    What is with all the people attacking each other in newsgroups? It seems
    like every group has it's own set of people calling each other frauds and
    liars. Can't we all just get along? How do you get to the point, where you
    even care about someone (you have never met) enough to dedicate that much
    energy to attacking them?

    When health issues like whether one should be smoking addict; or a
    soda pop addict; or a coffee drinking addict; or a dairy consumer; or a
    cow's milk drinker; people have strong opinion and may strongly disagreewith
    one another.

    Just as the recent thread on whether dairy consumption and
    drinking cows' milk is harmful to the human body showed.

  2. The problem is that claims are made without an explanation that has a
    scientific basis. The free radical damage hypotheses are the best
    right now in this context. The evidence is overwhelming. The other
    claims are usually either the "correlations" stuff (and just about any
    2 things in the universe can be correlated) or they have their origin
    in free radical damage, lack of antioxidant protection, etc. In other
    words, the free radical claims are the one that make sense
    scientifically right now. There are things you can do that are simple
    and don't mean eating food that tastes bad. Do a montygram search for
    more specific posts.

  3. I agree with you 100%. It is ridiculous the amount of energy spent in
    attacking or ridiculing
    others even when just asking a question.
    These ones must never have heard their moms's tell them "If you don't have
    anything good to
    say, then don't"

    There's no need for this type of hostility.

  4. I think a lot of people get to let their frustrations and suppressed anger
    (their 'evil twins'😉 out on the newsgroups. These people would probably
    never talk this way face to face to people.

    Sort of like nice mild mannered people who become madmen/women when they get
    behind the wheel of a car.

  5. Yes, Cosmo, we've been saying that for years and years in
    alt.support.breast-implant newsgroup (which BTW could really give a rip
    about off topic issues on:
    alt.support.attn-deficit,misc.health.alternative,misc.kids.health,alt.health,sci.med.nutrition
    which the illustrious Ilena Rosenthal is driven to cross-post to. She will
    tell you it is all 'relative' and therefore necessary....and if you question
    her, you will get a [censored]-list webpage on the Humantics Foundation non-profit
    website (which BTW had it's status suspended for not filing mandatory
    forms....and more is yet to come.)

    Criticize all you want, but some mom's used to tell their kids that if
    someone is trying to cram a cucumber up your ass, make some noise.

    Stay tuned for the movie !!
    (And as Ilena would say to you....'if you don't like it, just move your
    little mouse!'😉

  6. Is Coleah's agreement that there is too much hostility and lack of civility
    here a joke by her or what? For her to imply that she is not the problem
    is laughable. Most apropos to her is that old adage of "the pot calling the
    kettle black."

    Coleah is not the problem. You and your handler, KARLa ROVEnthal are.

  8. More projection by you, Mr. Probert? Tsk, tsk.

  9. I can see where people are upset by false claims. Which I suppose all comes
    down to what you call a "claim". If by sharing that something helped improve
    your health or that of a loved one is called a claim, I do not feel that is
    not a false claim. They are just saying, "Hey this worked for me, it could
    work for you! Check it out"

    Claim: A statement of something as a fact; an assertion of truth:

    People make "claims" everyday. Have you ever said to a friend, "Hey I just
    saw "Finding Nemo" ( or some movie), that was a great kids movie, you have
    to watch it! " Does your friend then "attack" you for making a "claim"

    Just curious....

    Not at all. I have no handler, but you, and your 'fellow' Hyena, Jan
    Drew have your snout so far up KARLa ROVEnthal's ass that it appears
    that she has two tongues.
