That was pretty lame, RL. Scientific correctness and being an asshole aren't linked.

You don't have to accept any damn belief system you don't want to. But being scientifically correct is not a license to be an asshole*.

Could it possible be any clearer than that?

*Of course, on the Flame board general assholery is de rigeur. I just object to your specific assholery in the name of Science. If you were to be mistaken for a representative of Science, people might be forgiven for thinking that all scientists are assholes. You're giving the profession a bad name. Ever consider the possibility that that sort of behavior contributes to the declining respect for Science and the rising popularity of nonscientific belief systems?
