Anti-woo commentators are a bunch of smug and condescending...

168. Thank you!!!!!

I try not to get into these battles because they tend to be all or nothing, with us or against us; but you are absolutely correct. Time and time again we get presented some kind of irrefutable "science" only to find out later how it was funded, then there's new irrefutable science that contradicts the first unquestionable lot, and on and on.

Being backed into a corner of all or nothing is my biggest issue with several topics. If I dare say that a nutritional supplement greatly helped a health condition I had suffered from most of my life that is supposed to make me a ridicule worthy anti-science fool who totally rejects modern medicine and never sees a doctor (not true in the slightest). Just like if I admit to having any sort of spiritual belief it makes me a creationist-apologist ignoramus who needs to shut the fuck up now because I obviously support fundamentalism, or if not, then that makes me ignorant of the dogma THEY say I should be following if I dare be foolish enough to believe anything. The all or nothing attitudes are EXACTLY what we get from the right, it's what we claim to oppose, but boy are people bullied to hell and back in liberal areas online by a very vocal, angry crowd.
