Three times I asked for content mediation. I asked for an Ombudsman and/or a Mediator, but none materialized. A Third Opinion person showed up, saw there were more than two editors involved, and said he only handled cases where there were but two editors involved.

The only explanation is that they have a terror that the ID argument is so plausible to the uneducated masses that only distortion and exaggeration can defeat it.
I'll be damned if I can figure out what their core dread is. My first guess would have been Fear of Humiliation (at being proven wrong). But I don't see how to acquire any reliable evidence for such speculation on their idiosyncratic dreads and desires. I can't even figure out what their
primary objectives are.

I have no doubt at all that Filll is sincere in his beliefs, that is why it ends up being personal, because for Filll to be wrong he would now have to fundamentally question his core values.
Do you have a bead on his core values? I thought they might have been connected to the core values of the scientific enterprise. But then one would have expected his derivative practices to adhere to the protocols of the scientific method. I can't tell you the name of the protocols Filll, Hrafn, and Ornis were following on August 23rd, but they were nothing like the scientific method, as I understand and strive to practice it.
