who lack formal education

All I lack is a degree, WAV - I made it into Durham University to do a single honours Language & Linguistics degree but had to withdraw on account of serious illness. This you know, yet you still drag it up. We discuss here as equals, regardless of academic achievement; it is the wit, nous or otherwise of the individual that drives the discussion, not how many fork-lift certificates they've got. And for all your qualifications in Anthropology you haven't demonstrated any understanding of the subject whatsoever.

but are ultra-competitive and hate someone disagreeing with their world view; i.e., given an inch, he will take a mile.

My world-view is simply that every single one of us is entitled to the freedoms they were born to without their personal and cultural liberty being regulated by a higher authority - or in in your case would be higher authority - in the name of knowing what is best for them. Your world-view is a Fascist Absolutism that opposes such Cultural Realities and Individual Freedoms - and this world-view I oppose because you choose to publish and promote it. That your world-view is also founded on a complete lack of understanding of (and a total unwillingness to learn about) the things you write about is also cause for concern - forklift / anthropology qualifications notwithstanding.
