I wish people would stop accuse posters like me of being "terrified", and stop saying "relax, people" whenever someone offers up a new theory or
discussion.
For the record, whenever someone posts a discussion, or a theory, it is not because we are "uptight" or "scared" or "terrified" but rather,
usually, it's because we like to bounce ideas off of other people. We like to theorize. We like to discuss.
Relax yourself. It's not about fear, but rather it's about imagination and theorizing, and just the desire to get a good conversation going. That's
what SCIENTISTS do, and I am a person with a SCIENCE degree. Therefore, I enjoy THEORIZING about scientific issues.
I am not spreading fear, nor freaking out, nor am I uptight. Rather, I just wish to engage in THOUGHTFUL discussion.
If you have no curiosity or anything to contribute, then don't contribute to the discussion thread. But please don't go around telling people to
"relax" when we are just trying to have a discussion.
Geez.
Afterthought...I just thought of this: A scientist without an imagination is like a cook without a pantry full of spices....nothing truly good will
ever come of it. Imagination is the spice of science.
