See, that's fine, it's a totally valid point you're raising. The issue here, the thing that bugs me the most is that they're appealing to fear of unknown with this hurr-durr GMO bad to eat not natural mantra. That is a lie. Most attacks on GMO don't come from some ecological concern, they come from the "How do we know they're safe to eat" angle. And that is totally idiotic and I can not sustain a conversation along that line. So of course, that gets shut down because it does not promote valid conversation.

I guess i understand _why_ people go and promote this line of thinking - because it appeals to the self-interested natureof humans. We are interested about threats to our existance now, because we are afraid for us that what we eat is poisonous. We would care less about some future potential threat for the ecosystem, something that would affect _other_ people (or so our brain thinks)
