Although the FE thing is tapering down, another thing we're seeing is a wave where a couple names here post 'Einstein wuz wrong!' rants linking to highly credible - cough - YouTube videos and arguments by people criticizing general relativity without giving an alternative workable theory. I read some of the linked attacks which were sophisticated and just wrong at the same time, written by social science majors and not really physicists.

But my point here is more that there are some parties trying to stir controversy and make it easier to post bullshit under the guise of free speech. Once they'd get that opening, then they could push freedom to post cultural Marxism bullshit. We kind of have to draw a line regarding true free speech and obvious manipulation by faux-naive parties.

Regarding religion, we have to respect freedom of religious belief while at the same time not putting up with fanatic insistences. Now, the nature of organized religion is a whole different thing, seeing as how corrupt many major religious structures are. I guess we should respect freedom of individuals to have a belief system, but draw the line at anyone insisting everyone else must obey the tenets of the system.
