Nothing against mushrooms, which I love, but I warmed up to the idea of calling them that because, on this list, they were the most ignorant people I've ever encountered. They were unable to get off their ass and do any research whatsoever -- and two of them were Ph.D.s who are supposed to be trained in the importance of research. They'd make assertion after assertion, get called out for it and shown to have no evidence, to be in complete error, to be circulating urban legends, etc. Didn't matter. They were incorrigible and seemed to take pride in not providing any evidence to back up an argument.
anyway, because these guys lived in the dark and thrived in shit, I started calling them mushrooms.
