Yea! Let that poor soul get addicted to personality/life destroying opiates, how dare the other guy suggest alternatives with much less serious consequences, what an asshole!

You don't have any idea what you're talking about. Do everyone a favor and stay in your lane

That’s not what this site is about. Here every lane is our lane. It’s how we grow.

This site is about spreading false and misleading information under the guise of "just giving helpful advice"?

Thanks but I'll continue to call out dangerous misinformation when I see it. Let's keep "reefer madness, but for pain medicine" at the fringes.

Yes! People should get addicted to opiates, that is so much better and totally doesn’t ruin lives at all. Taking opiates is absolute not dangerous at all and has not ruined many lives at all.

Strawman. There’s a whole world between “this thing is harmless and 100% beneficial” and “this thing is dangerous in all situations and will always lead down dark pathways.”

So the gold standard for “dangerous misinformation” is whatever you decide to call “dangerous misinformation”.

Do you have any “Actual Information” to back up your call?

If so, share it.

Asking for silence and defending it with buzzwords like “dangerous misinformation” adds literally zero

> how dare the other guy suggest alternatives

that do not work

So I guess all that research from respected institutions like John Hopkins is just made up? Can you show me a peer reviewed study that would prove otherwise?

I took it to mean "it doesn't work for me". If so, no peer reviewed study is required to back that up.

Well with that attitude enjoy your opiates and all the wonderful consequences that come with them.

You get that there are a world of treatment options for chronic pain between "Mainline heroin most days" and "Take lots of CBD", right?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say by "Let that poor soul..."

We aren't in a position to "let" or "not let" this person do anything with their own body and medical treatment. We are random people on the Internet. I get feeling the urge to offer unsolicited advice even though I don't necessarily agree with doing it, but the mindset that one is in any kind of position to "let" this complete stranger do something to themselves seems a little egotistical. Calling them a "poor soul" just reinforces that by adding condescension on top.

Making a suggestion is “bullying” now?

Get a grip

No, doubling down and trying to insist they take your advice after they said "No thank you" is bullying.

bully verb [ T ] UK /ˈbʊl.i/ US /ˈbʊl.i/ to hurt or frighten someone, often over a period of time, and often forcing that person to do something they do not want to do.

often forcing that person to do something they do not want to do.

Is this supposed to be a rebuttal? Sounds like what I said in slightly different words.

So for you,

Typing a suggestion into an internet page = to hurt or frighten someone, forcing them to do something?

how do you watch YouTube?

Do you feel compelled to recreate every video you watch?

Thank you comment police. There was no bullying there.

Oh, I'm the comment police? What does that make you?

Coastguard?

I revel in how mad my mere suggestions made people here
