I certainly agree prosthetic4head! Maybe I should be clear, personally I respect many view points that are not my own. However there are some view points for which I do not think deserve either my time or respect.

One extreme example of this would be the Westboro Baptist Church. A less extreme example of this would be people who constantly contend that Einstein was wrong. These view points usually add nothing to a conversation and often divulge into name calling.

A view point opposing mine regarding future manned space flight missions, would be most welcome though. I would also be happy to discuss the intricacies of various security techniques or the advantages or disadvantages of various technologies. Maybe which Star Trek episodes were weaker than others.

Maybe some people like the idea of arguing with Einstein's dissenters but I have read many of the arguments ( and one can read these very often on sci.physics ) and they do not hold water. It is, in my opinion, better to not waste my energy on such topics if it can be avoided. I hope this cleared things up a bit (maybe I made it even murkier, if that's the case, I apologize).
