I really thought there would be some people here who would be as concerned about this as I am. Silly me. Instead I am labeled a luddite, an envirowhacko, and whatever.
No.
Not "silly" you; "paranoiac" you.
The issue people are having with you isn't the issue you posted; it's YOUR frantic, Chicken Little, running about in a panic attitude ABOUT the issue you posted. Had you opined in something less than OMG!! mode, you might have had the level-headed discussion you were looking for, and nobody would be framing you as a Lib. A cornerstone of Conservative thought is the value of fact-based discussion, as opposed to fear-based emotional hype. If the facts point definitively to the existence of something that is fearsome, we will hype THAT appropriately, but we will do so on the basis of FACT.
As it stands, your emotional display only serves to reinforce notions about the looniness of folks we used to refer to as "granolas", and traditional ideas about the benefits of patriarchy.
Perhaps it hasn't occurred to you, but you CAN discuss topics like this WITHOUT making that "Geronimoooo!" leap from the Cliffs of Insanity. IF you do that, I think you'll find the results MUCH more to your liking. Try simple, unprovocative opinion statements like, "I've found that xylitol is an excellet substitute for processed sugar." Or "Does anyone know where I can find toxicology data on Nasticide-XXX??" In short, please BEGIN with REASONED discussion if it is resoned discussion that you seek, and do not complain about being treated as an irrational, emotional person if that's how you've been posting.
The Good Book has it right: you reap what you sow.
If you keep the bugs off of it, that is.
