    Gee, thanks a bunch... Lady Mod

    Gee, thanks a bunch, Doc. I wouldn't call Northfield Acupuncture clinic though, I haven't worked there in over a year, nor am I a patient there any longer, my health problems were resolved. You are liable to be disappointed if you call sweetheart.

    I know what excuse that George gave to Len about why it was down for a brief time, but I take it with a grain of salt. I don't care why it was down, the same thing happened before and it was down a hell of a lot longer. It's back up and running and I suspect many who left will probably go back. And they will probably come here as well.
    Glad to hear your health problems were resolved - whatever they were.

    Now if you actually believe "many who left will probably go back" to scam.com, I think you're delusional.

    I doubt many of the regulars will be back posting there much - at least not as long as Lenny the Loser is running things there.

    As I said before, I like your style, even if we don't agree too often.

    But as for that piece of trash over there with the big "A" on his t-shirt that's just using up oxygen on this planet, why even waste the time posting something that the pompous prick is going to delete anyhow?

    Many are going back. So, I guess I'm not delusional.

    That could be true, but then that site will just end up getting a new batch of regulars. The site will recover.

    There are ways to post without making it easy for Len to come up with a reason to delete your post. Just takes a little creativity.
    It is a problem that he is so Pro-MLM. But it was also a problem having the site so against MLM too. Nothing is going to be a perfect
    match. I think it would have been better to not appoint an Admin and for George to have taken more interest in the site. I think a lot
    things could have been done differently in the last 5 years I've been a moderator there. For one thing, there are ways to automatically
    moderate the forums so that what has to be moderated by people effectively could be handled without having to spend hours and hours
    on the site. I've had more techy members on the site tell me about them and I've always tried to get George to implement them. SubJunk,
    could have actually done that for George, he had done some work for him on his other sites, but George didn't want to do that. I think
    he was too much of a tight wad for it or just didn't understand how it worked.

    Lots of people on both sites just use up oxygen on the planet Doc, just because they do doesn't mean you should throw in the towel and stop
    fighting the good fight yourself. You are letting one person dictate how you behave. Stop attacking that one person and focus on scams and
    you shouldn't have any problems. Or don't. I always liked your posts, at least any that ended up in the Political forum. I really didn't spend much
    time on the MLM forum. Once in awhile some topic would catch my eye and I would hang out there for awhile, but basically, that wasn't my preference. I don't know very many of the regulars on that forum that you guys keep talking about. Some names I recognize, others, I don't.

    I've told Len if he is going to participate in the threads then he has to lighten up and recognize that if you post and someone calls you out or calls your character into question a hundred times, you have three choices, address it a hundred times, address it once and ignore the rest, or ignore them all and carry on. He's going to have to spend a lot of time trying to keep those threads just to the topic. I'm thinking that allowing him to figure that out for himself and seeing where it will lead might be a good thing. That's just my opinion though. It seems that if you all left, then he won. No opposition.

    If you called the ball by leaving, you kind of gave up the right to complain about the consequences, IMO.

    You're really not wanted here. My suggestion is quit while you're ahead. Should you decide not to, I shall figuratively take you to the Texarkana slaughterhouse, hang you by your cloven hoofs (or hooves), slit you down the middle, expose you as the Medusa you are, rip out your guts, and call a hazmat team in to dispose of the toxic waste. That would be a major haul from the pics you've posted of yourself. Your choice.

    Not hard when it was a lame insult to begin with. You must be airplane pilot guy. Or No_Moron. Probably Tom. Nice screen name and it seems to suit you well so far.

    Threats? To what purpose? Would it help you sleep better at night?

    Who says I'm not wanted? You? And you are???? Apparently, not someone important enough to do more than make threats and post pictures like some juvenile delinquent. SoapBoxMom had some website do that to her, it's a pretty hateful site as well as being pretty stupid. So, you are going to drop to the same level as those guys and do that to me, here? Will using the same tactics they used against her somehow make you a superior or a better person? Do you really think doing that will make this forum look more legit?

    This is starting out as a really good site. Why don't you engage your brain and think twice before you decide to bring it's value down by trashing it up with your immature behavior?

    Actually, it's your choice whether or not you put the rules here to the test. Note rule #7. Then note that at the top of this forum it says the rules here are relaxed but not unmoderated.

    Since I'm not running a business, I'm not a scam. I'm not selling anything, I'm not trying to steal the traffic here, I just don't qualify as any reason to get so worked up over other than I moderate on another forum that you no longer like.

    So, basically, it's really YOUR choice whether or not you want this place to go down as nothing better than the site you so dislike. I don't think the increase in traffic for starting a pissing match with Lady Mod is what they had in mind here when they built this forum.

    But by all means, put their integrity and rules to the test. Prove whether or not they will be better enforcers than I have been.

