Not saying the OP was banned fairly, but to do the devil’s advocate, there’s people with PHD in biology or medicine who still don’t believe in Evolution. You can always find idiots with PHDs, even in their chosen fields.
I’ll go ahead and say OP was probably banned fairly, judging solely by the fact that he willingly posts threads on 4chan
Something like 1/5 of pharmacists believe homeopathy works. How the fuck can you go through that training and still believe in a hyperdilution that’s magic if you shake it the right way and never ever touch it with your fingers because that takes the magic away?

The same happened to me on Lemmy. I brought evidence, they brought anecdotes, and I was the “loser” of the discussion according to the hive

As an expert on nothing I find the internet constantly frustrating.

This is why Quora is so sanitized unlike Reddit: you actually get to see the (alleged) qualification of the OP. I’m not saying this would get to be an appeal to authority, but blatantly contradicting the expert while you’re none of it wouldn’t be so easy to get away with in the other forums
