user_id, how can you continue to deny that dieticians are experts in nutrition when the definition of a dietician is not only available with a google search (and not one that gives conflicting definitions) and when the definition was pointed out to you.
Can you please refer to what I've actually said? I claim that dietitians are not experts in nutritional science because, for one, they aren't even scientists. In terms of being an "expert in nutrition", that is going to hinge on what you mean by "expert". In the common language sense they would be concerned an "expert".....but in an academic sense, no, they aren't an expert.....one only needs a bachelors degree to become a dietitian. Are nurses experts in medical science?
You were warned that if you wanted to continue this you should start another thread on the topic. It was pretty explicit. You were not forbidden from discussing it, but from continuing in this thread as you have been. The assertion is made to discredit credible experts you don't like; it's actually common to the pseudoscience alt-health community, but it's not acceptable to spread this around the forum, particularly without engaging with a real argument on it when confronted with your claims.
If anybody wants to discuss the matter of whether dietitians are experts in nutrition, he or she may start a thread on it and provide an actual argument beyond bald assertions.

Your claim was meant to discredit a credible source. if you have a problem with the source, provide another source, or examine the source itself and make a counter argument on the merits of the claims themselves.

This is a formal warning: continuing to assert this point in this thread will result in banning.
If you start another account, behave better next time and engage properly with discussion.
Details on etiquette will be posted soon-ish.

Haha.....yes, I'm forbidden from mentioning it but other members can talk about it and make accusations.

Anyhow, one just has to laugh about this forum.....a moderator who is obviously poorly educated in science and philosophy is going to moderate on the the basis of his understanding of other people's arguments....all the while making one stupid argument after another and getting the fundamentals of scientific methodology all wrong.

Details on etiquette won't matter.....so long as you absurdly moderate and ban people on the basis of your understanding of what people are saying this forum will be nothing more than another vegan echo-chamber pile of shit.

In any case, I don't give a shit about what you consider "proper discussion" and am happy to leave you to your delusions.....I'm interested in actual philosophic and scientific discourse.

It's not that you were forbidden to talk about it, you just weren't supposed to on this topic.
