Who actually wants the Voynich solved?

[Mark Knowles]

I can't say that I have found that is there is much tolerance for different views on Ninja and I have been interacting with this forum for many years now.

There seems to be a lot of various views and theories on this forum, so I'm wondering what "tolerance" actually means here?

Maybe it's partly a culture clash between those who want to discuss and argue as a way of reaching a solution and those who don't really want that for one reason or another.

I think that it is acceptable to be intolerant of some views. I am pretty intolerant of the position that the Voynich manuscript is a modern fake.

If someone claims that the manuscript is the work of aliens, as Big Jim Finn has argued, should I be tolerant of that theory?

One inevitably thinks that some viewpoints are more worthy of consideration than others.

What I don't like is when individuals appeal to authority on the grounds of their claimed expertise in this manuscript. I encountered a lot of that, especially in my early days researching the manuscript.
