Well, you could filter out any posts by Jan and Ilena. That
would be a start. ;-)

I don't know what Outlook Express allows you to do (Outlook
Express? That's like hanging a big sign on your computer
that says "hack me".)

But if you can filter out every posting that starts with
"Re:", that should avoid most of the flamage. Of course,
it'll also avoid most of the articles, but you will see
much of the spam. You didn't say whether you wanted to
avoid spam...

Beyond that, you could avoid reading anything written by
Ilena or Jan, since that's mostly flamage. If you want to
avoid "ignorant," cut out Dave Wickware, "DRCEEPHD," and
Todd Gastaldo.

You'll have to form your own conclusions about other posters
or topics. My killfile is set to get rid of any posting with
"circumcision" in the subject line, for example.

Set your filters to ignore Jan Drew.

Most newsgroup readers have a preferences section where you
can block messages by author, by title, by subject, or by
their domain name.

This is why most of the worst offenders change their names
daily. You simply have to ignore their posts entirely.

David lies. What he means is we post what is really
happening in organized medicine and the *gang* can't stand
the truth.

David overlooks real flamage, lies and despicable posts.

John,

I hope that you develop many serious disabilities.

I hope that Jan Drew installs 2 dozen amalgams in
your molars.

I hope that you bathe with a plugged-in hair dryer.

I hope that OJ Simpson suspects you of being "the real
killer" of Nicole Brown & Ron Goldman.

I hope that Karma continues to run over your dogma.

Why, because you are a VILE, SPAMMING, PIECE OF [censored].

(John Bain) said:

In this case, Andrew stated that the Florida
statutes defined

'disharmonies'.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

It is obvious from the statutes, which are on-line,
that they do not.

There is no need to bother anyone else. Wrong again,
John. I gave the number for the Acupuncture Board. Do
you think they won't know the scope of practice or that
disharmonies (acupuncture diagnoses) are valid
diagnoses in Florida?

That is not what you said, Andrew. You insisted that
'disharmonies' were defined in the Florida statutes.
They are not.

Quoted message said:

Do you think that my school's academic dean wouldn't know
our licensing and accreditation?

Quite irrelevant, the legal definition of disharmonies is
the issue..

Quoted message said:

This is sad, John. You hate sarcasm so badly that you are
willing to lie in order to call me a liar.

You are the one who said 'disharmonies' was defined in the
Florida statutes. Do you deny this? kaalga has posted and
reposted your exact words.

Quoted message said:

You know that licensing board & my school's academic dean
are VALID sources on this topic. You are lying in order to
further Kaalga's lie and demonstrate that beautifully in
your Evasion of confirmation. Bad Boy, Johnny!

They have nothing to do with the Florida Statutes, which are
available on-line for anyone to read. Unfortunately you
eiither cannot understand them, or you are a liar.

Quoted message said:

He hopes we will give up and go on to another topic and
let him get away with deliberately trying to deceive.

Yes, that is my motive for posting the phone# of the
licensing board. I'm hoping to obscure the topic by
insisting that you confirm my claims.

Exactly, the licensing board is not responsible for the
Florida Statutes. They license.

Quoted message said:

I have contacted Habib who has agreed to call my school
on behalf of the NG. He will ask the academic dean the
pertinate questions and any others have may have and
will post the results. He will be back from vacation
around the 14th, so it will posted sometime after that.

What questions, Andrew. The only answer we wish from you is
the number of the Florida statute which defines
'disharmonies' or an apology for stating it did. That is the
issue and you will not be allowed to evade it.

Quoted message said:

I understand your weakness in not being able to separate
the messenger from the facts. You represent this constantly
and not just on this topic.

Only messengers who deliberately lie to try and win points.

Quoted message said:

You are blinded by your aversion to my prior sarcasm that
you simply must label me a liar.

No, your words make the case. You said 'disharmonies' was
defined in the Florida statutes. It is not. You lied to
make a point.

Quoted message said:

You have gone so far as to speculate that my school
wouldn't have anyone who could handle the call without even
anecdotal evidence. Ditto for the State Board.

Please tell us why you think there is an expert in the
Florida Statutes at your school and which statute they would
refer us to. Ditto the licensing board.

All we need is the statute number for 'disharmonies' and
they can not supply that because it does not exist.

Quoted message said:

So, if Habib told you he called my school, spoke with
the Dean, and confirmed what I said, would you accept
Habib's word?

Not without the statute number. We are only interested in
the number of the statute which defines 'disharmonies'.

Quoted message said:

Even if you don't believe the information itself, would you
not accept his account of the incident as far as what he
asked & heard?

Irrelevant, Statute number is all we need. But we have
already examined the statutes and there is no reference to
'disharmonies' there.

Quoted message said:

If you won't take my word nor that of the institutions
involved nor that of a neutral 3rd party, then you have
clearly labeled your position.

Statute number or apology. Our position is perfectly clear.
You stated several times that 'disharmonies' was defined in
the Florida statutes. Either give us the statute number or
aplologise for making the mistake.

Perfectly simple Andrew. Stop dodging the issue. Admit you
made a mistake. Or be branded a liar.
==============================
(this is what I received from my query)

Disharmonies" is not defined in 457 or 64B1 which is the
Acupuncture statute and rules. He must have found a
definition in a statute that I am unfamiliar with. If you
would like to file a complaint, you may contact our
complaint section at: 850-414-7209. "Disharmonies" is not
listed in the scope of practice of an acupuncturist.

That's barely a start.

Loser!

Andrew/Ilsa is just one of life's failures.His sole purpose
in life is to serve to remind decent folk what decent really
means.I guess you could say that his role creates comfort
for many people so thatthey can read what comes up from the
bottom of the cesspool.It is a tough job Andrew has taken on
but he certainly is imminently qualified to wade up to his
neck in the wastage of his own life.

Yes. We who do this are offering everyone an opportunity to
exercise self control. However, these people who cannot
control themselves and respond, blame the person who changes
their email address, and not their lack of self-control.

I find that tragic that they are in such denial.
