9. So you find it insulting for people to bring the actual science to the table.

I find it insulting for people to repeatedly push debunked, anti-science posts. It's not only insulting, but it is unethical.

Your cherry picked bit from an anti-GMO source does not change reality. Your source is blaming GMOs for a problem that occurs with plants of all types, regardless of breeding technology. Second, your source posts this piece today, but it sources unrelated links that are months and more old. It tries to connect very different topics into its preconceived propaganda. It's really, really blatant, anti-science propaganda.

Try to be honest, please.
