This was disconcerting to me, as wherever the word 'cult' appears, in whatever context, there's sure to be a lot of irrationality involved. So I'll just go quietly, instead of any more of my actions to be further misconstrued and for me to be inaccurately accused of revolting things.
Au revoir.
I don't think being in agreement that you were behaving like a childish twat constitutes a cult.
But what are we all going to do now that the self-appointed smartest man in the room is leaving? Who will speak down to us now?

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
