Devac Yes, your comments were very presumptuous and resembled a mob like mentality similar to what I would expect on Reddit. I took such offense that I am writing this using my smartphone. So excuse the edits and grammar. However, I am very forgiving and it was very big of you to admit being a little to rash.

I was shocked by the responses because when was the last time you saw spam:

1. Written in the citation format.

2. Not selling a product

3. Willing to defend and respond promptly to criticism.

4. Blatantly matching my name with the website. I am not hiding anything.

5. Reading my other articles on my website.

5. The biggest flag should have been, when has a "factual based website" ever been a money maker? A picture of cleavage would make more money than I would in a lifetime on my site.

Why do you think this sentence "If it's like the mentioned hundreds who hope to get traffic it's not a good place for it" does not bother me one bit. You will see many more posts and unlike many bloggers, I personally write and respond to almost every comment.

Now I am going to be 100% honest. I will mostly be participating on my own threads. The reason being is I want to have a real educational debate. To do so, I have to be able to respond quickly and with scholarly sources. This takes a lot of time. Just this reply took a bit because I like to be clear and concise.

The ignorance on Reddit is astounding that sometimes, I am doing 100 replies a day (time consuming x100). It mostly goes on deaf ears but if I only educate one person or cause someone to think, I did my job.

Look at my pit bull article on Reddit. I provided over 45 citations and was still called "insert ad hominem". Yet people fail to realize their opinion is N=1 and a citation means I did not come up with the idea. So they are in actuality calling experts wrong with no rebuttal but their bias.

My motto “an educated opinion is fine, a bias is not". I guess I took the educator old adage of "it is not just the answer but how you arrive at it". I can never fault anyone for being wrong when they have an educated argument.

Yes, I can let bygones be bygones and understand why you guys came off so defensive. However, I hope you see I am genuine.

I know people might not be as "militant" as the topic as I am but that is why I joined this site. If they do not like my topic, they can respectfully move on. I will show everyone that same respect.

The internet is riddled with so many stereotypes, propaganda, and illogical opinions, I thought my site and these discussions would provide a valuable contribution. To think I actually miss University because of the citation system.
