Why shouldn't both sides need to stay on topic.
Ah you miss the point. The wikiproject sort to exclude those who did not believe in alt med.
Fair enough, but those interested in alt med are still in a better position to review what is notable in the field. If they choose to delete something, I'm sure that even you will agree that article is pretty far from reality. If they choose to keep, the opportunities to debate the subject will remain.
Admittedly I chose not to participate in that debate because I was not ready to do the research needed to properly defend the closed-minded attacks from the opponents of alternative medicine.
So you admit that you like to take positions on the basis of belief rather than evidence and logic?
Choosing not to participate is far removed from taking a position in an article.
Who said anything about a monopoly? Or that they have any new "powers"? Or that outsiders would not be able to participate?
You did.
"You can establish your expertise through your participation in the relevant WikiProject"
Giving WikiProjects an effective monopoly.
There is nothing about a monopoly in that quote. Building credibility does not imply monopoly.
