Attention and admiration act like a drug for some.
Those who predict global catastrophe, which does not subsequently occur, those who do this repeatedly, causing widespread fear and anxiety for no good reason, are in my opinion, socially irresponsible, if not actively a social evil.
I call on you to mend your ways.
You incompetent and failed prophets.
Make no more predictions.
Be silent.
And in your doing so, nothing of value will be lost.

Nine, I am curious, who exactly are you referring to as 'incompetent failed prophets here??
