Same here: No financial interests involved! If anything, the Voynich is often a distraction when I should really be working on other things!
I've never seen any sort of abuse going on here, and I'm pretty sure the forum rules, and indeed its very structure with the reputation/rating system are a great way of keeping that in check while guaranteeing freedom of speech.
I'm sorry, Diane, that you feel that there is any sort of Voynich theory-clique: all I have seen here is open-mindedness and tolerance.
I think it is a good thing that our ideas, our premises and views, can be questioned by others.
Of course, we all have our temperaments, and naturally, we can adamantly defend our conclusions when we feel its necessary.
Sometimes even a heated exchange can lead to a new inspiration or to considering options we hadn't before.
Just as in life itself, people can be more or less courteous, or even unpleasant to chat with: but thankfully we don't live in a world where that's forbidden!
