Pretty much- yeah...
But I still like Salty
I hope he bears it in mind.

Both really.
First- for references, check out right here on BAUT.
Read a great many threads about Nibiru.
01101001 can supply a large list.
This is simply the psychology behind fearmongering.
Given sufficient time- if I remember to do so- I can look up Psychology references- you may need to drop reminders occasionally though... Embarrassingly- I move on to other topics and forget...

Not at all. But what they SAY might disturb me

No.
Why should I?
How about this: When people express themselves, they do so fully aware that someone else may hold them accountable for what they said.

Do you have annotated references for this?
Salty, in case you haven't noticed- they don't.
They may GO to those people-
but they are never satisfied!
The difference is that those types will continue to pander to their neediness.
If scientists don't want to pander to peoples quibbles- So what?
I don't blame them.
I do Not Pander to such nonsense myself- and as a matter of fact- I did not pander to it when I was in the Ministry either.
