Were Scientists Fair?

No, I don't think the scientists were fair when they rejected Wegener's hypothesis mainly because he wasn't geologist. It isn't fair because he had evidences — same fossils were found on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, the continents seem to fit together, there is the same kind of rock on each side of the ocean — and he had researched on it a lot so that he knew as much as other geologists. So, just because he isn't geologist, saying that his hypothesis is wrong isn't good.
