There's so much conflicting information out there we simply must question everything. I get slapped for that all the time, and I rarely give a damn. I have our study hall to hash these things out without fear of backlash.
I was aware of the scam, and alert members to this all the time. I was not aware, though, of the acidity concern, so thank you for pointing that out. It's through sharing and a reasonable amount of transparency and vulnerability that we advance the base of knowledge.
Your last is a great point! "Transparency and vulnerability". All we really have to offer is ourselves. Most all else is subjective. So much grey area... so little black and white. And in giving of ourselves we risk exposing ourselves to scrutiny and even attacks by those whose need to be right is stronger than their need for truth. The key is to allow that to be their problem and not take it on as our own. Easier said than done. Validation is a human need. When the need of it is too strong, the quest for truth suffers at the hand of the need to be right and thought well of. It's a difficult line to walk even when aware of it.
