I'd get banned within a week anyway because while I tolerate imbeciles, I draw the line at 'respect' for fools.
Maybe I shouldn't be saying this as an admin with a position of restraint but, come on everybody, let's all pile over there. They only have about 40 members so I'm sure we could outnumber them in no time. But remember, we have to be respectful also
Respect has to be earned; it cannot just automatically be given, even with regards to authority figures. I have respect for minds such as yours, Tiberius and many others here who are intellectually honest and inquisitive about reality – it's the open-minded search for new ways of thinking that I admire.
Based on archaeologist's mindset for asserting that scientists and peer-reviews are "corrupt" and they need to be quickly eliminated, he's a complete and utter fucking moron (borderline religious fanatic), and I'd probably call him out on that. From every post I've read up on him, I'm of the opinion that he and/or his beliefs are undeserving of any kind of mutual respect.
Based on what I've seen we've got it better here since Tiberius starts discussions, whereas that bigot preaches.
