No, I will not read your @$#!& Script

Despite the R-rating (language, rather than nudity) in the article, I thought it was interesting, and some application to SFN, especially so in the Speculations forum. Just substitute "hypothesis" for "script." An underlying theme to a lot of threads there is the seeming lack of recognition by the poster (most no longer with us, for various reasons) that the many users who post here regularly are giving the benefit of their expertise. This takes time and effort; I know I have gotten some in-thread comments, PMs and reputation comments thanking me for answering physics questions, but more often the response in Speculations is indignation that we would find fault with the latest attempt to disprove relativity or whatever.

 

So to all of you out there, from users to resident experts to mods, who do take time to read the @$#!& script, I salute you!
