Debunking and pathological skepticism is banned. Perhaps I should add "if you don't identify as True Believer, the owner might remove you at any time."
But vortex is not a CF list. If someone is a electric-water-vortex anomaly follower, but angrily disbelieves eCat stuff, then they need to shut up about it and stay on topic with electrostatics applied to experimental fluid dynamics.
