I was initially attracted to this forum because of the heavily science and study based approach to the discussions and posts. It was amazing to read many of the old threads and look at the complexity of arguments being had. People weren’t just saying things like other forums, but backing them with evidence to support their statements. I was exposed to so much knowledge that I hadn’t or couldn’t encounter anywhere else. Almost everyday I could log on and find a new study being posted that expanded my perspective. Ray and the people on this forum gave me hope and helped drag me out of the worst health of my life. It’s a little sad to see how things have changed, as it seems like for me this uniqueness has been lost. Now we have people saying “the science gods came crumbling down”, posting Twitter testimonials as evidence and arguing that their experience is indicative of everyones, instead of just sharing knowledge and trying things out. The forum just seems more orthorexic and angry than ever and I don’t see how this facilitates progress in people still struggling.
