The problem is only when expertise is unduly dismissed. If there's no consensus you listen to the differing ideas and you can determine what sounds right to you while acknowledging your lower level of confidence by being extra cautious until there's more information available.

Sure, people yelling on the internet is annoying and bad, but that's regardless of the argument they're pushing. It doesn't say anything about the quality of the evidence if one side is more annoying.
