I do believe that was the point that tacit was also making. I do agree. I do SEE the points you both seem to be making. I do not believe I am violating that line personally in my actions - as I see some sort of ethical code required by my technical training to not indulge in that kind of woo-woo-wanking.. I also have a level of tolerance there still for others - perhaps because I do not feel personally harmed by their actions or behaviors. I could see, however, if I believe that allowing people to linger in that sort of poorly trained, shoddy thinking meant, to me, that they were dragging down the path of societal evolution to greater awareness and achievement based on rigorous scientific research and technological development.. that I could see losing my tolerance and move to 'brooking fools no longer' ..I'm just not there yet.
