@BrianLenzkes @DoctorTro I give a lot of people a benefit of the doubt in the beginning. I liken #NutritionTwitter as something akin to a general battlefield with a lot of war torn soldiers. So when someone realizes I'm not in their company, I'm not surprised when their first instinct is to shoot...
@BrianLenzkes @DoctorTro ... After all, much of their previous and current experience is of others shooting at them first or trying to lure them into traps. But many of those seem people who start off a lot more personal and snarky will often soften up and have intelligent conversations with patience...
@BrianLenzkes @DoctorTro ... And well, sometimes that never materializes.
Conversely, sometimes an ongoing intelligent dialog that was mutually respectful breaks down for the other person and it becomes more personal and ridiculing.

@BrianLenzkes @DoctorTro I credit both Bass and Hiebert for what was originally much more respectful, non-personal discussions/debates (at least with me, personally). The dynamic has changed, thus there's less reason to try and engage in meaningful conversations about the data and science.
