And you think links in a science forum from "ihaveanaxetogrind.com" are a reference to establish the thinking of the science community"?
That isn't elitist that is science.
I went to google.com and did the search, as I always do before challenging people's "facts" and I had no problem finding statements from NOAA, WHO, major research universities, and even a few detractors.
When someone intentionally ignores those results and posts as he did that is lawyering ... not science.
If asking someone that claims to be a college graduate to act like one is elitist then I plead guilty as charged.
But as someone with a degree in biology yourself I wonder how you would feel if you had been asked, in a paper you were writing, to reference
http://www.nightshadebooks.com in your list of citations? I expect you would have gagged first and then had the professional ethics to refuse very shortly thereafter.
Am I wrong?
