Flagging is doing more harm than good. I wanted to see the discussion and counterpoint when I finished reading the article. Except the thread vanished and I had to count on Google to find it. Thankfully it was easy this time, but if it hadn't been, what am I supposed to assume, especially when the narrative is framed around censorship? The dismissive attitude of many of the commenters (present company excluded) is sickening. I'm weary of the "I don't have to refute this, I declare that it doesn't rise to the level of scientific discussion" argument. Thanks for actually saying something to address one of the claims here.
