I think part of the problem is that we live in a one-liner culture. "Just tell me what to do, don't waste time on why I should do it!"
The statement would be perfectly fine if it was followed by five (reasonable, sensible) bullet points reminding you of how to avoing such exposure. But five bullet points is too much reading, by 2020 standards.

As above, I can't be here any more, even a fun poke can't be handled by the whiners here. Used to be a fun place I could argue with the Yanks (and everyone else) and they had a sense of humour and also an ability to express themselves and support an arguement.
More than 20 years after I joined, it is just too tedious. I hate coming here to see what egg shells have been laid before me so some snowflake can cry and be offended.

You literally just created 2 new threads specifically to complain about other people. Is that not the definition of whining?
I feel like what you are really bothered about is that you like to come here to argue, but people just aren't providing enough fuel to meet those needs anymore (no more soapbox). Go and join Facebook or Linkedin, people love arguing over there, you will fit right in, and the beauty is nobody will care enough about your opinion to ban you over there, so you can keep going as much as you like.

You and I have traded jabs for over 12 years now. Why so mad bro?

Problem? I think this could just be the culling we need. Even if I am one to go, there is plenty of this world that I won't miss. Every cloud...

I'm all in favour of culling the herd, as long as it doesn't affect me or mine.

And rule number 7!

and what about right scientists?
Sounds like the right scientists are not concerned about it as much.
