"More recently, as I�ve found the continuing dominance of super-string theory in particle physics taking on an increasingly disturbing aspect, I�ve been engaged in two different projects to draw wider attention to this problem. The first is the current book, which I started writing in 2002. the second is a web-log, begun early in 2004, where I have been posting information about topics in mathematics and physics that I think others might find interesting, including a lot of critical material about the latest developments in super-string theory. These two projects have generated significantly more negative reaction than my earlier article, undoubtedly because they have been more difficult to ignore�..

The web-log includes a comment section, and some super-string theorists have chosen to use this to attack me personally, responding to some of my specific scientific criticisms of super-string theory by attacking me as an ignorant incompetent. One of the more excitable of such enthusiasts, a Harvard faculty member, even at one point used this comment section to express the opinion that those who criticised the funding of super-string theory were terrorists who deserved to be eliminated by the United States military. I�m afraid he seemed to be serious about this."

The above exert is an example of the disturbing trend that manifests itself as the desire to eliminate all that oppose one�s opinions, irrespective of whether those opinions are based on sound foundations, or not, as is the case is with the lack of experimental evidence to support super-string theory, or indeed (in a social context) the lack of evidence to support the view that the removal of morality from society and replacing it with indulgence (the capitalist - producer consumer system) leads to a better world for all.
