      I wonder how Dr. Noorchashm would handle it if he were in your situation, having responded to and debunked RFK jr.’s misrepresentations for over 15 years. I suspect, given his behavior here, he would be a lot less matter of fact and analytic than you are on new articles.

      Ppl who do not know the background only know the feel of what they are observing is if they know none of the facts. . New age gurus tend to do a better job at trying to be careful of the feel they leave ppl with than skeptics do. Gorski is beyond frustrated which pp take as mad.

      We tend not to listen to ppl who are mad all the time and some groups have been pretrained by those exploiting them that it means their critics are just negative and to be avoided if they give over-the-top criticism.

      Who is this “we”? Because people do listen to and turn to Dr. Gorski for rebuttals. Look at the timelines of the people speaking for RFK jr. at least one was clearly sympathetic for a long time.

      In other words, when you’re taking his “I’m listening to RFK jr. because he’s more polite” at fave value, you may be misled.

      Replying to @doritmi @DesireeSeattle and

      Those of us who have countered disinformation for a long time are well familiar with conspiracy theorists and cranks using "civility" as a weapon, characterizing their critics as "angry" or "uncivil" in order to try to discredit them in the eyes of others.

      Replying to @gorskon @doritmi and

      Indeed, disingenuous appeals to "civility" and "politeness" are an intentional tactic used by those peddling disinformation in order to attack those who criticize them and refute their lies and disinformation.

      Replying to @gorskon @doritmi and

      Similarly, ideologues often use anger or "lack of civility" in those providing information, evidence, and data that disconfirm their preexisting beliefs as a convenient excuse to reject having to engage with that disconfirming evidence or take it seriously.

      This is a tactic not limited to quacks and antivaxxers. It's often a tactic wielded against minorities agitating for change, against racism, and for equal rights.

      Seriously? If you don't believe me, just ask some of the physicians of color on #medtwitter, to start with. It's a very obvious tactic that's long been deployed. It's also been used against women, who are portrayed as "hysterical" (a sexist trope) and thus not reasonable.

          See the accusation directed against minority members that they’re being “loud”. In a clear effort to silence them.

          And, unfortunately, quite effective at silencing them and at tarnishing their reputation.
