It can be *enormously* trying to try to debate, or to teach people, who don't want to learn.

Having lurked a little on these threads this appears to be a statement that can be said from both sides of this debate.

That's why I now avoid the threads except for the *very* occasional bad pun.

Cheers!

Precisely=- these folks weren’t simply just ‘tryign to teach’ despite their feigned innocence- they were tryign to throw out claims, and when counter claims and evidneces were presented, they took offense, and started i nwith the name calling and pot-shot insults. Their ‘teaching’ was nothing more than ‘if you dissagree, then you’re not a ‘real scientist’ (or student of science), and we’ apaprently ‘don’t udnerstand the science’ IF we happen to question the claims’ because the claism violate the science that is suppsoed to support the claims. Then htey further insult us by claiming they were ‘attacked for simply tryign to ‘teach us’ the science- Their level of insulting is a bit more sophistiocated and veiled, but it’s just as nasty and insulting- make no mistake bout that.
