Which is the crux of most disagreements, the lack of a willingness to
discuss rather than just to dismiss.

I practice organic gardening and keep my bees with only Oxalic acid
treatments in the fall, something approved by some in the EU as "organic".
I also argue for commercial beekeepers using miticides and Bayer who is the
straw man for CCD. Usually those posts are dismissed because of Peter's
comment, which hits the mark. If you do not fit the template, you are wrong.
There is no "informed discussion". Pity.
