Being skeptical makes sense. Abandoning science is less of an obvious step. This consists primarily of some initial observations and speculations being shared. These could potentially lead to a testable hypothesis which could then in time lead to a published peer reviewed paper. Initial observations and speculations never lead directly to published peer reviewed papers in the short term because those require work to prepare and verify. That you are responding to some initial observations and speculations with demands for a published peer review paper indicates that you lack interest and understanding in the actual work of science. If you really are not engaged then maybe it would make more sense to allow others to investigate findings to see if they are truly interesting and perhaps could lead to robust results.