    I'm curious to see what happens.

    Are you kidding me ????
    You're the worst kind of scammer.
    The kind who uses their position to push such monstrous lies as
    natural methods can cure cancer
    Natural methods can cure diabetes
    There is no proof the H.I.V. is responsible for A.I.D.S.

    Even Clements and Co pale into insignificance next to you and your kind.
    You're a complete and utter disgrace, and a low level one at that.
    At least they're only chasing the money, and not playing with EXTREMELY desperate and vulnerable peoples' health and wellbeing.

    Thanks for all of the advice and posting of the rules for me. I was just totally clueless. Now, my Dearest Princess of Darkness, I have a few questions for you and this is just the beginning. I would really appreciate it if you would respond to them honestly.

    1. Why did you return to scam.com after leaving in disgust and posting that lovely "Saying Goodbye" announcement? Afterall, George, your "very good friend" did in fact hire more mods and we cleaned up your mess. Yes, posts that went back for years. No, not ones that were just a year old, but years old. Why didn't you return to help out?

    2. Is it a fact or not that once the rules were modified by SBM after consulting with all of the other mods and I personally removed your "Saying Goodbye" announcement, you did in fact return within two days to reclaim your crown? Isn't that a coincidence?

    3. Did you or did you not give me holy hell for removing your announcement and jump all over SBM for modifying the rules because they no longer had your little name on them? They were basically the same rules with just a very few modifications. You jumped her big time.

    4. If you don't want to get into a "pissing match," then why are you on this section at all? What was your point of coming here? Some truce!

    That's all for right now. I do have a lot more but I'm just waiting to see if you'll respond with honest answers. And keep in mind that I have nearly every PM and email from you which I can use as proof in case you aren't exactly forthcoming with the truth. And no, I'm not "some pilot." You ain't that dumb.

    Anyone who sells or recommends unproven treatments for life threatening diseases has a tremendous personal responsibility to a victim of those diseases.
    Yep!

    The problem is, nutritional supplements can and do cure cancer and diabetes. But it takes a lot more of it than what you can ingest orally on a daily basis and I don't care how good your product is.

    However, it is half the equation. I've seen cancer reversed by Vitamin C and Hydrogen peroxide IV therapies, COPD reversed using Hydrogen peroxide therapy along with vitamin IV's.

    Potential in mice does not equate to treatment/prevention in humans.

    According to the American Cancer Society, there is no scientific evidence that hydrogen peroxide is a safe, effective or useful cancer treatment.

    More recently, intravenous (IV) vitamin C has been touted to have different effects than does vitamin C taken orally. This has sparked renewed interest in the use of IV vitamin C as a cancer therapy. However, there is still no evidence that vitamin C has any effect on cancer.

    Bravo, LRM for some very sound common sense comments and bravo, WT for reminding all purveyors of lotions and potions that people's right to hold their own beliefs pales into insignificance if, at the same time, they are persuading sufferers of mortal diseases that their lotions and potions will save their lives. It makes me sick to hear these unproven claims being sung by people who want to sell their products. Don't they care?

    There will always be dissenters to common proven treatments, including non conventional medical treaments. That doesnt give anyone the right to play russian roulette with the lives of mortally sick and desperate people. Sure there are great advances in the treatment of cancer, but noone has yet discovered the cure. We are still hoping and praying. There are foods to be eaten and foods to be avoided and other plant derived products that seem to help. And dont forget that the majority of pharmaceuticals are based on plants. I work with our cancer association and have seen first hand the benefits of good attitude and change in diet and the taking of suplements - principally in the area of prevention - but, as yet, I have never seen any guaranteed cures. I have also never seen any of the supplements used being from MLM companies either

    The same goes for HIV and AIDS. Noone who is fortunate enough to receive medications to control HIV (based on the premise that HIV and AIDS are linked and which are very expensive) is going to give them up for an MLM product and risk their life. Anyone who tries to tell them different is just plain irresponsible. If it is ever proved that there is no link, then so be it. Then qualified professionals who care about human life will surely develope treatments on that basis. Until such time we are back to the purveyors of these products putting their beliefs and desire to make money through them before their sense of humanity and responsibility.

    There's quite a good standard to use if you think these products are so great. Would you use them on your own child, if they were suffering from cancer or aids? I wouldn't and I'll bet 99.9% of the people who sell them wouldn't either. So much for "belief".

    The sickening aspect of the discussions by those who promote these products is that they hurl insults at the critics that they are anti-mlm zealots or some such nonsense. Maybe the critics are simply people who care?

    Or maybe, just maybe,

    the critics have seen at first hand and up close and personal what happens when one/some of these self appointed "experts" gets a hold on someone who has one of the diseases in question.

    By the very nature of that which we're discussing, there are none of their victims around to dispute the crap they spout.

