re: #404 Obdicut

In short, you’re coming off as rational, and not angry. Also, you’re not engaging in personal attacks or diversionary tactics. In a word, you’re not defensive on the subject.

I’ll be the first to agree that Kewalo is going too far with some of his statements (Trace prozac in our water probably has very little effect on anything). And I notice that you haven’t really argued with any of my posts >> Do you actively disagree with what I’m saying? Its an interesting subject to discuss :)

re: #409 Thanos

You’re not giving me any facts! You’re just making meta-attacks on me, or misrepresenting my argument. In general, as an individual, why not play it safe?

We make risk-analysis part of our everyday lives. “Is this (potential) improvement worth this cost?” The body is a messy subject, and we’re really not clear all the effects of everything. Reductio ad Absurdum (in this case “Will it kill me outright?”) is foolish and shortsighted.
