I'll let @thackerpd and @mbalter speak for themselves about GMOs/antivax, but I'll say that I've been labeled as both by Hank et al., and I am stridently pro-vax, and don't have a problem with GMO safety, generally. I do have concerns about seeds being intellectual property...

I never accused Thacker of being antivax but he is definitely anti-GMO. Of that there is no doubt. Anti-GMO activists frequently disingenuously conflate corporate IP issues and GMO science, and Thacker delights in sliming good scientists.

Also, you do realize, don't you, that I won't be able to see their replies and they won't be able to see mine. (I blocked them back.)

That's a shame. I'll admit that
@thackerpd has sharp elbows... but in my experience he's right more often than he's wrong. And I'd bet that if you had coffee together, you'd find more in common than what separates you. Maybe I'm just a starry-eyed naif, though. :)4 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
Sharp elbows are exactly what we need. Paul annoys some people (like
@keithkloor just as one example) but it's usually because he actually has the documents that prove what he is saying. And he can be acerbic. I forgive him for that because he has the goods.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

The funny thing is, I regularly make fun of people in the thrall of techno-hype religion.

Sorry, but I would NEVER pull the unethical crap Thacker has pulled. FOIA requests to harass scientists? Forget it. Baseless accusations of shilling. Screw that. I view Thacker as an impediment to taking on astroturf.
