Ah, the "you're crazy" card. All superstitious people resort to it at some point to try and shame anyone who questions their superstitions.

The LWN readership has quite a lot of rational people, but I never knew that hiding among this readership was such a small but dedicated gang of verbal abusers dedicated to manipulate and bully into silence anyone who presents new and "scary" ideas.

How cleverly you defend yourself against what would actually help you.

Seriously, get yourself a psychological check-up from a competent professional. It can't hurt, and will quite likely help. If you want to be helped, that is.
