While I appreciate the call for politeness, allow me to point out that
science is not really about stuff that is a matter of opinion. This
isn't politics, art, ethics, religion, or philosophy.

The purpose of the scientific method is to elevate scientific models
past the point of opinion.

With that comes some rigidity of approach and lack of acceptance of
free expression. This is freely admitted. Doing science isn't about
freely expressing yourself or about encouraging others to freely
express themselves either. You may not like that. You may want a place
where you can freely opine and wax dreamy about things scientific, but
the fact is that the two activities are inimically opposed in a
fundamental way.
