What does it take to be a scientist in the 21st century?
First you must learn to obey the following set of rules:

 1) I renounce all faith in God. Anyone who believes in
    God is an idiot. The only smart people in the world
    are atheists. The only true scientists are atheists.

 2) Jesus Christ is a fairy tale concocted by religious
    fanatics to brainwash and control the masses. There
    isn't an ounce of truth in the entire bible. Anyone 
    who believes in such fairy tales is mentally insane.

 3) Even though we know that the Catholics are nutcases,
    by sheer coincidence, we also dictate that civiliza-
    tions date back no further than only seven thousand
    years or so. There never was a global flood like in
    the "Genesis" fairy tale, and the world's sealevels
    have always been about where they are today--for at
    least the last several million years or so. Asinine 
    rumors of "sunken cities" are pure hogwash. There's
    not a shred of evidence to support such foolishness,
    and certified charlatans like "Edgar Cayce" or "Nos-
    tradamus" were nothing but liars and frauds. Anyone
    who believes that human civilizations date back for
    hundreds of thousands or even millions of years are 
    delusional freaks who deserve to be lobotomized. It
    is mandatory that scientists reject all such lunacy,
    or you will be excommunicated from our fine coterie
    of scientific atheists. Hold the party line or else!

 4) Since "God" is nothing but a fairy tale for foolish
    nitwits, the universe and everything in it happened
    only by random chance. Humans are only animals like 
    any other animal, they just happen to have superior
    intelligence over most other creatures--at least we
    atheists do. Of course, religious kooks haven't any
    real intelligence to speak of. They're all retarded.
  
 5) I renounce any and all forms of independent thought.
    The only thoughts worthy of consideration are those
    which the scientific community of atheists agree on.
    Any scientific research which contradicts the party 
    line will be summarily ignored and debunked. If you
    fail to renounce any such unauthorized work, you're
    going to be blackballed, and the only job you'll be
    able to hold will be washing dishes at a truck stop.

 6) More than a third of a century ago, while Nixon was
    President, NASA sent astronauts around ONE THOUSAND
    times further into space than any manned spacecraft 
    has ever been able to go before or since. Six times
    they made it all the way to the Moon and back--with
    no casualties, and not a sign of radiation sickness
    in any of the crew members. Don't you even dare say
    otherwise, since if you do, you'll be called a kook.

 7) The great pyramids at the al-Gizeh plateau were not
    built by intelligent people, but by ignorant slaves
    under the heavy-handed whips of the Pharoah's goons. 
    Only crude primitive construction methods were used,
    and they were built more recently than cir. 3000 BC.
    Today we could build even better pyramids if we wan-  
    ted to, but we don't want to and that's why haven't.
    Anyone who believes what kooks like Edgar Cayce and 
    Ed Leedskalnin said about the pyramids, then you're
    also a kook...you'll never find work as a scientist.

 8) There's no such thing as "ETs" or alien "UFOs". Any-
    one who claims to have seen a UFO mistook Venus for
    a flying saucer. If you believe in ETs visiting our  
    planet even once then you must be absoultely insane.
    Only kooks believe such fairy tales. Are you a kook? 

 9) Only since the days of Copernicus has science known
    about the sidereal orbits of planets. Those who say
    that ancient astronomers could see the planets move
    against the starry background of Earth's caelestial 
    firmament is a liar and a fraud. Everyone knows the
    planets were thought of only as "wanderers" because 
    ancient astronomers couldn't really see the planets
    move over days, weeks, months and years against the
    night sky. Obviously these ancient astronomers such
    as the Egyptians, Babylonians, Mayans, et al, these 
    reptilian-brained oafs couldn't think, count or rea-
    son. Just because ancient astronomers commonly knew
    the sidereal order of the planets from the Moon out
    to Pluto, this is nothing more than odd coincidence.
    They were superstitious morons who believed in gods
    and life after death, and other ridiculous nonsense.
    Anyone who says the ancients could think, count and
    track the motion of the planets belongs on deathrow.

10) Finally, if you want to work in a scientific profes-
    sion, then you'd better learn how to "play the game"
    by just playing along. It's okay if you want to sup-
    port the party line. Do that and you'll fit in. But
    don't make waves or rock the boat. Atheists are not
    capable of defending our position. That's why we re-
    ly solely on "peer review" for moral support. Other-
    wise we'd be required to actually defend our ideals
    with facts instead of our routine baseless rhetoric;
    and if it came to that--naturally--we'd be defeated. 
    So be forewarned, you would-be scientist. We're not
    able to scientifically defend our positions. That's
    why we've defined science as only what we say it is.
    There's no science beyond the approval of our venal
    whims. Money decides what is science and what isn't.
    Independent thought is prohibited. It's that simple.

it is probably 'designer abuse', a message designed specifically to hurt the remailer's reputation/existence.

Some people hate this remailer so badly that, for example, they did not hesitate to celebrate the death of 148 French tourists in a plane crash.
Those people seceded from the human race, so don't hesitate to report them directly to the police.
