First of I'd like to introduce myself.
My name is Jeroen, I am HUGE fan of physics and science. It's frustrating with physics for me because I am very visual person everything is video or modeling in my head, and I have a very hard time converting back and forth so I hope you guys don't mine questions and typing, because I plan to do both of them. There are two aspects to life I absolutely cherish. Strength and Intelligence. I think both qualities are only relevant for one self (personal development and freedom) and to help others, so I hope I don't display arrogance or superiority in anyway, please feel free to slap me if I ever do because I detest it, but I am human as well and make mistakes. I am pretty set in improving myself as best I can, I just want to forewarn, I can see people taking that in negative light.
Now to the question.
I use to frequent a science board, which was a great place with awesome people. I have stopped going to that place because they were just far too loose with the rules. Pages and pages of theories (user-created) that were fallacious, showing incorrect or lacking proper reasoning, logic, or evidence When faced up to scrutiny it was often ignored. It just simply keeped going on and on, in circle, triangle, any closed loop system you want to call it.
I am all for open discussion, and for new ideas, and no one is perfect but I felt that if you continually allow such things specifically on science based sub-fora, you degrade and insult those who put effort into insuring that they are correctly presenting ideas and theories in the best possible manner. All those that try to help express the truth were basically wasting their time as well.
I think (my theory anyway) was that the staff felt that if they were strick that they would appear closed-minded. Which was odd because they were all or most were far smarter than I was, but you could clearly see that wasn't the case. So I am wonder, are you guys tough on that sort of thing? I hope so because I miss discussion physics and science in general. Usually people I know give me that face ( you know :| <--that one) whenever I talk about physics like it's the coolest thing ever (It is, they are crazy). PLEASE be the ones!
I generally don't type essay so I apologize in advance, I know I could of probably summed that all up into 2 sentences. I thought back story might help get the idea across of what I am looking for.
p.s.
How to upload an avatar? I thought the profile picture was it, but duh, it's not...
