Why not rename the group "bionet.nuttyscience"?
There appear to be people drawn to the prestige of "neuroscience" like
moths to a flame. They are fascinated by it and feel a need to
pontificate about it without the slightest sense that they are
unqualified to say the most elementary things about it--well, no,
perhaps I should say they do have a faint sense of this, hence their
love/hate relationship to it.
They feel the need to act as if they belong to the neuroscience
community and are infuriated by the rejection and criticism their
comments elicit. They can not endure what they perceive to be the
menial role of listening and learning (having no concept of study and
scholarship), so cannot keep silent.
However, they would not care to have their names associated with
"nuttyscience"...
