OK, Smuse, I get your point. However, I think that it is good to have the debates in a separate forum. This is how it is done in other forums and it seems to work well for them.
The people who need support usually do not want to hear the debate stuff. If they do, then they will look at the debate forum too.
If this is not sufficient, then perhaps you could request and moderate a parasite pharmaceutical treatment forum.
My question is that if these pharmaceuticals work so well, why did people have to come to these forums in the first place?
