An editor has seen fit to delete every mention of Piast from this article, claiming that what is said is not from his paper. But it is.
Piast DIRECTLY quotes Claudiu Bandea "As early as in 1983 Claudiu Bandea argued that the intracellular phase of a virus life cycle is ontologically mature in which “virus shows the major physiological properties of other organisms: metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Therefore, life is an effective presence” (Bândea, 1983)."
Further, Piast states "Maybe viruses are very different from us, but they still express mutual features with living organisms that inanimate matter does not have. They store information about themselves and have the ability to evolve."
I would be extremely grateful if this discussion could proceed rationally, starting from these simple facts, which are obviously relevant to this article on organism. Otherwise the editing behaviour can only be seen as disruptive. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 16:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
