   Been there. Done that. don't think for a minute that you can prove any   
   troll wrong. GOPPs will argue tooth and nail for establishment textbook   
   physics and then the minute one of the new theories becomes the "new"   
   dogma, they will all turn on a dime and be arguing that "everyone"   
   always knew the new theory was "fact". And just like your dog who leaves   
   a stinking pile on your new carpet, you can go rub their noses in it,   
   and they will simply deny they ever had anything to do with it right to   
   your face. It's hard to deal with basic dishonesty like that. But as   
   I've pointed out here a thousand times, this kind of behavior isn't   
   science, it's POLITICS. All standard political fare easily observed in   
   any election cycle.   
      
   And it is of interest that the very reason I was "banned for life" from   
   PhysicsForums was a discussion (in the "lounge", not even a regular   
   "science" forum) of how I used to argue with a host of scientists (back   
   when they were all bashing Velikovsky's theories) over "the theory of   
   uniformity" which they all assured me was a "fact"...you know just like   
   AGW is today, and then later once science decided that volcanos,   
   asteroids, earthquakes and other major events actually DO occur, they   
   all swore up and down that they NEVER had advocated the uniformity   
   theory. Never! Right to my face! PhysicsForums felt that this personal   
   saga was proof positive I was a "crackpot". That is was "treating   
   scientists with disrespect" :-) Isn't it amazing how many people there   
   are seeking public esteem for their scientific ability who wouldn't   
   (couldn't?) practice the scientific method if their lives depended on   
   it. And even lower are the herd of bootlickers such as the Internet GOPP   
   trolls and moderators of (so-called) PhysicsForums.
