James,Here is a good place to hang out and give advice.Its easy to get on the site without jumping through hops(once registered its as easy as curezone).There is absolutely no bad behavior tolerated but you can disagree as much as you want,which is common.

Thanks JC.

It is not about wanting to debate though.  I am about educating.  The only reason I think debate is healthy is because if the person is actually debating it forces them to provide evidence to back their point of view.  Unfortunately, there is very little debate allowed on Curezone, only childish name calling and other violations of TOS as long as it is directed against certain people.  If people would stop posting ridiculous claims they cannot back and that have been proven bogus such as "liver flushing" and coffee enemas there would be very little if anything to debate on here on Curezone.

Otherwise trying to prove something to people who absolutely refuse to pay attention to the evidence presented is a complete waste of time.  This is why I have banned a few people from here who insisted on arguing with me that they were right and I was wrong despite my posting evidence I was right and they felt they were right simply because they said so.  For example, one poster who claimed sugar is not hygroscopic even though the evidence says it is.  Unfortunately he did not understand the concept of hygroscopicity  and wanted to keep arguing without any evidence to back his point.  His whole argument was based on some hygroscopic compounds being so hygroscopic that they will turn to liquid.  Yes, this is true for SOME hygroscopic compounds like calcium chloride.  I have a bottle of calcium chloride that it sealed pretty well.  Still over the years it drew enough moisture from the air to turn to a liquid.  Table salt is hygroscopic as well, but it is not going to suck enough moisture from the air to turn to liquid.  So he was clearly wrong.  Yet, I have seen him whining on other forums about how he was banned from here for proving me wrong, which he failed to do.  You cannot prove someone wrong by simply stating someone is wrong because you say so.  Therefore, the bottom line here is I am not out to debate.  If someone wants to debate I do not discourage it.  They need to understand what debate is and is not though.  Debate IS NOT saying someone is wrong just because someone says so.  Debate involves presenting real evidence to back a position, which many of Curezone refuse to do because their claims are based on quackery and therefore have no basis or evidence.  Therefore, they rely instead on the name calling and other childish tactics as well as banning anyone that presents evidence proving them wrong from forums so only their point of view can be seen. 

Contrary to popular belief I do not go out looking for fights.  If I see dangerous, erroneous information being presented I speak up.  Just like if someone is not paying attention and is about to walk off a cliff I am going to take action.  And as far as I am concerned this is part of "support'.  Obviously though many on Curezone feel differently.  They seem to think that warning people of potential dangers to recommendations is not support and thus does not belong on "support forums".  I guess they also feel that if their doctors try to warn them about the dangers of a medication or  therapy they are being given that this is not support and they need to go find a quack to treat them since they will not give these warnings.

This is one of the reasons I am so fed up with Curezone.  Ethics are out the window here and you cannot warn people of bad or dangerous advice.  And of course, anyone trying becomes an open target where anyone wishing to break every rule in the Terms of Service (TOS) is completely allowed as long as they are only targeting those specific people and their supporters.  Looking through old Curezone posts I have found that I have not been the only victim of this behavior by the Troll Pack.

So I have found other things to invest my time in to that don't entail the stress of Curezone politics.  These are keeping me pretty busy at the moment.

I also just found a couple of sites offering pay for publication.  So I am looking in to submitting a bunch of articles.  Among other things I can discuss what works and what is quackery in alternative medicine and not have to deal with all the trolls coming out of the woodwork to attack my writings with their name calling, stupid attack poems, etc.   As I have said in the past, they can censor me on Curezone, but they cannot censor the Internet.
