Couple things you should be aware of: lots of SI posters [authors of messages] will search for new subjects on SI. Your subject has the word "urine" as the first word in the title. This would be enough to draw flies, let alone people who are looking for something new.

Secondly, "rudeness" is part of the game here. Let me explain. What you called "rude" was simply some other person with a different viewpoint. His "post" is called a "flame". There are limits for flames, and SI has a Flame Police.

Thirdly, 'urine used as a natural therapy' could be researched heavily on the Internet. I'm guessing you could find out a lot about it without going to the trouble of starting a discussion on the largest stock discussion site on the Internet.

This makes some people wary...you make a new subject with what appears at first glance to be a really goofy idea and you'll have to understand that a certain amount of heat is going to come your way. Also, you made your alias imply that you already know something about this subject, which could lead someone to believe that you might have something to gain at some point in the future. And you started the thread [subject discussion] right after you joined up.

Simple misunderstanding, I'm sure. Could be worse, though. You could be a giant reptile from another planet and just trying to find out about faster-than-light drive. With a nutball cousin that can't spell and eats humans.

BTW, don't drink urine. It's full of chemicals.

Why don't you have a seat and take a short tour of SI? #reply-7308266
