I struggle a little with the inclusion of ratbags.com as a medical resource. No matter what this person thinks they are doing, they are not teaching, nor legitimately debunking anything. They are snide, hateful, and inhuman in their approach.
I have to say that I am not surprised by their approach, because, particularly in the case of vaccination, those who don't get why anyone would question it are often rude and degrading in their approach to those who do.
I am less likely now to look for information about anything in the so-called Anti-Quackery Webring due to association and am recommending that my child's science book resources remove it as a link due to the extreme negative nature.
Intelligent discourse on a subject is more likely to open eyes if that is the desire. This kind of nastiness shows nothing but disdain for the reader should they dare be of a differing view and for that reader to become equally enraged, to find a way to bring its offensive and therefore questionable nature to the attention of those who might be injured by association (my route), or to simply disregard it as "another hater".
That said, I value all opinions when they are expressed in a palatable fashion, or at least when they don't potentially alienate the reader / degrade an entire sector of society. To me this equals bigotry of a heinous nature, reflecting the writer's view that some people don't deserve to live free or possibly even live at all. (That's what I got from it.)
I would highly recommend, unless it is being used as an example of a quackery site, that ratbags.com be removed from this webring.