    Hell, "sojustask" doesn't (or didn't) even know there is more than one type of diabetes,

    The silly woman still considers "cancer" to be a singular condition, treatable by a single therapy.

    "One size fits all" cancer therapy. What a concept.

    As for her ideas on the H.I.V./A.I.D.S connection and her assertion/s that the millions upon millions of current and deceased victims were all under some sort of conspiracy or illusion, the less said the better.

    Looks like someone deleted 1-4 pages of this thread. LM was called to task for her false medical claims, woeful lack of knowledge about basic anatomy, and inaccurate views on how the FDA works.

    Well if you are Ashanda, then you already know you went to the wrong forum and that the thread you were looking for is in the MLM forum and intact.

    A schmuck is an assault on my character and ad hominem, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Some people who have actually met me may agree with you.

    I have neither an axe nor a grinder, and I don't believe you will find any evidence of that. I have a POV and opinions, and am not beyond using snark and sarcasm to make a point. But I really have no axe to grind.

    Did you even post to that thread?
    Irrelevant. It should be obvious that I read it, and that is all that matters.

    ...and didn't twist or insult a person if
    they weren't exactly right about what they said.
    (my bolding)

    I'm not sure what you mean about this, but if it's my statement:

    LM was called to task for her false medical claims, woeful lack of knowledge about basic anatomy, and inaccurate views on how the FDA works.
    I stand by that statement--it is factual. If it's insulting, well, compared to:

    You are just some schmuck with an axe to grind.
    Well, there is no comparison.

    Then I apologize to you, Emet. Will you allow me to be wrong in my assumption and forgive my false accusation?
    Yes I will and I do.

    I think if you peruse my posts here or on other forums, you will be hard pressed to find me hurling ad hominem attacks or using vulgar or insulting language. Something I post may be interpreted as an insult, but there really is a difference between the two. (You are clearly ill informed vs. You are an idiot)

    My posting style is to present facts and opinions in a relatively non offensive way. They are often glossed over and ignored. (sniff) But that's okay with me.

    Actually, I didn't throw any false accusations your way. I posted here as there were already quotes associated with that thread in this thread about you. I believe I said here that someone deleted them, and that you had been called to task for your assertions.

    If I thought you had deleted them, I would have said so.

    I could take your statement here and say you are accusing me of being Ashanda, but I won't.

    If I thought you had deleted them, I would have said so.

    I could take your statement here and say you are accusing me of being Ashanda, but I won't.

    I am Spartacus.
    Then I apologize to you, Emet. Will you allow me to be wrong in my assumption and forgive my false accusation?

    Spartacus? Did you even post to that thread? Ashanda was very well informed and didn't twist or insult a person if
    they weren't exactly right about what they said. He was smart enough to actually see what people were trying to say
    even if they stumbled in trying to say it.

    And he posted good information about the FDA.

    And before you start gloating over that thread, read the entire thing. In the end, only Chris N decided that it was not OK for me to have my opinions, or my beliefs (at least I will walk my talk) whether they are right, wrong or even agreed with them.

    It's the small minded that can't allow others the same freedoms they themselves expect to receive.

    Even smaller minded are those who will try to make a big deal and a villian out of people whose belief doesn't match theirs and think that somehow makes them better.

    Of course everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs, BUT with the caveat that it doesnt give them the right to use their personal beliefs and opinions (and personal financial wellbeing) to persuade sufferers of terminal illnesses to try unproven and therefore possibly dangerous alternative treatments, instead of their safer and proven treatments - whether they are conventional medical or proven dietary treatments. Selling false hope is cruel and dangerous. When a dietary supplement or other product is discovered to cure any life threatening illness, it will be published worldwide and prescribed worldwide. It will not remain the "secret formula" of an MLM business that can give you "financial freedom".

    I guess villany is a relative term.

    Leaving personal financial well being out of the equation, what happens in the case where "safer and proven treatments" aren't effective?

    Somebody that's desperate is rightfully willing to try anything.

    Said "cure" may be unproven and therefore possibly dangerous, but isn't it worth the risk to the sufferer?

    And how did "safer and proven treatments" become safer and proven treatments in the first place?

    At one time they had to be unproven, and therefore possibly dangerous before being tested.

    Somebody had to be a guinea pig.

    All kinds of examples come to mind where supposedly safe and proven drugs didn't turn out to be safer and proven (thalidomide).

    Just askin', for the sake of discussion, ya know?

    The thread was cross posted, and remains intact. ( I only saw it in the medical section today-- as it was bumped up with the now false accusation that the thread had been scrubbed) It is also in the MLM section, but is now back a page or two. I had remembered 2 posters taking the opposite side, but that was only in the MLM section, the main one I read.

    Sorry for wasting so much space on the Interwebs with these two posts.
    A half-truth is a whole lie.
