I’m sorry, it’s hard to remain polite when posters talk of playing with others’ lives like they’re the latest Apple geegaw. Especially nerds, who—let’s admit it—are amongst the world’s worst at owning their own screwups. Honestly, if some fiery language is the worst those muppets have to deal with, they don’t know how lucky they are. Modern medicine and pseudo-medicine already carry long trails of corpses behind them, but at least real medicine has learned by its mistakes and made self-corrections. What it doesn’t need is a bunch holy-rolling technocrats piling up corpses in front of them as well, just because they think they’re too clever and special to respect those hard-won rules that were earned in blood. You want to improve it, you do by building on top of those shoulders, not by throwing caution and lives to hell. ..
