The designation, Evidence Based Community, makes me a bit skittish. I am regularly "down voted" at Reddit by members of its evidence based community. At certain political sites I am worse than "down voted" because -- by not being a political pundit -- I must be an idiot for thinking [blah blah blah], and if I would just look at the evidence. Then more [blah blah blah] about "just the facts ma'am".
          I **think** I understand the motivation of these various detractors. They act like the Republicans That Hate Science but envy the success of science, and hate people, like me, who have a useful, and (more importantly) credible Weltanschauung. Or, perhaps they are just time traveling anachronisms from the 20^th century.
