    Lovely practical comment, seems almost universally applicable, thank you :). Especially this bit: >If one day you need it, you can get metric tons of it in minutes.

    I enjoyed your moderation ideas. You've plainly thought this through a lot, and have some interesting experiences and perspectives to offer. It's funny that one of your focuses was…

    >Charitably, maybe you've done so somewhere else on the internet." No, I mentioned things in this thread. And of course, so have many other people. To copy and paste the simplest e…

    "Not even not-terribly-convincing evidence, not even flimsy evidence, no evidence at all." I've listed quite a bit of things I would consider to be strong evidence in favor of Exam…

    And actually, let's revisit the prosecution vs. defense analogy. The skeptic is really more in the position of the prosecution. The fans are really more in the position of the defe…

    "The person who makes a particular assertion has the onus of proving the same." But both sides are making assertions. The appreciators of Examine and other resources, are not the o…

    Also, to be honest, none of my comments shows as grey, but a couple of yours do. I don't get it. (I do have one comment showing as -1, previously -2).

    "in case you haunt this place in the future" I've "haunted" this place since the first day it existed (though with other nicknames), and will doubtless haunt it for years to come. …

    I think you need to allow people to be passionate about things which have helped them. Hell, I'm not even as passionate as the typical sports fan. And this is true, despite my not …

    Also, it's rude of you to keep downvoting my replies to you. If you apparently respect the discussion enough to continue it, you don't need to automatically downvote everything, es…

    "No, simply pointing out that it's your job in this discussion to present that evidence" I have provided evidence. (I've even included the unique evidence of personal experience. H…

    And I want to explain why I am so passionate about this. Resources like Examine are amazing for lots of people. And the fact that they are free and credible, is incredible. So I ha…

    This is very simple, though. There appear to be two people competing claims here. Me and other satisfied readers of a free website, claiming Examine is a great resource, and usuall…

    Why would a medical journal cite Examine? Examine just compiles and analyzes research, they don't generate it. Has any medical journal ever cited any supplements website? What woul…

    "But for a lot of perceived problems, there will simply be no supplement-based solution." [Citation needed.] This is an interesting question, actually- what problems is the researc…

    Also, it would be good to get back to the main topic of the blog post. Even if Examine is normally only 10th best, they should be appearing on Google's first page of web results. I…

    Why are skeptics like you usually so freaking lazy? If Examine wasn't great, it should be quite easy for you to find literally just one source that was consistently and objectively…

    Why not do some research yourself? What do you think are some other contenders for best websites to see compiled research on individual supplements (especially unusual supplements)…

    Comment #20680009

    I think skeptics like you need to be asking a different question. That question is "what are the best informational websites?". And after that question is answered- "is Google rank…

    As far as I can tell, it is just one employee, AhmedF. You might be confusing genuine fans (like me) with employees.

    A very minor note on your fun comment- the word is spelled "chirality" not "corality" :).

    Part of the value is just to be reminded of ideas I've had. But Anki can be used to support creativity in other ways as well: - "Card browser" lets you view the cards in various so…

    Use a spaced memory repetition app, like Anki https://apps.ankiweb.net/ or SuperMemo. (I am most familiar with Anki, which is free and easily syncs across phone and PC and web). Yo…

    Those are some good & reasonable points, thank you for making them :). It would even be quite interesting if potentially the best approach to a healthy & wealthy society would be t…
