Again why are we playing doctor on the net?

What a stupid suggestion! You suggested that the person might have an
illness. In response to your diagnosis, I have made a suggestion in
moderate and qualified terms.

Shouldn't that decision be made by that person and his/her physician?

Yes. And I did not say or suggest otherwise. But it is you who made
the individual sick.

I don't agree with Jack's analysis. The energy consumed in travelling
to Europe and back is so great that the use of a fan is trivial by
comparison.

But I share his sense of irritation. Why travel at all if you want the
places you visit to be just like home?

Again the quick judgement.

In your rush to comment on my post, you made your own quick judgement.
I wrote about my being irritated. I did judge, from the tone of Jack's
post, that he too was irritated. But he actually addressed the
question. You are doing nothing except pronouncing judgements.

How is having a fan, for whatever reason,
make it "just like home". If the person needs to take a specific
prescription medication and can't travel without it, does that make it
"just like home"?

I made an inference. You are not going to persuade me that my
inference is mistaken.

OP asked a simple question, and everyone rushes in to condemn.

Get a sense of proportion: Jack and I do not quite add up to
"everyone". And the question was not all that simple. Now that you
provoke me, I will say that I considered it a stupid question: it
would make far more sense to buy a fan in the Czech republic.

Why, instead of tangling with me, did you not make any helpful
suggestions?

In Central Europe you rarely need air conditioning at night. It can
get quite hot in July and August, but humidity tends to be low and
temperatures fall at night.

No lecture on my giving of relevant information?
