Oh for god sake alphanumeric. You certainly turned that round to make it look as if it is all noble in the end of the day.
If in regards to ''scientific community'' you mean in the mainstream, studying the science of physics, or whatever, yes, i will need to when i graudate if i want a job. This is the way of life.
Whether you come here or not for the scientific community, i can tell straight away from pure pyschology that the work you are doing is where you are basking in the river of ego. Anytime you can flout your education or even sucesses in people faces, you do so without recourse. This is not a proud physicist, or one confident enough to go about his life without worrying about the way science should be maintained, especially on some mad mushroom trip to destroy all interent cranks - (I'm sure you and ben came up with that together... Like the dynamic duo... except a lot more geekier).
No, the reason alphanumeric you think you are better than me and anyone else, isn't because ''of any ability'', its believing you are generally better than the average joe. This is ugly man, truely ugly. It's one of the worst characterists, and unfortunately, more and more physicists seem to have it. But then again, i know that, just by some initial investigatation that Rpenner was a better physicist than most, but he did not prance about rubbing it into peoples faces, whether it be a truth or not. Indeed, the quality of his posts and depth of information certainly highlighted this. So i wasn't at all surprised to find out he had a PhD.
I'll be surprised alphanumeric if you get anywhere in life, if you don't give yourself a break from all this. Most physicists knew what they wanted out of life, and they got it, not by acting like a smart-ass, but being generally considerate towards life, which can open many visual doors for the physicist. That is afterall a quality you lack.
