nayrt

Well, you've totally got me sold now. What a completely credible argument, and it's amazing how you managed to get your point across without shouting people down or calling them names or wishing curses upon them.

By the way, is there a natural medicine cure for raging temper tantums? You should look into that.

You remember the comment from other day about some native English speakers being borderline illiterate and how they drive non-native English speakers crazy because we have to wonder if we're THAT bad at communicating or if they're just THAT mean/dumb?

Since that secret I have been paying attention to that and it DOES seem like they're just that mean/dumb.

I mean, you could try engaging with what they're actually saying and not merely policing tone, though. Like, yeah, their tone is not helping them out here. But the brunt of what they're actually saying is, "Please stop advocating for the one thing that helps make my medical condition livable to be banned."

I don't see them claiming that pharmacology is bad, or that everyone should be pursuing this kind of treatment, or that this kind of treatment will work for everyone if they are openminded enough, or that there aren't snake oil salesmen out there who should be stopped, or that people with life-threatening conditions should neglect the treatments their medical practitioners advise in lieu of pursuing alternative medicine. All of these things are bullshit, but I don't see AYRT claiming any of this. But you seem disinclined to engage with what they actually are saying, instead intent to focus smugly on their tone.

Thank you for "translating" it.

Of course my tone is going to come across as distressed if people are hoping that things that help me get banned, and it doesn't help my case that I am not a native (not even a fluent tbh) English speaker so their oratory will always come across as more intricate than mine (in their language at least).

But people jumping to conclusions such as: if you 'believe' in herbal medicine (as if that was a matter of faith ffs) then you are against synthetic medicine is so... wild. So insane. It's a purely cultural thing. There's no "us" vs "them" in this case to the world at large (a lot of doctors will prescribe BOTH wholly synthetic AND herb-based medicine depending on the circumstances) and I keep saying "what works, works" but it goes over their heads every single time.
