The discussion centers on concerns about censorship in the Theory Development forum, particularly regarding the deletion of posts that present unconventional ideas. Participants argue that rejecting new theories contradicts scientific openness, while moderators defend the removal of posts deemed pseudoscientific, asserting that they maintain the forum's integrity. The moderators emphasize that the majority of users support the current policies, which aim to prevent the spread of misinformation. Critics of the censorship express frustration over the loss of potentially valuable ideas and suggest that the forum has become too rigid. The debate highlights the tension between encouraging innovative thought and maintaining scientific rigor within the community.

If you'd read the profiles of the mentors, you'll find that we have fairly wide demographics - yes, some have "been around" quite a while.

And while its tough to prove that we don't think alike because Greg choose people who think alike, its been my (admittedly limited) experience that the scientific mindset is a common trait among scientists and engineers.
