Forgive me if you are being sarcastic, but I don't find this behavior "having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals". This is the same behavior of religious zealots telling you will 'burn in hell' for "xyz" reason. Science/mainstream institutions has its fair share of zealots (or 'crusaders'), and this is a prime example. This thread is an attempt to 'convert the heathens'.
There are a great many people out in the world who perceive some ill, some imbalance, some injustice. This ill calls to them for attention and since they are warriors at heart, they seek out the perpetrator in an effort to prevent the ill from infecting any more people. This is nobility without a doubt. It is not my way. But it is noble still.
