Talk:Organophosphate

I have removed some rather biased matter which is not in agreement with the majority of scientists. It was about BSE, I suggest that until the editors who added the comments can offer up some evidence to support their claims, we should not include the following matter.

I quote

'An organic farmer, Mark Purdy discovered that BSE and type-3 CJD is caused not by a new form of infection called a prion but is caused by poisoning by organo-phosphate fertilisers. {{DiseaseDisorder infobox | '

See [1] for a counterblast aginst this point of view

I find your comments do not adhere to wikipedia's "neutral point of veiw" policy and that both side of an aurgument should be presented for the reader. If you have evidence that "the majority of scientists" agree with your point of view please provide it. Apart from that comments relating to OP's relationship with BSE are irrelevent and inapropriate within the context of this article.

Either both sides should be presented or neither side !

That is not completely true. If a point-of-view is unsupported by outside evidence (WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:CITE) or held by a very small minority (WP:NPOVUW) then it would be allright to not bring this point of view. Please provide evidence, then disagree on policy. JFW | T@lk 17:43, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I hate to quote your own reference but . ."the task is to represent the majority (scientific) view as the majority view and the minority (sometimes pseudoscientific) view as the minority view; and, moreover, to explain how scientists have received pseudoscientific theories. This is all in the purview of the task of describing a dispute fairly."(WP:NPOVUW) : If majority scientific views were treated as fact, and it was allright not to bring the point of view of small minorities - the world would still be flat ! I am not disagreeing with policy - only your interpretation of it.
