In general I think you’re right, women are more intuitive and better listeners. But it’s a life skill and I’ve gotten better as I’ve gotten older. More experience, better judgement, quicker to read people. And the quicker and better that you can read someone, the better you can contour your response and either ignore them or react in a way to get the best from them and minimize the worst.

I just tuned into this thread. First of all I appreciate that everyone is being relatively calm while they are disagreeing.

My only request is that people work a little harder to avoid personal attacks. If you feel someone wants to argue and you don’t care about the topic that’s fine, you don’t have to respond. move on to the next thread.

Discussion and debate appeal to different people at different levels. I used the love debate club in college and still enjoy logical and fact driven disagreements. But I have less enthusiasm for engaging in them now, so I appreciate that others may feel the same way now. No problem.

We are a diverse group of people from their 20s to their 80s. We can’t expect everyone to agree on everything. That’s ok, just treat everyone with some basic respect.

You should have banned anuser a long time ago.

‘people’…sheeesh

We are all worse off with anuser around, I don’t care how many mendelian randomization studies he can recite from memory.

You banned two users that I know of…mike666 and kansel. Both innocuous, compared to the non-stop corrosiveness of anuser.

I find the many studies and information that Anuser posts to be extremely helpful and to be good science. He does however, need to tone down the argumentative approach significantly, and I hope he is able to do that.

I like @AnUser but I deal with a lot of crazy people (my family). Sometimes people have a side of them that you just learn to ignore and once you block that out, they can be perfectly OK. I actually thought that Kansel was very entertaining because he would say things like:
“On the other hand, you stuff your mouth with 15 donuts, your brain gets a message that is all written in gibberish and has no clue what you did, or what you ate, or how the hell you even got to get such food. Then the brain goes, ok I see the bastard doesn’t need my help. Stop everything, and kill the son of bitch, and before you know it you get cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease all in one package lol.”
But @Anuser is way smarter than Kansel and Kansel got in trouble for saying things like: “Apparently i am at the top of the pack. 10mg With GFJ and EVOO, that’s about 70mg weekly. lol” and “But, for any reason I don’t show up on these board for like 6 weeks or so, just make a post saying something to the effect of: Let us all remember our dear friend @kansel for he killed himself with high doses of RAPA, may he rest in peace :smile: :smile:”
I think of AnUser more like Oscar the Grouch (sorry @AnUser I know you don’t live in a trashcan).

I just ignore “this dark conversational matter” and engage with the part that interests me. In this case he pushed me to substantiate the usefulness of the LP-IR test and I learned a little more. I wasn’t wasting my time.

Replying to a specific request by the Admin to stop the personal attacks, with MORE personal attacks…

I wonder if @Anuser is on the autism spectrum.
As I have posted before I have a family member (grandson} who is on the autism spectrum.
He is a perfectly nice boy in his intentions but is mostly unaware of the feelings of others.
So his conversations may seem rude to others but he doesn’t mean anything by it.
Telling it like it is often seems rude.
