I assume your comment was intended to prove his point. Attack the person instead of discuss and debate the issue??!?

I didn't attack him in any way. He said he couldn't tell the difference between a normal scientist and an insane one. He said that, not me.

Where do you see me attacking him?

Well, I missed the flagged comment, but from the follow up I assume you think that one group of scientists are "normal" and the other are "insane." I won't speculate on which side (or sides, since I can think of at least three groups from what I've read) is which.

Most of this reminds me of the pope vs. Galileo. Dogma on one side, open inquiry and discussion on the other. I won't say which is which either.

EDIT: Oops! My mistake, I misread your comment. I thought you said "perhaps some of them are sane people, perhaps not". Sorry! Forget all the talk of sanity!

Removed rest of comment as it doesn't make any sense to continue this.
