Anyway.
Have you seen the attacks on Sarah for going in and having a conversation with them? Its just awful. And they say Kathleen is bad. Wow.
The cool thing is, you cannot get banned from sci.med.
I was attacked for trying to speak to Kathleen. Was told to ignore her. ONE they don't ignore her, they bait her...then attack everyone else.
Truth is, even if they were ignoring her, obviously it doesn't make her go away. I see the point about the spam and the ranting and so forth BUT I think the girl needs help not beat on more. Though I have my doubts that she will ever trust another human being again.
So, I have a proposal. Join, LE. Lets go have a conversation. About Lyme disease. I don't care what topic. Something SHE would find interesting...like the bugs or something. And ignore the ones who are trashing...AND we will engage NO ONE.
My idea is once the falming starts, we let it go ignored a bit as a science project before responding, explaining that "We thought if we ignored you, you'd go away"
Sound like fun?

I got bored and tried to engage a bit, but would still like to try above-mentioned idea.
Oh, and BTW, do you get to approve who joins here or who can see what we post or whatever?

I have it set up so that I have to approve all new members before they're allowed to post. I will probably open membership back up completely one of these days, as the HealingWell issues seemed to have resolved and don't appear to be returning.
Perhaps I will join up at sci.med ... I'm just not sure how much more conflict I feel like dealing with right now. It seems like half of what I write over at LNE brings some old debate back into the forefront, and while I appreciate your and Rita's comments I'm getting pretty tired of defending myself against the hard heads and having pot-shots taken at my intelligence and such just because my opinions are not mainstream. Luckily I have a thick skin, but dealing with that can still be unduly draining. I'm sorry ... I'm at the tail end of my bad week and the fatigue has been royally kicking my rear since Tuesday.
I'm sure I'll have a different attitude about this in a few days, once I've completely cleared this funk ... I definitely agree that the treatment toward Kathleen is anything but right.

Maybe a little mischief will help clear your funk...lol
Its only really one person. And that one person on europe is just the way she is. She picks me apart too. I tend to ignore it.
Most of them, unless they get hot and bothered, at least are glad you stick up for what you believe even if you don't agree!

I usually try to limit myself to two hours of "online stuff" a day ... today, it seems, became an exception. I exalted you ... maybe that should have been a "smite"....

I'm sorry ... I think that place might just be too much for me. I like to avoid conflict, whenever possible....

I understand.
It was actually because I was having a decent conversation with someone who seemed reasonable.
That's what I get for being bored.
Anyway...if I can have a reasonable conversation I'll stay. If not I won't.
I am of the belief that the newsgroup COULD be rebuilt if it wasn't for the paranoia over there.
Kathleen isn't the only problem.
I went in, all bored and looking for a little mayhem...found a decent conversation...and you get feeling like you are being run off. Keep wathing tho...maybe try again another day.
Anyway...doesn't seem any worse than Euro. Some ways its better.

I might give it another shot one of these days ... maybe when things there blow over a little. It is true that there are a few random diamonds in the rough there, but right now it's just not worth wading through all of the crap....

lol...there is a lot of crap.
Honestly, I'm not sure...it could ALL be the same person or two people posting as different personalitites for all I know. I'm going to play with it.
I haven't come up with a reply over at euro yet. I had some PM's when I came in today and its been rough over there a bit. Haven't decided what I want to think or what I want to say.
Its still Monday and I am still running on only 2 1/2 cylanders I think.
I hope cobby's job is going well.

You should come back and just post in that "how rude" thread you started tho.
At least we could start a conversation about lyme!
