Your initial post was spot-on and not unreasonable in the least.

There have always been a small number of China fetishists on FR. I suspect you hit a little close to home.

Thanks for the support.

Anti-technological mysticism is one of my pet peeves.

According to Anti-technological mysticism, for example, a beavers dam built by beavers for beaver purposes is a beautiful part of nature and good; while a human dam built by humans for human purposes is an assault upon nature and evil.

Technology = bad.

Natural = good.

Amoebic dysentery is perfectly natural. Using antibiotics is not.

I know which I prefer.
