Why thank you for your broad brush strokes and labeling all scientists in the shape of your way of your thinking.

I know many scientists in this big old world that are no where near as you describe and practice proper science.

I didn't call you a troll. What I am getting at is your complete ignorance of how science properly works or you know how science works but want to manipulate the situation for whatever your goal is. And by the way there is this thing called peer review and repeat experimentation that keeps scientists in line.

Enough said

I broad brushed all scientists as people, not everyone considers that an insult. Some people are devils, some are saints. A PhD isn't an inoculation.

What I am getting at is your complete ignorance of how science properly works or you know how science works but want to manipulate the situation for whatever your goal is.

Is there a post of mine that you are referring to? I'm aware of how science properly works, and also aware of how it often works, and that the imperfections have proved self correcting overtime.

You appear peeved that I pointed out that people who so admire the objectivity of science can get worked up into name calling. I once saw a tenured professor stand up and call a colleague an idiot. It got much worse after they progressed to family origin.

I don't follow the manipulation charge. Is this referring to my prediction of post quality, or because I posted the ID thread at all? I thought I might get some meaningful, well spoken counterpoints and a lot of abuse. I think I've gotten two of the former. And I thanked both of them for their input.

When people see boogie men behind every bush, there is usually a reason. I dare say you are allowing yourself a bit of paranoia.
