Lotus,
I'm not trying to take sides or defend anyone and I might be misunderstanding your mood, and perhaps I should just remain silent (probably the case) but I think you are not appreciating the diversity of this little community. For example, I LOVE science. I thrive on understanding how things work but you've never seen me post anything scientific at all because I'm too busy and I can't devote the time and brain power to that cause. I have a wife and children and busy job that doesn't afford me the time you, apparently, can spend on research. It's better for me NOT to post anything technical because it I can't glean out the essence of all that gobbledygook - just can't do it. Conversely, I'm very relational. I care about people deeply and crave deep, meaningful relationships. I feel their pain and share their joys and want them to know someone out here cares about them. That's something I rarely, if ever see from you. You, "want to grow boobies!", I have an emotional level problem with my gender. Both of our reasons for being here overlap which makes us a great community - it's not ALL about the research. Again, maybe I'm misunderstanding your demeanor (I'm usually very good detecting moods, at least in person) but I get the impression you want everyone to be more like you (technical / research). That just isn't going to happen. Sorry. Keep up the great work you do but try to appreciate the vast array of different people here. We all have something to offer or something to learn. ...Except for the trolls I guess.
