Thanks for writing this, Daniel. Your cool-headedness and willingness to spend time defusing an conflict is an inspiring example. Favourited this wise comment.

Thanks for writing this, Daniel. Your cool-headedness and willingness to spend time defusing an conflict is an inspiring example. Favourited this wise comment. Thanks also Weneedlead for actually trying to argue your case in a relatively civil way after I and others attacked it, and I'm sorry if I raised the temperature. I think those of your arguments which I actually read are highly unconvincing (because toxins usually are functional analogues -- e.g. of calcium in the case of lead), but I freely admit that I'm biased against giving them a fair hearing, because a priori I predict an extremely low chance of it providing me any benefit for my time spent. Doesn't mean I'm absolutely 100% certain you're wrong. FWIW I flagged a comment because of the potential harm in spreading misinformation, not because it was uncivil, however in hindsight maybe in a forum like this where people have proper debates it's better to discuss than to moderate misinformation.
