It seems a pity that peer reviewing is not accepted, or at least challenged seemingly every time rather than accepted with grace.

As you may or may not be aware, I publish care guides myself, and when my peers find an error or misconception, omission or even a grammatical error, I accept said criticisms, and make changes as needed.

I have been following your posting on here closely, and I get the feel that you (apparently) are unwilling to accept such criticisms without aggressive rebuttal, Such rebuttal would be solidified by citation of sources.

I cite when appropriate, have written 5 books and many peer-reviewed articles and am well able to discern when such is necessary; I see no need to cite here, where I did see a need I posted a note that I would get back to folks if I was able. Otherwise folks can accept or reject, post opinions, ask ques, etc. Aggression is an odd word to use, all things considered...I've experienced similar attitudes when posting on this site in the venomous forum..not from everyone, by any means, but enough that I had to rely on moderators to delete posts, explain over and over the reasons that venomous snakes do not belong in private collections, etc...in any event, i have neither the time nor patience for this sort of exchange, or similar, and will not be participating further.

May I ask the subject matter of your books?

This once again sounds condescending, I would like to point out that several of the people who have challenged your views are also accomplished authors, who have published books that are pertinent to the subject matter being questioned.
