Can't he see that our main problem with all this is that he isn't presenting the evidence that his 'journal' promises[which has been stated to him numerous times] yet he still feels we have the burden of proof.

The evidence that Thamnophis is paraphyletic is in one of the articles he cites, but his actions are silly and premature. He's done no research and he's not a scientist, so it's pointless to argue over the science with him. He probably just doesn't understand it. What is open for criticism, is his own actions (from jumping the gun, to splitting the clade, to the details of the names), his professionalism and his motives.
