You would suggest that 15 or more persons are posting thousands of
times each week in defense of mainstream medicine to protect the rest
of us from...what? Spray-on analgesics? Erection-stimulating herbals?
I haven't tried that one, by the way. Vitamin E? That must be it:
"E" for Evil vitamin. Or the zapper (shock hazard?) We all so very
much appreciate your crusading on behalf of less intelligent consumers
like myself, who might commit the unpardonable sin of losing $20 or $50
on something with a perfectly good alternative on the shelf at the drug
store, or dispensible by prescription. So then, does that mean you're
*protecting* us, or *promoting* something else you prefer us to buy?

I've gone around the block with you quite a bit, as you know, starting
last year. I will make an observation. You are a very rational
person, but you utilize that reason to avoid resolution of conflict
introduced in debate. You don't seek resolution, or even a stale-mate,
but complete anullment of the other's views. It's a Pharma Blogger
tactic and it isn't normal human behaviour except when the intransigent
part is always psychotic. I see just two possibilities: 1) You and 15
others are clinically insane; or 2) You and 15 others are paid media
workers whom I refer to as "PharmaBloggers." Your behaviour has
reinforced this view over and over.

I trust others to think for themselves. In fact, I don't permit brain
dead people in my life. You and your fellow Pharma Bloggers assume
everyone is stupid and falls for your lame evasions, distortions, and
sappy bromides. I've proven your team-mates wrong again and again,
starting last year when I opened with a discussion about vitamin C and
Big Pharma's failed attempt to manufacture a cure for scurvy. As for
vitamin C, ask Mark Thorson about his "review" of the vitamin C study
addressing kidney stone formation, and my rebuttal. Not one of your
team-mates bothered to stand up for the truth then, or now, as Mark
vehemently denied butchering the facts. And you expect us to believe
all this is not intentional? You're either a lunatic or a Pharma
Blogger: take your pick.
