What are relativists?

Bryan Wallace http://www.ekkehard-friebe.de/wallace.htm :

"The true scientist must have faith and believe in the scientific
method of testing theories, and not in the theories themselves. I agree
with Seeds argument that "A pseudoscience is something that pretends to
be a science but does not obey the rules of good conduct common to all
sciences." Because many of the dominant theories of our time do not
follow the rules of science, they should more properly be labeled
pseudoscience. The people who tend to believe more in theories than in
the scientific method of testing theories, and who ignore the evidence
against the theories they believe in, should be considered
pseudoscientists and not true scientists. To the extent that the
professed beliefs are based on the desire for status, wealth, or
political reasons, these people are scientific prostitutes."
