All it took for me to be banned for life, was three postings arguing for the ideas of Charles S. Cagle! The person that banned me for life is mfb, an "insights author" with 45 "followers". Apparently his insights are excellent when it comes to censorship. Galilei would have everything to fear from this man.

Yes. I've experienced the same thing.  Anything that questions the brain-dead orthodoxy is banned.

Einstein wouldn't have had a chance against these sheepish dolts.

Meteorology forums are even worse.  They have turned science into a religion.  Their models are threatened.  And many of them depend on the acceptance of the current model for their livelihood.  It really is all about money and about feeding the public a false sense of certainty because ultimately it about the consensus.  These dolts don't realize that consensus thinking was the reason the scientific methods (to which they pay lip service but don't actually use) were invented.

Too many people have too much to lose if the truth about the lack of certainty of many commonly accepted notions is revealed.
