Can we get the harasser's off this board?

Question:

mage? what’s mage?–rb From Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :   Mage Mage, n. [F. mage. See Magi.]      A magician. [Archaic] –Spenser. Tennyson. It’s a typo he meant Mega.

  So he’s not coondemned?–rb

Response:

NO DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, SHALL BE CONVEYED BY MESSAGES IN THIS NEWSGROUP. Have I ever stated or implied otherwise? As far as I am aware, No, you have not.

However you have made this statement: However, a far bigger problem than people who might pass up on alternative medicine because of what the sceptics write here, are people who might take some of the drivel by some alt.med proponents serious and go and have all their silver fillings removed, RCT teeth extracted, eating mage doses of fat-soluble vitamins or diagnose heart-failure by being looked deep into their eyes….

By that, you have defined your mha role as both predatory and suppressive. Yet you are not consistent in that self-designated role. If you truly believed that there was such a "moral justification" for the role, then where are your posts regarding Urine Therapy? UT is an actual practice among certain alt medders, such that they are prepared to avoid recommended medical treatment for certain cancers in favour of UT.   Yet you are not speaking out against it, despite what you have written above. In particular, UT involves ingesting those toxic chemicals and metals such as Hg, lead, cadmium, etc, which the same people are advocating removing from the body. Why is it that someone who advocates removal of amalgams, for example, also defends the UT proponent?   Why is such an obvious discrepancy overlooked by such as yourself who purport to be here to "Save" people from the dangers of a.m? Similar inconsistencies are evident in both "sides" of debate as you would present it. "Sides" is in quotes as, being an advocate of complementary rather than "alternative" med, I see the entrenching of two opposing "sides" as being less than helpful for discussion, most times.

Response:

  Your wish to protect me and others is not wanted, is paternalistic. Go away. Your wish to remain a delusional ass-clown, ever adrift in urine is not wanted, is perverted.  Grow up.

It is YOUR perverted sick mind that keeps thinking that UT has anything to do with your twisted ideas. Your continual semi sexual innuendo’s show clearly that you hold secret fantasies about having a sexual encounter where urine is used to excite you.  So go for it. Please do stay away from the computer till after you stop orgasmic quivering

Response:

  There are certain people in this group who are continuously virulently opposed to alternative medicine and do nothing but downgrade it in the most scathing manner possible all the time.

Top marks for use of hyperbole without actually lying. It waste our time defending ourselves against their baseless attacks and possibly frightens away those timid souls who might otherwise want to post or ask questions in an atmosphere of reassuring acceptance

That would be a support group.  Which this isn’t. hiding the fact that they are straight from groups and organizations dedicated to outlawing and banning alternative medicine in the first place!!!!! This is surely harassment.

Top marks for portrayal of a paranoid lunatic.   Also there are people that through their propaganda might possibly believe their lies and hooey and decide not to take some life saving alternative treatment-(such as chelation)- and die far earlier than necessary or at least be in poorer health as a result.

Yayah!  What he said!  I note that you have been utterly unable to defend any "life saving alternative" you’ve discussed except for resorting to insults and attempts at censorship of views you disagree with.   What i’d like to know is…..do we have to put up with the harassment of these deceitful fools and wouldn’t it be better if they were gone from this board? Is this a good idea and is there any way to do it?–rb

No.  But thanks for demonstrating the use of rhetorical questioning to indicate, most succinctly, that http://versionfiv.com/youare.swf moo

You mean the ones that post like this? "Dear Peter–concerning this, you need to have you’re If i could get my hands on you i’d pound your obnoxious head to a pulp. Scumbag!–rb" It waste our time defending ourselves against their baseless attacks and possibly frightens away those timid souls who might otherwise want to post or ask questions in an atmosphere of reassuring acceptance rather than one of vicious condemnatory ridiculing,

This is for DISCUSSION, which means presenting opinions and the facts behind those opinions.  If you want 100% "reassuring acceptance", it’s not going to be found here. which comes from people–(at least some of them)–hiding the fact that they are straight from groups and organizations dedicated to outlawing and banning alternative medicine in the first place!!!!!

I’m not hiding any connection to anything … This is surely harassment.

You fear we might prevent someone from throwing their money down a rathole?  Prevent someone from doing something dangerously foolish, like those weeks-long laxative "purification" sessions? YAY! What i’d like to know is…..do we have to put up with the harassment of these deceitful fools

This is USENET … so yes, you do. It’s a public facility and as long as my news provider doesn’t mind what I say, your choices are limited to reading or not reading my posts.   and wouldn’t it be better if they were gone from this board?

Better for the quacks, their shills and their pimps, definitely. Bettterfo rthe generla public, no. Is this a good idea and is there any way to do it?–rb

Not on USENET. If you want a nice cozy spot where you can control who posts what, you have to start your own bulleting board system or forum.   Tsu — To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection. – Jules Henri Poincar
