Update Friday, March 15 2013

As you might know, Grahams video and Rupert Sheldrake's were both pulled the same day shortly after Graham announced the controversy. By then dozens of copies had been downloaded and reposted online, the only request Graham made to his Facebook followers. All other actions such as this petition, calls to TED and the blog comments on TED's blog were initiated independently with no urging by the author. As you can see by Graham's latest Facebook posts and Curator of TED Conferences Chris Anderson's replies--just more fuel has been added to the fire. Anderson put his foot in his mouth by calling for level heads among Graham's fans while insulting the author further by asking him to rationalize a biased Wikipedia article on "Psuedoarchealogy" which has no relevance to the factual issues presented: the author was accused of making statements not in the video. After the fact TED disingenuously tries to dismiss the issue as a minor TOS violation of their guidelines.
