I just made up my mind.
I’ll never again respond to unsolicited theories, unsolicited requests to comment, not even from Nobel-prize winners.
Because in the end, unless I enthusiastically agree with their ideas, no matter how silly, how outlandish, it always ends badly.
It doesn’t matter how polite I am, how carefully I choose my words, how much I try my darnedest to steer them in the right direction. And it makes no difference if the person in question is just, say, a taxi driver somewhere in Asia or an accomplished scientist in Europe.
If you have a scientific idea, do the right thing: write it up, send it to a journal, publish it. I am officially not interested anymore. Sorry, but I’ve been insulted one too many times and finally, my fuse got blown. I have better things to do than nursing your hurt feelings because the science community is not treating you seriously.
In fact, chances are that in the future, I’ll blacklist all such e-mail addresses right away. My sanity is more important than your feelings.
