Would you mind if I made a polite request?
Could you please, for once, just give me a straight answer and explain this to me?
What exactly bothers you about posts like these, and which specific rules do they end up breaking? 🙂
Could you please provide a link to the specific rules that were allegedly violated?
Good heavens, what on earth is bothering you? Here is the link to that book discussing alternative medicine. Is this actually on-topic and fitting for this specific subforum? 😵
There really isn't any excuse for being insulting. No matter the circumstances, I just don't see how anyone can justify it. Honestly, what he’s doing constitutes one of the most egregious violations of our community guidelines, and I truly believe it warrants the strictest possible sanction. To be perfectly frank, it feels quite distasteful to see you repeatedly attempting to justify his behavior through such incredibly naive arguments. 🙂If anyone finds themselves disagreeing with a point I've made, I’d truly appreciate it if you could address it with a bit of grace. Please, feel free to debunk my claims or offer a counterargument, but let's keep it civil, cultured, and intellectually grounded. There's really no need for insults or any kind of low-brow hostility; a well-reasoned rebuttal is always much more effective than being crude.
Is it really impossible for some people to have a conversation without resorting to insults?
Mark Cruz15 said:Look, I really think we need to address this again: food isn't a cure-all. Please, let's stop telling people that what they eat can act as medicine.
Nobody actually said that out loud. They just went ahead and listed a whole bunch of them.
There are plenty of examples out there of people sharing their own firsthand accounts regarding their personal journeys and recoveries. I suppose you can find stories like that almost anywhere if you know where to look, though they vary wildly in terms of credibility. Some people lean heavily into anecdotal evidence from their own lives, while others might point toward specific successes they've seen through various methods of alternative medicine. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, really, but the personal narrative seems to be a pretty common way for people to process what they've been through....in alignment with the specific topics they were linked to. 🤷
Mark Cruz15 said:I suppose if I’m being honest, the medical advice and the whole anti-vaccination debate are really the only reasons you end up getting into these heated arguments with other members here.
It seems like nobody is contributing anything at all.
Medical advice.Look, please stop trying to insinuate things constantly without providing any actual, valid arguments or links that could truly back up what you're clumsily attempting to suggest.
nasilovati.Do you actually have any idea what medical advice truly entails, or how the process of establishing a diagnosis is even defined?Where exactly are you seeing that in the PDF?
Furthermore,
It seems you’ve made it a habit to label anyone who doesn't see eye-to-eye with you as an anti-vaxxer.Even though a few people have been pretty vocal about saying they aren't part of that crowd—not that they have anything against anyone else getting vaccinated if they want to—they’ve made their stance quite clear.
I have personally gone out of my way to reiterate that point on more than one occasion.Mark Cruz15 said:Show me your credentials so I can verify that you actually grasp the biochemical processes involved in digestion, have a medical degree, and have been actively involved in vaccination discussions.
If you’re going to demand that from someone else, I suppose you should be prepared to provide them yourself, given that you’re participating in this debate just as much as I am.
Furthermore, nowhere in the rules for this alternative medicine forum does it state that one must present proof of "understanding biochemical processes after eating" to participate in a discussion.
So, I guess we’re looking at a cheap insinuation on your part—a completely fabricated standard that simply doesn't exist and has never been a requirement on this subforum.
However, it is explicitly noted in the rules that personal insults are strictly prohibited!Mark Cruz15 said:If you possess all those qualifications, then I don't see any reason to stop you from giving advice. If you don't, then you're just a charlatan.
All of this, including the forum rules I mentioned, applies to you just as much as anyone else. 😉
