I do not believe this is the true heart of forums. Forums are for discussion, not a question and answer situation like a news conference.

Sometimes it includes pointing out glaring comments or statements for what they are, ridiculous with no hard evidence or proof. Sometimes this includes pointing out a persons short comings in regards to a field that they make claims on, or say without evidence or proof. Like for example, I am not a astrophysicist.

If I made a comment (very enthusiastically) that stars are actually fireflies caught in a large film of tape around the earth, I can guarantee that people will tear me down brick by brick that I AM NOT an astrophysicist, and what I just wrote was a big load of bull hooey.

It may not be pretty, but it is a part of forum life, people do not like to sugar coat, people do not like to "play nice" to spare your feelings. They will say exactly what is on their mind. As long as it follows the TOS that the admins of this site have put up, it will stay there.

If you believe it does not follow the guidelines, then PLEASE do something about it, and report it to a mod or admin, and lead by example.
