I was going to suggest you check on someone's bona fides before making a statement like this, but tusenfem seems to have set the record straight.
Still, keep this in mind in the future. Don't make accusations unless you know they can be supported, and especially avoid accusations that could be taken as attacking the person instead of the argument.

First, this is an Emperor's New Clothes argument, which doesn't fly well around here.
Second, this comes very close to being a blanket ad hominem directed at anyone who doesn't agree with you. As a Moderator, I cannot do anything about the former, but I can insist that you stay away from the latter.

No call for this.
