Some of the medical professional sites are requiring credentialed membership, because information shared on site is expected to be evidence based, and they want those sharing information to be accountable.
It is not uncommon for medical professionals to disagree. Since no two patients or medical situations are expected to be exactly alike, there is a lot of wiggle room, so there is an agreed upon medium, with an evidence based foundation.
Leaving the site open to the general public further muddies the waters and destroys credibility. It would be nice if those with genuine interest could participate openly, but we have strayed from the path of civil discourse, and fallen into the mud pit, causing many sites to have to close their doors to the public.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
