Dave said:Some people here choose ignorance, and as a result behave in an
ignorant manner.
Dave, I'm glad you finally recognized your behavior for what it is.
Recognition and admission of your ignorance is the first step in
correcting it. ;-)
Quoted message said:I came here to help people.
So you say, as you push a MLM scam
Quoted message said:I found something very
powerful that seems to have upset these people. It is ginseng.
No, believe it or not, it is not the ginseng that has annoyed people. It
is your making ridiculously overblown and inflated claims for the
benefits of your specific ginseng preparation that has annoyed people.
It is your routine making of claims that have no evidence to back them
up that has upset people.
But you won't get it that it's about your behavior and not necessarily
the ginseng, will you?
Quoted message said:In
order for you to get some I sell it.
Of course you do. None of us are surprised by that.
Quoted message said:These people who can't sell it
appear to be jealous of me because I might make some money and they
can't.
Oh, please. Spare me the self-pity. I could damned well sell ginseng if
I decided I wanted to, and so could any number of people who have posted
refutations of your assertions, if they had a mind to sell it. If I were
really unscrupulous (which, fortunately, I'm not), I could even use my
position as a physician to push the product far more convincingly than
you've been doing with your lame babble. (At the very least I could make
my pseudoscientific babble sound a hell of a lot more convincing than
yours does.)
I choose not to sell or even prescribe ginseng because I have not been
convinced of its efficacy in treating diseases and conditions I commonly
deal with. Maybe that's being conservative. If I see good scientific
evidence that it is effective for treating diseases I commonly see, I
would certainly consider adding it to my armamentarium.
Quoted message said:They seem to be jealous of you who might be helped by it so
they attack me in an attempt to chase you away.
No, we are concerned that someone without the background knowledge to
recognize your claims as bogus might forego effective treatment in favor
of yours.
Quoted message said:In a civilized
society this would be considered uncivilized behavior.
No, what's really uncivilized (and also unethical) is making grandiose
claims for an herb that don't stand up to the light of scrutiny--as you
routinely do--in order to make money selling said herb.
Quoted message said:It is
completely ignorant.
Says the one who can't even tell us how ginseng supposedly enhances the
immune system.
Quoted message said:So, let me hear from all who read here. Do you think these people are
happy? Answer YES or NO.
The most unhappy person here appears to be you. Perhaps it's because you
didn't expect anyone to be critical of your claims.
