Attacking my style of prose doesn't change the facts. Amphetamines can harm the body in many ways, and lead to:

•Appetite decrease and weight loss

•Heart problems such as fast heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and heart attack

•High body temperature and skin flushing

•Memory loss, problems thinking clearly, and stroke

•Mood and emotional problems such as aggressive or violent behavior, depression, and suicide

•Ongoing hallucinations and inability to tell what is real

•Restlessness and tremors

•Skin sores

•Sleep problems

•Tooth decay (meth mouth)

•Death

True! I agree with everything you've said in this second post.

However:

1. What you're describing as "the facts" has changed pretty significantly between your first and second posts. As it turns out, being more careful about how you communicate seems to make you more careful about actually stating the facts instead of your opinions.

2. Even if your first post were all facts (which it was not), I would prefer that the facts be presented persuasively so that people believe the facts--making the facts sound like the crazed ramblings of a stoned person is counterproductive to spreading facts.
