@rtmcknight I think we’ve all seen more than a a bit of that here and are frustrated by similar experiences. A support group is there to lend an ear, share common experiences and answer questions but not to question or challenge any individual’s personal treatment choices or contradict the advice they have received from their own medical providers.
The fact that the group is affiliated with Mayo Clinic may give it an image of medical authority that separates it from other message boards, but as Mayo Clinic providers are not commenting or censoring some of the posts, that credibility may not always be factual.

@rbtsch1951, your first paragraph is spot on. Members of a support group " lend an ear, share common experiences and answer questions." Mayo Cinic Connect provides such a moderated space for patients and caregivers to connect with one another and give and get support as well as share personal experiences and knowledge they've gathered in the course of their cancer journey.
