Are you a philosoper and disliked his negative reference to the irrelevance of philosophy as a general proposition, I wonder.
I could not then see what fired you up and after reading both posts again fail to see the vibe you say you felt...
And I liked you post and would have pushed a like button if available. 
I fail to see why you think Wavy was being too smart by half.
He was as I read it proclaiming the value of scientific method which arguably is the best thing we as humans have going for us.
Without the scientific method how can we crawl out of the superstition that in the past governed the way we observed the world.
Our discussion re Popper to my mind and at least for those of us who refreshed in our minds as to what he describes as science and what he said only has Wavy off slightly on one point , that science does not proclaim truth as such. ...but it certainly takes us very close to understanding how the world works with a clarity such that a layman would proclaim that indeed it shows us the truth.
Science remains humble and does not make that claim but let's face it science is accurate and exact.
Anyways I remain mystified what was this vibe you responsed to...
And what prompted you to suggest I apply to be a mod I don't get it.
I did not quote rules at you or express any interest in being a mod..you seem to have had another vibe, well that vibe did not serve you well..and to be clear I am not interested in such a job.
I asked what got you going is all so can you be specific and tell me what you decided to read between the lines.
Wavy impresses me as a man who clearly says what he means and has not ever left me with an impression that he is having a dig or holding back or weaving in a hidden meaning to his post.

Alex, you have exhausted me....I couldn't possibly respond to everything in that post of yours, only to say that my attempt at humour appears to have escaped you. No worries, I enjoy reading your contributions and I was giving you a gentle ribbing, mate. No nastiness intended....Cheers for now, John.
