Since Bex's quote was about Mendel's use of the term "species," and as this is a thorough discussion of what was meant by the term as Mendel used it, it's very relevant. I see no one's commented on the fact that Mendel didn't know about genetic mutation, which really makes the issue pointless to pursue anyway.

I think you need to back up your accusation of "equivocation" with some evidence or else I'll accuse you of slander and you'll have to give yourself a warning. As you will also have to do with "bogus posting", i.e. post 48372 above which adds nothing to the discussion at hand.
