This started as a well-intentioned thread that has now been twisted into a discussion leading to the rationalization and justification of the disgusting and uncivilized behavior of the "objectivist" tribe. There is no value here. Yeah, but, but,..... the objectivist tribe do have science on their side, where as the subjectivist tribe only have expectation bias. So, objectivists win. 😋 Ralf11, STC, Teresa and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment

Sure, there should be sections as tightly regulated as a Reed-Elsevier journal, but not all, nor even most. And there are people and topics that can be best described as a cancer. I find threads like the MQA is Vapor thread to be a bit of a problem. Not because of the length, or the divergence, or even the passion. I find it a problem because the OP apparently is using it to benefit his own reputation by attacking a corporate entity, no matter how richly deserved. The OP is not one of the people who did the research or presented the facts that are so valuable in the thread. This is apparently because the OP is not allowed to pull such shenanigans on the more traditional and controlled systems that compete with here. Moreover, the thread developed a nasty tempered group of cronies / bully boys whose sole intent is simply to bully people into toeing their line. Not convince people, just plain bullying like a bunch of young teenagers. One must be part of the “in crowd” to avoid their stupidly applied persuasions. It is both funny to watch, and yet disgusting too. Like a political campaign rally these days. I suppose it is inevitable that people think if Trump can do it and get away with it, then they can too. Rude surprise coming when it backfires on them. My take is that the above behavior is useless, and quickly destroying the reputation of and attraction of the entire forum system, and that is where the rules need to be formulated and applied. Note, I do not mean to imply rambunctious younger people or crusty older people or any particular group needs to be censored. Just that the forums as a whole are vulnerable to ill meaning people who will wreck everything built here, without a moment’s hesitation, if they perceive some benefit to themselves.

Hi, Everyone has the option not to read posts of others. Even if you do, and object to the post, there is no need to respond, or let it make you angry etc. I like to hear everyone's opinion and approach - i see no need to suppress anyone's view. I can agree/disagree, or respond or not respond. At least with an open forum and free speech, we have the options. Luckily, in the west, we have governments that allow access to the internet without blocking searches, or even turning it off. Regards, Shadders. Teresa, Sonicularity and STC 3 Link to comment
