The only thing I will add to Opihikao's post is the utter disregard Ruderman gave to the scientific method. I cannot and will not support him.

"As for the pseudonym-afflicted person questioning Jeffrey Smith’s expertise, no response is needed. If one is familiar with the GMO debate, one cannot question Jeffrey’s qualifications to speak on the subject."
To tell people, including scientists, that Jeffrey Smith's qualifications can't be questioned, was disgraceful and utterly patronizing. Jeffrey Smith has no qualifications in science, but Ruderman wanted that fact to be ignored because Smith's views coincided with Ruderman's.
