People, please. I just want to talk about nutrition and learn from all of you without making enemies (or friends, for that matter). I've asked a simple question here. If you can help answer it, please do; if not, please just move along. This is a medium that gives you complete control over what you spend time reading.
Jim, I suppose, given your history, it was only a matter of time before you tore into me personally too. I'd just ask you to consider that in previous posts I've:
- thanked you for your thoughtful remarks
- called you smart
- called you right and myself wrong
all very sincerely. The worst thing I've said to you was asking you nicely to stop abusing other members. Anyway, I think readers can see for themselves that your attempt to project your own nasty behavior onto me is baseless, that I haven't stooped to anything like your ongoing pattern of personal attacks and demagoguery, and that you're the one, not me, who's been picking fights from your very first post: http://drmcdougall.com/forums/viewtopic ... 8635#68635
I don't doubt that Dr. McDougall described "support" as an essential function of his board; of course it is! The question is whether he meant it in the restrictive sense you and Karin invoke to claim that he meant to prohibit discussion (for which you still haven't offered a shred of evidence). In any case, you anti-debaters have stated your opinion at least 10,000 times. Must you reiterate it in response to every last Heretic post? Sheesh.
Edit: Karin: Anna points out below my insulting use of "delusional" (of your claim, not you personally, although I admit the distinction is pretty fine). Sorry; I felt frustrated and made a bad choice of words. I meant only to say that you'd made an unsubstantiated claim, not to get personal or suggest that you actually suffer from delusions in the clinical sense. Please accept my apology.
