Don't you ever get tired of the people who simply go from board to board finding any detail in postings that may not be 100% accurate and post replies that point out the flaws. I have this image in my head of a couple of old guys that have been around so long that they are bored by life and have no imagination or creativity left in them and hardening of the arteries has assured a complete lack of curiosity about anything because the slight blip on their EKG from getting excited about something might send them off to the big black hole in the sky.

Frequently people come along with an idea or a concept that has excited them and sparked their interest and perhaps to that they have added some creativity of their own and want to share it or clarify it and sure enough a reply will enter the thread that takes the fun right out of the subject.

I'm not sure if these things are posted due to an overcompensation for an inferiority complex or what the problem is, but there is almost ZERO substance to these replies aside from negativity. It's a drag.

Personally I find science and new ideas exciting, and I don't mind reading posts from people who are totally off base if I can see they put some thought into what they said, philosophized a little, and somewhere along the line came up with a new creative idea they want to express. (Of course I'm tolerant of the ignorant, I are one).

I just don't understand the need to stifle people's creativity... and to do it day after day just makes me wonder what the damage is. So, yea, I'm a little frustrated which makes me sarcastic, I'll go take an aspirin and see if it helps.
