> Perhaps the IAU didn’t attempt to exert any influence over the general public and perhaps they have had nothing to do with the legions who have since been irritatingly telling people that their words are scientifically incorrect, as if the IAU is an infallible god of science and that everyone must heed the IAU at all times regardless of whether they are practicing science at the particular moment.
You see where you are calling into question whether the IAU have something to do with the "legions" who you've been in other comments saying are harassing you?
To the contrary, I was expressing that the irritators perpetually on standby might have nothing at all to do with the IAU.
Are you a member of the IAU?
The rest of that post clarifies that this is a problem caused by certain “armchair scientists.” Members of the IAU are in fact actual scientists, not armchair ones.
