Personally, I'm puzzled, and somewhat disappointed, to find that very few proponents of ATM ideas* welcome these questions, challenges, and attacks (when they are direct, and pertinent to the ATM idea, as presented, of course); most scientists I know are grateful for such critical comments (about their ideas, models, and theories), just as the BAUT rule says.

This theory is now 50 years old. I have had a number of scientists look at these theories over the years. I do appreciate your questions, zeal, fervor, etc. concerning these matters. I would have to pay mainstreamers to look at my ATM ideas in most cases. A mainstreamer scientist might dare one or possibly two ATM theories/ hypotheses a lifetime, more than that he would no longer be considered a mainstreamer.
So don't get me wrong. I do believe you are doing me a service. I'm just hoping that you could try to make this process more pleasant. By doing so wouldn't mean that you're giving me slack.
respectfully, forrest
