OK, lemme be a bit more constructive and less adverserial:

We only ridicule people who are willfully ignorant. After all, everyone is ignorant of something!

But when you explain 10,000 times why something is safe (not just vague generalisations and admonishments to trust scientists) and yet people insist on ignoring those explanations, well ... some of us ain't all that keen on playing Sisyphus, ya know?

You don't like it? Sorry, but I can only do "dramatic". My performances are never "understated", "subtle" or "nuanced". ;-)
