(29,503 posts)it's not an issue I'm going to get upset about - I just sort of disregard most people here who use it, as it strikes me as being - as I said - juvenile, i.e., like when you were in grammar school and one group of children teased another group of children. I know it's not a matter that can be reduced to such a simple example, as some forms of folk medicine/therapy which are referred to here as 'woo' can be harmful or even deadly (as opposed to simply 'other'), but (and again, I think we are overthinking this for many of DU's active members on 'woo' threads, who communicate primarily in smilies and lolcat images) at least even when you and I disagree, we explain ourselves, agree to disagree, and move on as friends.
So anyway, here I go again, pissing people off, lol, so I'll bow out of this discussion here. Have a good one.
