Topic Drift Alert
One surefire way to draw a thread off-topic is to make controversial and sweeping claims supported only by circumstantial evidence. You're welcome to propose a new thread to discuss the position that scientific fraud is common, but discussion in this thread should try to stay a bit closer to the "Jared v. Hovind" title.

Re: Topic Drift Alert
Whole threads could be devoted to many Hovind assertions. As long as discussion here focuses on what Hovind actually says then I think it's on topic. This means that, "Hovind says scientific fraud is common..." would be on-topic because then discussion could turn to whether Hovind is able to support this assertion. But the more general "Scientific fraud is common..." would have to be ruled off-topic because it turns the discussion from how well Hovind makes this point (and how well you rebutted it) to the point itself.

Re: Another unsupported assertion
If you would like to propose a new thread to discuss the topic of scientific fraud then that would be fine, but scientific fraud is not the topic of this thread, so please do not discuss it here except as it bears directly upon this thread's topic.
