Robecology replies on Apr 19, 2019:

@273kelvin My point is this. If you're worried about people blocking you...there's ways you can be more agreeable and have less folks block you. You also have been crying and complaining about being blocked...so my advice is for you as well; -if you want fewer blocking you, start debating and stop arguing. Look for ways to write a post in a diplomatic style. Folks who block you don't care about engaging with an argumentative crank and crack-pot. Sometimes all it takes is a look at your pics or bio...a picture is worth a thousand words, remember that? So lighten up. Debate, don't argue. Post pics of you doing fun things...fewer folk will block you...or keep arguing...and I'll block you.

@glennlab Pence- if made POTUS - can do just like Ford did for Nixon...which allowed Nixon to avoid court proceedings and receive a pension. On top of that, Pence would still have that awful cabinet; and you can bet they'd be in phone contact and Pence would be DJT's (and Putin's) puppet.

Robecology replies on Apr 19, 2019:

@TCorCM There's several reasons why people block others even though they might have said practically nothing rude or harmful ... 1. They're commenting excessively on everything you post...sort of like following you uncomfortably close. 2.People see a comment...go to your profile; get "put off" by your personal info. So try to relax...don't take the block so personally. If you still have contact with the blocker....offer apologies for offending...if you get no reply they're too frightened or turned off to even continue with you....then move on. Look at this site is good training for getting your relationship skills back in order...if you're always going to say "hold on dude" and get defensive....you'll get nowhere. If you say.."hmmm,,,,maybe you have a point" - you win back some trust. BTW; post some pics of you on your bio...that might result in fewer blocks.

@educatedredneck Lay out the facts you know. Support them with references, and links, Then I'll do the same.

Robecology replies on Apr 19, 2019:

@Deiter and @TCorCM; I know that there's fair debating, and unfair "arguing". Name-calling, insinuating "bubble" existence is low-hitting...that's arguing. Debating is just discussing the issues - you almost can't tell the true "lean" of a good debater. A good debater re-iterates the opponent's POV so they know that you know what they're trying to say. Follow the rules of good debating...and you'll be blocked less. I save this "debate triangle" for such discussions.

It's the sharing that's spreading the message. Pin wearers are far more committed than those who hide their preferences.

Robecology replies on Apr 16, 2019:

OK....I've been scared to do "Splenda" because of mixed reviews on "Sucralose". Also coffee creamer...milk? half and half? none? Specific recommendations, please. I found this; The most misunderstood fact about sucralose is that it is nothing like sugar even though the marketing implies that it is. Sucralose was actually discovered while trying to create a new insecticide. It may have started out as sugar, but the final product is anything but sugar. According to the book Sweet Deception, sucralose is made when sugar is treated with trityl chloride, acetic anhydride, hydrogen chlorine, thionyl chloride, and methanol in the presence of dimethylformamide, 4-methylmorpholine, toluene, methyl isobutyl ketone, acetic acid, benzyltriethlyammonium chloride, and sodium methoxide, making it unlike anything found in nature. If you read the fine print on the Splenda web site, it states that "although sucralose has a structure like sugar and a sugar-like taste, it is not natural." The name sucralose is misleading. The suffix -ose is used to name sugars, not additives. Sucralose sounds very close to sucrose, table sugar, and can be confusing for consumers. A more accurate name for the structure of sucralose was proposed. The name would have been trichlorogalactosucrose, but the FDA did not believe that it was necessary to use this so sucralose was allowed. The presence of chlorine is thought to be the most dangerous component of sucralose. Chlorine is considered a carcinogen and has been used in poisonous gas, disinfectants, pesticides, and plastics. The digestion and absorption of sucralose is not clear due to a lack of long-term studies on humans. The majority of studies were done on animals for short lengths of time. The alleged symptoms associated with sucralose are gastrointestinal problems (bloating, gas, diarrhea, nausea), skin irritations (rash, hives, redness, itching, swelling), wheezing, cough, runny nose, chest pains, palpitations, anxiety, anger, moods swings, depression, and itchy eyes. The only way to be sure of the safety of sucralose is to have long-term studies on humans done. Splenda is a product that contains the artificial sweetener sucralose, but that is not all that it contains. Sucralose does have calories, but because it is 600 times sweeter than sugar, very small amounts are needed to achieve the desired sweetness so you most likely won't consume enough to get any calories. The other two ingredients in Splenda are dextrose and maltodextrin, which are used to increase bulk and are carbohydrates that do have calories. One cup of Splenda contains 96 calories and 32 grams of carbohydrates, which is often unnoticed due to the label claiming that it's a no calorie sweetener. Because sugar is found in so many products and can be ...
