When some of us post opinions and we don't like the responses, we have to debate the knowledge. We don't have the benefit of telling people things that will censor them such as suspensions. |
When a certain group/type of posts/threads is consistently being disparaged - then yes, something eventually does have to be said publicly -- and yes, we do need reminders that suspensions will happen if the behavior doesn't change. If you see that as a threat, I can't change that feeling for you.
And yes, YT most definitely IS accepting of almost all opinions here -- that's the whole point of all this -- that we need to accept that there *are* people here who are interested in holistic/natural treatments and they have a right to post about those interests without them and their info being denigrated as "less than".
The scientific folks need to accept that there are holistic folks here and vice versa. Neither group needs to hide, nor be un-opinionated - as long as they try to remain respectful.

And this is exactly why this all needed to be said -- bc there is *no* reason these threads should turn "toxic".
I really don't want to debate all this either. In fact, I hate it - bc everyone gets so riled up. Hopefully we can just get this all out there and keep moving forward in a more positive manner though.
