I did a bit of research. As near as I can tell, there’s one (one!) paleontologist listed in the Epstein Files as “having contact with the Epstein organization,” Dr. Jack Horner.

What does "I did a bit of research" even mean? Couldn't it be that DinoCon was told about other cases that he is not aware of?

Banning people for being in the Epstein Files is stupid.

Sounds like a typical straw man argument to me. "engaged in correspondence" is not the same as "being in the files".

I’m in the Epstein Files

Maybe he felt that it applied to himself and therefore did not read the announcement carefully.
