I don't mind calling people out. I think removing the fallacies from debates is a great thing, but the bullshit artists have the biggest megaphones. Look at this article http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=887768 for the vaccine version of this crap. Too many people are using this particular debate to advance a monetary or political (anti-globalization, anti-technology, etc.) position that the real data and issues are not even part of the conversation anymore.
