I didn't appreciate reading that either, though in James' defense, it
was in his signature (IIRC) and it is generally accepted practice to
put whatever silly thing you want in your sig. For my part, I
consider it trolling to have such a provocative sig. Maybe it is a
joke - it is silly enough to be one - but it is trolling either way,
IMHO.
As for the rest of your post Kenneth; I feel your pain - but things
have always been this way. It used to be the scientists that were
truth-seekers and often silenced for asking the wrong questions.
Ironically, the tables have turned and it is the scientists who all
too often silence questioners. But this is just human nature. We
think we are so smart, yet we have never learned the lesson that "he
who thinks he has everything figured out is the greatest fool".
