I feel for the mods and would like to apologize for my part in making their lives very difficult today.

Seriously, I strive to stay within the rules but I can't seem to stop responding to the people who call me names and accuse me of being a paid operative.

I very rarely alert and I don't know if that's a help or a hindrance when you consider that the alleged accuser is destroying their own credibility with every abusive post.

1. I know what you mean...

As I said there, I don't mind if someone attacks me in general terms or calls me a fool, etc.; but attacks that impugn one's real-life actions or motivations (real or imagined) are beyond the pale.

I post on another forum which many people find too controversial, and manage to get on fine there, and don't think I've had a post deleted in the last year! But the Health forum can turn me into a shrieking harpy in five minutes!

Though one thing I've been trying to do lately is kick and comment on some of the NON-vaccination/Gardasil threads, many of which contain very interesting info, in order to bring some of them to the top. After all, it is supposed to be the Health Forum, not just the evils-of-Gardasil forum.

2. Thank you for doing that, your positive comments got my attention.

It's impossible to discuss science when many people don't even understand what it is.

They seem to think it is some sort of political or moral ideology. :wtf:
