Hmm .. the problem I see created by this guy, which
is real, (from personal evidence I have gathered in my own various travels), is that there are many folk who relate closely to his style. They appear to perceive that his over-the-top sarcasm stems from the same frustrations they have encountered in their quest to understand science topics
such as the two slit experiment. (Which I don't believe is actually the motivation behind Gaede's deceptions).
His rapid-fire obfuscation, (a word I learnt from EU followers, who excel in it), is extraordinarily convincing, as it resonates perfectly with their own learning frustrations and its easy for them to consume. Gaede is quoted numerous times in defence of pseudoscience, usually closely followed by Mathis (another sleezebag).

Many of these folk are young, and their number is growing rapidly !
In terms of priorities, I really do think that the Gaede's and Mathis' of this world, are the
truly big problems, and I really feel that the troubles we have here (which we seem to beat eachother up about), are chicken-feed when compared with the havoc raised by these types.
We should direct our energies towards real debunking, rather than being diverted by the ego-tripping trolling behaviours, occasionally observable here, and merely designed to exploit personality facets which we all put on display here ... out of our own sense of trust in the IIS community.
If we get snarly with them, think of the many positive contributions the 'snarly' types are making here .. on a daily basis. This is the counter-balance we should think about before revolting against those making use of defensive tactics, occasionally being used here.
My 2 cents worth.
Cheers
