You left out the important part

There's probably not a single person who will ever see Lindy's post whose decision to vaccinate, or not, will be swayed by it.


You may object, of course, to what you think is misinformation on the perceived dangers of thimerosol. And yes, I welcome whatever information you may have on the subject. Feel free to post it in a new thread -- and make sure, if possible, to include information regarding the source of the funding for the study or studies.

I will ask you, however, as a personal favor to me -- Frank may speak for himself, as I have no idea what his thoughts are -- to readjust the pressure required to activate your hair-trigger. Too often, lately, I have had to deal with the aftermath of what has been widely perceived as an ad hoc extension of your moderation to boards other than the one you have been assigned.

To use this current instance as an example, I refer you to the line quoted above. Keep in mind: [a] the context of Lindy's post; [b] the possibility that anyone who reads it will understand it as one person's opinion only; [c] the fact that, without the word "thimerosol" in the subject line, a search engine spider will not list Lindy's post; [d] the relative importance of Habitable Zone in the larger world; [e] the salient fact that you are not the PseudoScience Police -- except on the Space board.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
