Chance that solipsism-bot John gives this any thought: 0%, unless you count
the thought it takes to snip a quote of yours out of context and reply to
it.

SUCH AS:

"The failure of yourself and people like you to understand the emotions at
play are a HUGE part of anti-science sentiment. The other factor is
ignorance."

Response:

"If we're talking about ignorance, I can't think of much worse than those
who are so ignorant of the cosmos that they deny us the ability to view it
because of some moronic ancient superstition! (P.S. I ignored your entire
post LOL rekt!!!!)"

John is the biggest troll on the list but he got trolled by ancient
Hawaiian religious beliefs.  Lol btfo git gud
