Should pitching woo be a bannable offense on DU?

[pnwmom]

33. I think we should simply ban the word, "woo."

It is too often used as a way to dismiss any medical or scientific topic the writer happens to disagree with.

And how do you define woo? Many DUers define it to include acupuncture, for example, which is backed up by dozens of published research studies and practiced by doctors at Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, and other respected institutions all over the country.

At one point only naturopaths recognized the importance of folic acid supplementation during pregnancy; now it is a routine part of medical care and has spared many children from a lifetime with spina bifida.

I'm in favor of banning woo as long as we ban all pro big pharma posts, too.

Not going to happen.
