It is YOU who must stay to add value here, not the pseudo-science hammers, nor the other thread´s gnome gang!  (That was some spectacle for a new member welcome! Yikes!)  You are a higher-level gnome and some of us here know there is nobody blinder than those who refuse to see.  Some may actually evolve in a few decades. :O)

This disingenious, intellectual dishonesty/_ and exceptionalism are the ET equivalent of the eco-no-mist.  Self-locked into quadrant 17, level B, having an ´on-my-terms-only´, puerile tantrum and refusing to come out.  Newborn ´scientists´, as dangerous, authoritarian and myopic as newborn christians.  Yet, you meet them and they are pretty full people!  It´s an amazingly woowoo paradox, to use their terminology.

I will try to read below this and control myself, but if the ignorant and HURTFUL contempt continues, I´ll figure something else out.

Hope you give yourself credit and a good treat, then, come back soon.

You can't hear contempt in your own voice?

To be perfectly frank (yeah, I'm sure you appreciate it...) I hear contempt in the voices of almost everyone in these threads.  I'll include myself in that, even though I did -and continue to- suggest everyone could be a bit more humble.  

I'm not entirely sure what has provoked it, or how much of it is a defensiveness-projection thing, but if we had a smug-o-meter handy right now, the needle would be off the charts.  At this point I've become too annoyed with everyone to care what their original stance was.  See, now I am being smug...  This diary is a smug-magnet.  I suggest everyone slowly back away from it.

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Yeah, I suggested that in the last thread, for all the good it did.

Thanks for you support, metavision. But I have to say, I am in NO WAY

metavision:

a higher-level gnome

I do have quite a bit of weaknesses and shadows. And the other FP's are great people, and I really appreciate being in the same team with them. (okay, they might have some weaknesses too! At least I hope so.)

I would appreciate if we all could just take a deep breath, exhale and take a step back and start all over with each other. Let's stop this he did, she did - lets let it be.

Isn't Christmas supposed to be the time of love and forgiveness. Let's practice that! :-D

Talk about having a good "feel" for situations... Things had calmed down, apologies have been made, hurtful words have stopped, and you give us this?
