Things I want you to read
It is not censorship to exercise mature and responsible editorial judgment.Jimbo

This is a collaborative project. If someone is entirely unable or unwilling to work with others, we don't keep them around just because the negative aspects aren't too bad. The fact that we put up with crap like this for so long is one the reasons we lose good contributors and have trouble keeping new ones; we're more willing to put up with trolls than we are to create a decent editing environment. Forget "collegial," at this point I'd settle for "not shit."Mr.Z-man

Aids is the opposite of anecdote: three million people died of it last year. Hundreds of thousands of lives, perhaps millions, have been lost because of a stupid idea, promoted by stupid people. To the best of my knowledge, not one has either apologised or clarified their stance. Just don’t let anyone tell you pseudoscience is harmless.
