How about archiving the trolls for future generations to laugh at?
Been there. Done that. don't think for a minute that you can prove any
troll wrong. GOPPs will argue tooth and nail for establishment textbook
physics and then the minute one of the new theories becomes the "new"
dogma, they will all turn on a dime and be arguing that "everyone"
always knew the new theory was "fact". And just like your dog who leaves
a stinking pile on your new carpet, you can go rub their noses in it,
and they will simply deny they ever had anything to do with it right to
your face. It's hard to deal with basic dishonesty like that. But as
I've pointed out here a thousand times, this kind of behavior isn't
science, it's POLITICS. All standard political fare easily observed in
any election cycle.
And it is of interest that the very reason I was "banned for life" from
PhysicsForums was a discussion (in the "lounge", not even a regular
"science" forum) of how I used to argue with a host of scientists (back
when they were all bashing Velikovsky's theories) over "the theory of
uniformity" which they all assured me was a "fact"...you know just like
AGW is today, and then later once science decided that volcanos,
asteroids, earthquakes and other major events actually DO occur, they
all swore up and down that they NEVER had advocated the uniformity
theory. Never! Right to my face! PhysicsForums felt that this personal
saga was proof positive I was a "crackpot". That is was "treating
scientists with disrespect"
Isn't it amazing how many people there
are seeking public esteem for their scientific ability who wouldn't
(couldn't?) practice the scientific method if their lives depended on
it. And even lower are the herd of bootlickers such as the Internet GOPP
trolls and moderators of (so-called) PhysicsForums.
