You have to let this one go, because there's nothing else you can do. If you go to MDC and post a comment indicating that, hey, this course of action can kill people, the moderators will yank the thread for user agreement violations. Perhaps you are being unsupportive, or sarcastic in tone, or perhaps your vocabulary doesn't pass muster as sufficiently respectful. Whatever it is, the post will come down. Do it enough and they'll ban you.
MDC is one hell of a repository for advice on how to be dangerously irresponsible while parenting. There's the consensual parenting approach to carseats (drive slowly on backroads, but don't force Precious to sit down and strap in). There's AIDS denialism (according to them, breast milk doesn't carry the virus to exclusively breast fed babies). There's homebirthing tripe of every flavor and consistency (intrapartum fetal death is apparantly preferable to birthing in hospital). There's homeopathic remedies for everything from anxiety to cancer. Some parts of the board are great resources (the pregnancy loss section is awesome). Others vibrate between insane and inane.
