And now VoS is banned... why was he banned Charlie?

I feel like people don't get Gummybear's sense of humour. Same with Anon/J.

It's a real loss to the community when some of the people with the most thought provoking posts and experience with Ray's work end up getting banned. We are much worse off without them.

I agree.

The worst part about is, we won't be able to access them anymore. It sucks. I value them, warts and all.

All is not lost, gretchen.
Apparently j. and gummy are here.
With us now even as you read this.... :)

He'll start making the furniture fly around
and make you believe Cliven Bundy is under your bed.
But I will act as a decoy
and draw his fire
by posting quotes by Paul Krugman. ;)

And now Wheat & PUFAs is banned as well. Talk about ruling with an iron fist...

Why was this thread locked?

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2992&p=81723&hilit=shred+of+evidence#p81723

Can people not question or have a discussion about anything that may disagree with Peat?

Okay chris, let me get this straight.
You're saying
PUFA is arguably the centerpiece of Peat dietary advice.

And yet, it can not be discussed.
It is deemed undebatable.
Its discussion is banned.

And you think that is a bad thing.

Is that right?

The peatarian community keeps becoming more and more cultish. Severe OCD on every little thing that Ray says and completely shun out any little thing that might disagree with his theory and ideas. Ray himself has said that he doesn't read the forums. If he knew what was going on with his ideas in the community as a whole, he probably would be really disappointed. you guys took his ideas and completely ran other the direction with it. What happened to context and keeping an open mind?

Okay Anthony, with your 10 posts,
thank you very much for your input.
I'm sure you've carefully prepared to make such a vast review of the forum.
All I can do is offer profound apologies.
I'm sleepy now so bye bye 'til later....

Why are you disregarding him because he has 10 posts? This place has gone to ***t.

I may only have 10 post but I rarely use this account. I have been reading rays work and experimenting with his ideas as well as reading this forum and the community as a whole since 2012.

Just my honest reaction.
If you want to complain about the forum's management Chris,
I'll be likely to listen
because you've been around for years
and have contributed.

Somebody just pops their head in here
and makes sweeping criticisms--
I'm sorry but it rubs me the wrong way.

I felt the community was developing to more mature and open minded direction. Maybe we interpret or remember differently.

The focus on how this place is run has little scope outside of wanting an enjoyable forum to partake in. The thoughts of Ray Peat do not imply a place, or time, or theory. While this may be a forum about Ray Peat, it certainly is not a "Ray Peat Forum". There is not a community as much as there are perpetrators of a misunderstanding.
What there actually is, is a group of organisms (humanity) who are endowed with the ability to make this distinction, and who do so in different amounts. The fact that the choice of doing so might be contagious is another matter.

I'm gonna have to fisk you on this, my friend! :D

Peat lives in Eugene, Oregon and in Mexico;
he was born probably in the 1930's and is alive now in 2015;
and he has numerous theories, especially about nutrition--
for instance, he has a theory that PUFA is bad for people.

If you type Ray Peat Forum into Google you will arrive at
this very Ray Peat Forum.
I consider this proof positive that this is a Ray Peat Forum.

I will agree with you that this forum's membership is composed of human organisms.
But I can't go along with you that those human organisms
make the distinction between
a forum about Ray Peat
or
a "Ray Peat Forum."
See point #2 for elucidation.

I do not agree that it is a "fact"
that us human organisms here on this website
have a choice in distinguishing between this being
a forum about Ray Peat
or
a Ray Peat forum.
There is no distinction.
Therefore there can be no choice available to distinguish such entities,
and there is no contagion because there is no choice to distinguish.
See #3 above for illumination.

In conclusion, I will offer this speculation:
You're stoned!
Again!!
:D
