaur a massive paleo hoax and cohort of Mark Witton. Part of @Palaeocast and @ScienceBorealis. not the type of scientist honest institutions should waste research budgets on.
John R. Hutchinson this is one of the most foul-mouthed and shameless of so-called scientists he likes to defame people with nasty evil tweets and then often tries to delete the tweets containing his lies and slander to hide from RVC the true evil character he has - not the sort of person that should be allowed to teach in any institution.

Note Darren Naish is a liar and not to be trusted especially around children. He should not allowed to be a teacher and he is a shame on his institution.

Sorry guys, I'm pretty familiar with pterosaur anatomy and what we think their soft-tissues were like, but I just can't see anything convincing in these images. These look like vaguely animal-shaped debris and detritus, not like animal parts in amber I'm familiar with.

Hi Darren. Here's a link to our 'birds' in amber video with labelling as you have requested. We are working on a pterosaur version with labelling and Nano CT / FTIR: https://youtu.be/wQpANoLRKEE #pterosaurinamber #birdinamber Enjoy!!

Oh, this is a great topic! Protobat, pterosaur in amber and full Gigantopithecus are definitely ones I would love to see!

OMG! Amber-entombed maniraptorans must be close! Or tiny pterosaurs?

Snake in amber. STILL WAITING FOR THE PTEROSAUR, @TetZoo!

“The fossil is the first baby snake and the oldest baby snake to yet be found." Before this amber was found, paleontologists had not uncovered a fossilized baby snake even in the rock fossil record. https://nyti.ms/2uyjp1k

Ignore this stuff, it's not legit. But... is there a legit pterosaur in amber coming soon? Hold on :)

None of the stuff on that website is even remotely convincing. And we've been through this a thousand times before; I'm not doing it again.

@MarkWitton @dave_hone You have no more of a monopoly on the evidence-based study of pterosaurs (or any creature) than does Lance Armstrong on cancer. No one among us on Earth is an expert on such poorly resolved creatures (not yet, at least.) #livestrong #pterosaurinamber

I don't claim any monopoly, but I do have about 20 years experience working on pterosaurs. It's a small community and I think it reasonable to suggest I know more about them than all but about 100 people on the planet.

Here we see a Julian Keily who I have never heard of but after a search I found that he was involved in an attack on Canadian and that the offending material was removed. Why Julian would have the behavior of thinking that all the collectors of pterosaur in amber around the World are the same person?? That would be like me saying something foolish like paleonology is a gateway drug to science. Just goes to show that SOME paleontologists have little else to do other than tweet nonsense all day.
Characters:
Darren Naish is a British vertebrate palaeontologist and science writer. He obtained a geology degree at the University of Southampton and later studied vertebrate palaeontology under British palaeontologist David Martill at the University of Portsmouth (yes the scientist who made a documentary about searching for living pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea), where he obtained both an M. Phil. and PhD
Dr Dave Hone is a lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London, specialising in dinosaurs and pterosaurs. He blogs at Archosaur Musings, is a contributor to Pterosaur.net and created Ask A Biologist
Mark P. Witton is a British vertebrate palaeontologist, author, and palaeoartist best known for his drawings concerning pterosaurs, he sometimes works with Liz Martin-Silverstone who is notorious for publishing pterosaur studies for non pterosaur fossils making fools out of National Geographic who stupidly believed in her fake Hornsby Pterosaur. Ironic how amateur paleos who publish cheap lies in top tier journals dare attack fossil archives that when they are totally ignorant of their contents.

@gimpasaura
Palaeontologist notorious for fake Canadian Pterosaur research paper based on not one real pterosaur bone making the Hornsby Island pterosaur a massive paleo hoax and cohort of Mark Witton. Part of @Palaeocast and @ScienceBorealis. not the type of scientist honest institutions should waste research budgets on.
John R. Hutchinson this is one of the most foul-mouthed and shameless of so-called scientists he likes to defame people with nasty evil tweets and then often tries to delete the tweets containing his lies and slander to hide from RVC the true evil character he has - not the sort of person that should be allowed to teach in any institution.

Harvard scientist who published the worlds first documented vegetarian spider, he is regarded by his peers as a savant and genius.
Note Darren Naish is a liar and not to be trusted especially around children. He should not allowed to be a teacher and he is a shame on his institution.
