Hi Jonathan,
I am no longer subscribed so this was sent to me by a friend. I will reply
openly as one should always shed the maximal amount of light on the
unchristian behavior of the YECs.

As I recall the situation, circa Oct. 1998, Tim Thompson posted a critique
of Humphreys' magnetic reversal ideas, I believe on the Evolution reflector.
I added a few comments to it. That note was the reply by Humphreys. The
only thing different between the copy posted on the ASA and what was
originally posted was that originally Humphreys called me an apostate. I
ignored that for a long while. But when I found that claim then repeated on
AiG's website, I got fed up and took actions to get them to retract that
falsehood. That is why in October I posted the note denying that I was an
apostate. http://www.calvin.edu/archive/asa/200110/0251.html
I will say that Russ was the easy one to get to change it. AiG took a bit
more effort--they like calling people names.
