The person -- OP -- is effectively saying that people make bad choices and end up with cancer.  [/quote]

Sorry, it took me a while to work my way through this. I'm not sure if you realized, but you linked to your own post. I assume that you are referring to the long post that is quoted in the message to which you linked? My understanding of that post is that the poster is referring to one specific type of cancer and providing suggestions for reducing risk. I am not sure what is controversial about that and I do not agree that it is blaming the people who have cancer for their cancer. I do realize that this is a sensitive topic to many and that some readers may interpret things differently than I do, but I don't feel that thread requires any intervention from me.

I am sorry -- I screwed up the links.  the ones that bothered me were at 02/01/2016 21:11; [Post New]02/02/2016 06:07; and 02/04/2016 06:02.  In all three of these posts, they suggest that the dominant factor in cancer is lifestyle.[/quote]

The first one says this (in part):

"A major cause of cancer is [/b]lifestyle[b], years of living. Or genetics,"

I'm not sure what the issue is with that one.

The second one says:

"You're the only one "blaming the victim" on this thread, 5:54. Are you profiting from the cancer epidemic, by any chance?"

We could have done without that post, but it doesn't suggest that the dominant factor in cancer is lifestyle. Moreover, there is a very substantive reply to it that I would also need to remove. I think it is better to leave it.

The third one contributed nothing (though I still don't think it suggested that the dominant factor in cancer is lifestyle) and I have removed it.
