Exactly! Pro *AND* con. Why do the pros want the debunkers to leave? Why
do they want to stifle free and open discourse?

You didn't read it all.......again.
Flames, name-calling, and abusive behavior in general (from either
side) are not welcome.
Ginseng calms and normalizes the mental processes.

Gosh dave, your ginseng sure doesn't make you many friends though, does it?
You are universally despised wherever you go.

misc.health.alternative is a newsgroup for general non-technical
discussion (pro *and* con) of health care and therapies which are
alternative, complementary, or not commonly accepted by Western
scientific medicine.

So any time someone says anything "con," why do the alties get into such
an uproar?

Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to): acupuncture,
Alexander technique, alternative cancer therapies, aromatherapy,
ayurveda, chiropractic, color therapy, healing, herbalism, holistic
dentistry, holistic medicine, homeopathy, hypnosis, iridology,
macrobiotics, meditation, megavitamin therapy, midwifery, naturopathy,
natural vision improvement (Bates method, etc.), osteopathy,
radiesthesia, reflexology, shiatsu and do-in, traditional medicine
(Arab, Chinese, Native American, etc.), and yoga.

Flames, name-calling, and abusive behavior in general (from either
side) are not welcome, but constructive criticisms and arguments are
encouraged, with the caveat that misc.health.alternative is to be a
generally non-technical consumer level discussion group.

Yeah, well, it's an unmoderated newsgroup. There's nothing that can be
done to stop off-topic posts.

It would seem to me that that's not true. Abusive comments form the
"pro" side are tolerated (even defended), even blatantly anti-Semitic
comments, such as DEBBEE wondering whether [censored] was right about the
Jews. Any criticism from the "con" side causes the alties to whine to
high heaven.

Blatant anti-semitism by some of the alties is either ignored or
supported by the other alties.
