I don´t talk qm, or popular science, nor do I associate it with Chopra, so beats me what it´s doing here. That´s square stuff. Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.

Sloppy thinking is rarely completely irrelevant. If somebody says things about QM - a field in which I am competent to evaluate what he's saying - that are not only embarrassingly wrong but downright absurd, then I have to question either his honesty or his ability to judge his own competence. Which one is at fault matters less than nothing to me; either one makes me highly suspicious of him in fields where I can't judge his competence directly or haven't taken the time to read his opinions.
I do in fact think that JakeS has taken a tone in this thread that is at times needlessly aggressive, but it's also clear that your ratings are not limited to those comments and are being used to express general disagreement with him, as are your ratings of Colman, Jerome and Migeru in this thread. This is inappropriate behavior, as I think you are aware. Please consider this your first warning.
And as a general note to all the participants in this thread, I do hope that everyone will take a few moments to step away from this thread and think about maybe toning it down a few notches. I don't care if you think you're right, if you can't be respectful to each other, you shouldn't be posting here. Period. That goes for all of you. Knock it off.
