Yet again, the anti-science folks win via, well, I don't know what.

My post was deleted for asking someone when he had decided to care about responsibility.

I suppose that could be taken as a personal attack. On the other hand, if context is considered, there is no way that it is a personal attack. This poster has repeatedly pushed supplements on the health forum, breaking the rules over and over again. That's reality. He doesn't care about responsibility. Thus, asking him that question is not a personal attack. It is a real question. It deserves an answer. If DU can't get beyond the popularity of the dishonest alt-med crowd, and allow evidence to be the true arbiter of discussion, then I have to wonder where else DU is letting things slide. That saddens me to no end.

It's like DU is just fine letting the "Health" forum turn into the "Health Scam" forum. Really? And please don't try to convince anyone that anything has really been done to change that. Because the evidence is clear.

1. It sounds like a personal attack.

We don't have an exception for "if you think it's true."
