An apology for calling me a hypocrite, based on a failure to read my post properly would not go amiss.
Moderators should perhaps avoid insulting posters, and maybe avoid taking sides in a debate. I regularly attend debates on a variety of scientific subjects and moderators are there to ensure that others can back up their assertions and follow the rules of any discussion. They generally take the heat out of any discussion. I have never known a moderator to take sides in a discussion in so obvious a way.
I have not been uncivil at all, merely suggested that people shouldn't criticise something that they haven't read. This really should not need saying.
Please, could we all just behave like grown ups.
Please re read the post in question.
I did not call you a hypocrite.
I said that that your posting style risked looking like hypocrisy.
There is a very clear distinction.
And, as always, I remind everyone of the forum rules.
Personal attacks are against the forum rules.
So are personal attacks framed as accusations of personal attacks.
If you think that my post insulted you, then you should have hit the Report button, so that the combined moderation team could consider the situation.
As the reported person I would not be involved in that discussion.
You can still report my post, if you wish.
I will quote it below, for ease of reference.
So you are OK telling people they shouldn’t criticise a report they haven’t read in depth (you say this in several posts on this thread).
But then you happily criticise a book you haven’t read at all? Actually, your post comes across as mocking said book.
Can’t have it both ways, or you look hypocritical.
Incidentally, I have not read the report OR the book, since I know EXACTLY how much fibre my body tolerates (very little), and I will take my own unfortunate Disaster Pants experiences over any historically questionable* study any day.
*. By historically questionable, I mean that Low Carbing as an identifiable ‘thing’ is new. So asking people decades ago how they ate, and then assuming that a contemporary low carb way of eating is comparable is just a nonsense. Smacks of grandstanding to increase pay per view.
