I guess any new idea/model/theory has flaws, this means that the only way to avoid the fur from flying is to keep the tone of the exchange civil. Actually, if ATM posters present rigorous, quantitative backing for their ideas, they will probably be challenged on completely different lines of reasoning ("how is your idea consistent with.....", etc).
