What seems to have been highlighted by this thread is that some people have considerable experience and qualification in high-level science.
Unfortunately,(and I single out no-one in particular) this can occasionally translate into a certain degree of what I call "ego-maintenance": my qualifications are ME.
Defence of the Almighty Me is what is the problem here. The negativity and aggression displayed in some of the posts I have read in my short time in this forum have been most unedifying. It is an appalling trait to sneer at the interests of some contributors, and it would do the people involved a world of good to realise their own particular field of interest can have the same criticisms validly levelled back at it.
