It's not surprising when a science forum is used as a vehicle for peddling misinformation conflicts invariably arise. In this case the misinformation is not the pseudoscience itself but how mainstream science is portrayed.
The descriptions used for mainstream science by one particular individual is totally misleading. If science was a person this would amount to character assasination.
This is how pseudoscience operates. It cannot stand on it's own merits, it requires a whipping boy as a diversion.
Despite the tribulations, I think the behaviour here has been quite responsible. If you want to see truly vile behaviour go to the Thunderbolts forum.
