Kevin: "As a fellow Christian I beseech you, in the name of Christ, it is better to bless those who curse you and to return evil with good. Don't give in to the temptation to mistreat people simply because they are your adversaries. Treat people with respect regardless of how they treat you, and thus demonstrate that you are the better man."
And as a 'fellow' scientist I urge Joseph not to fall for the argument ad hominem.
