OK, first of all, you asked for my take so I gave it to you. You can believe they flew and had neon feathers if you want, I was just trying to share with you the state of science. Second, what do you mean by "you examined them"? Have you seen them in person? Have you published your data? Science isn't about who has ideas or who has ego, it's about what the data shows, and just hopping on the internet and making statements doesn't make it data. If you have photos or some other data that isn't published that you'd like to share that's great, otherwise what am I supposed to comment on?
Third, and this is really pretty cut and dried, but Prognathodon is in the Mosasaurinae with Mosasaurus, and Platecarpus is in the Russellosaurina with Tylosaurus, so both are found in subfamilies with known fluke impressions. There's only two accepted mosasaur families, and both are represented. Getting basic facts like this wrong doesn't lend much credence to claiming that others are biased against you.
Fourth, this is nothing like the Bone Wars. Cope and Marsh hated each other and would sometimes take a stance simply to disagree with the other. I don't even work on squamates,and I certainly don't care which side is right, but the actual, published scientific literature is clear: mosasaurs from both families have been found with tail fluke soft-tissue evidence, and outside of Dallasaurus (which is really primitive) all known mosasaurs share the characteristic downturn in the tail that is associated with tail flukes in every other known marine vertebrate that has them. This isn't accusation, it's just the data. Now is it possible that there is some explanation for the downturn AND the preserved tail flukes in both the Mosasaurinae and the Russellosaurina? Sure, but without any shred of evidence to explain why that's just special pleading. "Special pleading" isn't an accusation either, it's just the term for when someone is trying to invoke a non-parsimonious explanation without offering substantiating evidence.
Fifth, and speaking of special pleading - Until we find a single coelurosaur without some sort of fuzz or feathers, then it's special pleading to try and claim that any lacked them. Of course it's possible that say T. rex lacked them (and my presentation at SVP might have even hinted at why), but without evidence saying "they might have" is special pleading, period. Also, why Utahraptor and Gallimimus? Neither is anywhere near big enough to qualify for wanting to lose insulation for thermophysiological reasons, so it would seem like the only reason to bring them up is simple emotional attachment (who cares if it looks silly - it either was or wasn't, how it would look to us isn't a form of evidence).
You do bring up some interesting analogies with other marine reptiles. You are 100% right that plesiosaurs are a great example of a huge amount of phenotypic divergence, but remember that plesiosaurs had almost 140 million years to evolve those divurgent forms, while mosasaurs only had 26 million years. None of them could be that crazy different from one another, because there wasn't enough time for it to evolve. You are also right that ichthyosaurs show a divergence of taxa with very weak tail flukes to those with tuna-like heterocercal tail flukes. But the primitive forms are all very early on in the Triassic or earliest Jurassic, and soon they were all replaced by advanced forms with well-developed tail flukes. This is more or less what we see with mosasaurs, where the primitive Dallasaurus doesn't have a tail fluke (or a downturn in the tail) and more advanced forms have the downturn (like advanced ichthyosaurs) and almost certainly had tail flukes. You are also right that mosasaurs _could_ have been like Teleosaurus, or extant salt water crocs, or like komodo dragons. But we know for a fact that they _weren't_ like those animals, because their vertebral anatomy (not to mention their limb anatomy!) is completely different. Maybe we will find more mosasaurs that won't have this anatomy - it would seem like we should eventually find primitive forms close to Dallasaurus that either lack tail flukes or have weakly formed ones. But Mosasaurus and Tylosaurus are not those animals - we have their tails, and they clearly have tail-fluke morphology in them.
I don't quite understand your last couple of links. We expect mosasaurs to have lizard-like scales, after all, they are lizards! So why would a keeled scale be surprising? Also, why did you link to that mount at Oceans of Kansas? That image doesn't show anything that would help you. In fact you can clearly see in it both the kink in the tail where it is broken to try and straighten it out, as well as the displaced chevrons where the curve should occur. Here, I'll point it out:
drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxtac…That specimen without a doubt has a downturn in the tail, it's just mounted completely wrong, and it's so obvious that you can see it in a low resolution image on the internet without even having to go there in person, though of course seeing it in person and writing it up for submission would be necessary before it became scientific data.
