Beware the uninformed

OP, just be ready with your sources if you are confident in your research. Hopefully you chose good ones, because if you really are in a scientific field (or any research field) you know exactly how quickly you get called on a bad source.
Knowing which views you hold are controversial and which aren't is incredibly important in your field, too. And also on the internet! Probably more so here, lol.
If you are open to learning, you'll just ask for links or an explanation or whatever yourself, imho. There are usually reasons why the views are getting the kind of feedback you got. Sometimes it's a bit bro-sciencey where too many folks take a 'fact' too far compared to the science, but most often they are at least, say, 95% right from what I've seen.
I have exceptionally cool degrees and love Holiday Inn Express, so I'm well covered, btw
Seriously, though, I totally agree with folks who say knowledge in a field doesn't mean a person is a good source in the entire field. I sound like a complete idiot in parts of my field, but then again one of my most prestigious lecturers couldn't figure out a dry-erase marker board, so don't ever expect full genius out of anyone, eh? 
Especially yourself. That won't go well, no.
I halfway agree with some of what you said that got blowback, btw. But I'd have just explained it and linked up that s%$# if anyone wanted it. Nobody's going to just take your word for it because you said it, and in degree programs usually that becomes quite apparent, too. Or I'd hope so! My school must have been much more awesome than yours 0 -
Wow, I think I caused this whole thread :indifferent:
Way to go. :laugh:0 -
Ugh...too much.
I'm changing my vote to agree with the curmudgeonly one who posted earlier.
Some of these posts make *zero* sense now that the thread has been purged.

Good lord, I'm surrounded by ignorance.

The only thing longer than this page is the length of muscle I added between my knee and ankle using the OP's advice.
but she didn't give any advice ?0 -

It's from one of the threads she got disagreed on that caused this post. She said pilates lengthens muscles. The other one was about carbs. :laugh:0 -

That isn't an argument.There seem to be quite a few people who peruse the forums simply looking for someone to argue with.

mccindy, how about a link to this alledged "Attack"...usually it is someone (you) being too sensitive.
My guess? It's here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1156847-i-m-really-frustrated-with-how-to-eat-to-lose-fat
Specifically, where she speaks about lengthening muscles and such.
Nope.
It's this:

based on OP's advice in that thread, I would say she needs to go back to school…or read some more research…just saying...0 -
