The problem wasn't that he was too "harsh".

I'm all for screaming our lungs off people who make crazy claims without backing them up. Googology is a field based on logic and not voodo magic. People who talk nonsense should be called upon the fact that they are spouting nonsense, with no apologetics what-so-ever.

The problem is that Vel is advocating something far more extreme, which - if followed - would totally kill all the creativity in this community. This place should be fun, and writing an academic-level proofs for every obvious statement we make is tedious and completely un-fun.
