Reply #70: Desertrose, That's Untrue And Unfair. [View All]

[arwalden]

You may question my motives and believe as you choose, Rose. But, I have expressed no outrage. What outrage are you referring to? How absurd for you to suggest that I wasn't (or wouldn't be) opposed to messages that advocating killing someone or overthrowing our government! What an insult! I don't deserve that.

>> Why has this suddenly been brought up in the first place? <<

I don't know. Skinner's post brought it to my attention. If there's more to it, then I'm unaware of what might have gone before. The other accusations and personal attacks are--on the face of it--totally ridiculous.

Skinner's post appeared to be an invitation for public comment. I commented. I've expressed my opinion, and the Admins are welcome to place any value on it that they desire. They may take it to heart or they may discard it. That would be *their* choice, not yours.

Wouldn't it be better to offer counterpoint arguments instead of posting such an intense message with all these personal accusations?

>> These are the same things we have been posting in the MR for ages. <<

It was wrong when it was going on in the Meeting Room too--I've said so--I've been consistent on that. My stated opinion here should be no surprise to you.

>> The joy you take in debunking and baiting those who don't agree with you is well known... <<

How is this relevant to my opinions on this matter? Answer: It's not! (And I take issue with the "baiting" comment.) Any enjoyment I may get from debating facts and debunking myths are irrelevant to whether or not my opinion about the legal risks associated with dispensing online medical advice and recommendations.

What you're doing here is arguing against the MESSENGER and not against the merits of my message itself. Sigh.

>> Please do not expect me to believe that you are more concerned with the welfare of Skinner & DU than you are with your own crusade... <<

My comments were not *about* you, nor were they *for* you. I do not "expect you to believe" anything. You will believe as you choose to believe. I know that.

In any case, I've stated my opinion and the Admins are free to do with it as they wish. I have no interest in--nor would it serve any meaningful purpose to continue--'debating' this any further with you.

By the way, your scorn and low opinion of me has been duly noted.
