To quote a sadly infamized phrase:
"Can't we all just get along?"
Guess not. But in the mean time, please keep in mind...
There is nothing quite so respectable in an atmosphere
of debate than reasoned dispassionate unselfish
presentation of objective information for all to benefit from.
By the same token, there is nothing quite so quickly
disrespected than ad hominem.
One side perceives the other as having an unspoken ulterior
motive to prevent them from access to an inexpensive
resource, and they perceive in the other side a desperate
fear of losing control, and losing a source of income.
The other side appears to want to convince them of harm,
convince them for their own good, and paint them as foolish.
Whichever side be wrong, let it be brought to light. And let
the fact be brought to light that most of us do well recognize
that the side which is wrong is the one that always resorts
to any means it can find outside of the presentation of
reasoned information.
Either true benefits for colloidal silver can be demonstrated,
or the other side should be able to prove harm.
Lacking either of those, a tug of war to see whose willpower
is strongest over the other is a waste of time,
except for its value in the observance of human nature in
the struggle of one group's "wants" over another.
So, can we up the value of real data here a bit? For those
into anger, I suggest boxing as an alternative outlet.

tell another man the sky is blue. He *shows* him.
