Re: The Thyroid dangers of Soy

 

 

People, please let it go! I am in another group where

a discussion about politics got out of hand, and now

one member left the group. (And she was a great gal.)

I totally respect the right to express your opinions.

To some, soy is good, to some, soy is bad. And that's

that. Let's be a group that can handle disagreements

and move on. Sorry if I sound overly sensitive, but my

other group's dissension went way too far, and I'd

hate to see that happen here. Peace!

--This is exactly what's gone so horribly wrong with

USA; opinions are elevated to equate with facts.

Truth is, facts outweigh opinions. Those who don't

adjust opinion according to fact are cranks, fanatics,

and True Believers.

 

--In this specific case, if the case against soy held

any weight then we'd shift against it. However, the

scare tactics and pseudoscience just don't confince

any but the easily panicked. So we seem hostile to

anti-soy messages. It's largely because we've seen so

much hysteria and have found so few facts.

 

--Also, the notion that a discussion can " get out of

hand " is ridiculous. Certainly people can break

established rules, yes. And certainly people can come

and go as they please, too. Any attempt to curb

discussion -- and pleasse note that I speak as a

political prisoner -- is censorship, period. And

doing so in fear of losing one of the participants is

an attempt to please all of the people all the time.

 

--However, I've said too much already. Mundus vult

decepis.

Gene,

I think my comments were totally lost on you; I think you took them

the wrong way. I am totally against censorship, period. I don't think

there is anything wrong, though, with simply asking people to respect

one another's opinions. If they disagree, they should leave it at

that and move on. What's the sense in beating a dead horse?

 

I guess I'm getting sick and tired of people in my groups who seem to

just want to fight, rather than have discussions, debates, and

whatnot. If you guys want to have a battle over the goodness or

badness of soy, have at it. Bottom line: we are all different, and

what works for you may not work for me.
