gives those blackbirdies
one major high . . . until they come down, er, so to speak.
Sort of like what happens to indiscriminate believers?
That was uncalled for.
Mary, your recent (and not so recent) posts have been bigoted,
bulldoggish, clamorous, constant, continuing, crying, dogged, dogmatic,
fanatic, fixed, gritty, immutable, intolerant, mulish, obstinate,
overzealous, perseverant, plodding, refractory, relentless,
single-minded, stiff-necked, taxing, tenacious, tendentious, unabating,
unremitting, and willful.
What's worse, they've been boring.
You said you'd (at least) cut back the number of posts. You have not.
I really wish you would. Your many, many extremely negative posts are
bringing down the whole tone of the list. Your pertinacious screed is
depressing to read (whether or not I happen to disagree with it).
And what's worse, you are breaking the rules. For example, you said:
That a Nobel Laureate, Josephson
thinks there's merit to homeopathy doesn't make it so. It's still one
of the dumbest and lowest common denominators of junk science.
That is a perfect example of "proof by sneering".
Cut it out!
In fact, homeopathy, like chiropractic, persists in large part because
certain diseases have been found to respond better to it than to
conventional medicine. The theory is lacking in both homeopathy and
chiropractic, but patients mostly aren't concerned about that.
Do you homework before you sneer, and then do your sneering somewhere
other than Vortex.
(And don't expect ME to try to educate you on this off-topic issue which
YOU dragged into the discussion, apparently only so you could sneer at
it! If you've got any questions or responses regarding homeopathy, TAKE
THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE!)
