This @sciam article is cringeworthy. For example: “And this is what’s most troubling: instead of taking shots at what’s in your fridge or nightstand, she could be using her platform to talk about...” This is the “Why don’t you write about what *I* think is important?” gambit. 1/https://twitter.com/writingblock/status/1199677634218774534 …

It’s the sort of thing skeptics get all the time. It’s basically the one using it telling the writer that what *you* care about isn’t important and what *I* care about is. 3/

But there’s a lot more annoyingly wrong about this, for example: “What irks her isn’t actually the manipulative capitalism of Goop, but really anything that undermines her authority as a physician...” That’s truly -worthy. 4/

Apparently, the concept that a doctor might be upset by the selling of pseudoscience for large amounts of money completely eludes Ms. Block. So she paints Dr. G’s criticism of @goop and @GwynethPaltrow as a celebrity feud fueled by Dr. G’s doctor-as-god complex. 5/
