I think talking about CDM vs. MOND vs. other options is fascinating. I doubt any of these is the last word and that mankind will reach a better understanding with time.

But the poster in question opened with a salvo just denigrating all the other options without any information in defense of his view. This shouldn't be lauded. It opens no interesting line of discourse.

He did not repeat himself but he made potent arguments (or links to external resources) (in fact much better ones than anyone else on this page) in other threads.

I never said he repeated himself. I just said his opening gambit in the conversation was a salvo that merely denigrated the other options without any information in defense of his view.

This tends to not invite productive discourse.
