If you want to talk about reef aquaria, I don't think anyone asked for peer-reviewed articles. That is, if you're posting about fish on a fishboard. But we're not ....
If talking about other subjects, IMO I don't see why asking for scientific articles vs. web-postings is an outrageous thing to ask.
At least when claiming that the articles/studies others cite are incorrect, I guess I'd expect to have similarly scientific work if we are to agree that a theory is bunk.
And if you don't have access to the articles, why are you so quick to dismiss what you admit you haven't read?
Especially when people who have read them seem to think very different things about their validity than the non-readers.
