> Simple jealousy doesn't explain the vehemence.
In any industry, if you attack/speak-against my beliefs/views/plans/theories, then I don't like it. Even if you didn't mean too. Even if you didn't know I existed or had those views.
It's not about science, it's about humans defending their worldview and beliefs. Even stamp collecting has this.
Anything people put time/effort into has this.
