We're all self-conciously amateurs (with a few non-amateurs quietly watching from the sidelines), sharing what is of interest to us. Your observations above, while perhaps true on some level, are nothing news-breaking. See: http://amasci.com/weird/wvort.html#rules There have been some bright sceptics who have come and gone because their tone became uncivil, which is unfortunate, because they had some good observations to make. In your case, your observations would be a tad better if they were specific, and about specific claims, rather than being overbroad generalities. All the best, Eric
