Jeez, I have see this kind of stuff so many times over the years, it's so predictable I could probably even make a business out of it. So, just my observations:
From the GMO thread on Big Island Chronicle
http://www.bigislandchronicle.com/2013/1...ent-354747
Someone (Obie) posts a link to http://debunkingdenialism.com/2013/08/25...activists/ which is full of references to peer reviewed scientific papers. That gets ignored. Then there's a lot of stuff about corporations and companies while the science is ignored, perhaps because it's inconvenient. Wait a few days and then there's another request for scientific data - perhaps people have now forgotten what was posted earlier.
In response to another request from the anti-GMO folk, Obie points out he's already posted a link to studies but provides another one:
http://www.bostonreview.net/forum/pamela...d-gmo-food
which of course gets ignored because it doesn't support the anti-GMO folk's position. But, in the meantime, in an attempt to distract people from the facts of the argument, suddenly people's screenames are being called into question despite what points they make while other shill anti-GMO people make childish fun of people's real names in the BIC thread.
Yep, seen it all before.
Edited for a typo.
