OT from How has applied science made YOUR life better or worse somehow?

My thread involving sensible wildlife conservation was just locked. It just goes to show how far emotions vs hard facts and truths have infiltrated academia. I just don't know what warm-and-fuzzy stuff to post at this site that makes others here feel good.

This “my teacher hates me” take is a dime-a-dozen, so I’m not surprised to see it. But the truth is you broke the rules - the specifics were pointed out to you - and that’s why it was locked. 

You didn’t post “hard facts,” you spammed us with videos, and you escalated the rhetoric. And I don’t know what-all this has to do with academia; did you think you had wandered onto a college campus?

We’re willing to host reasoned discussion, and the rules are set up to facilitate that. Follow the rules, and you can present your argument. If you don’t follow the rules, threads get locked.
