Side note: I read the original "Requiem for a quack":

and in the comments there you will find a veritable carnival of delusion, obvious fraud, and denial.

1. Thank you!

I was just coming over here to shamelessly plug my own thread! :hi:

The denial will be strong here too, anyone want to start a pool on how many people will actually research Miss Clark before attacking Orac, me, and/or DU skeptics and scientists in general?

3. I don't need a pool to know

that if even one of them attacks you or any other skeptic, that's one too many.

Many of them are too dim to see past their own nose when it comes to their beloved woo masters and woo treatment.

2. I can't tell if this is ironic or apt

poetic justice perhaps

4. Jesus, I just read the original site

and I knew she was a quack of truly epic stature, but I had no idea of the amount of cruelty that woman could summon.

Edentulating patients and having their gums sliced open and the bone underneath scraped repeatedly because of totally bogus "test" results? That woman must have studied under Dr. Mengele!

The punch line that her legacy is a line of corpses is inadequate to the monstrosity of that woman's practice.

This is one of those times I hope there is an afterlife and that all the people she tortured and killed are lining up to meet her again.

5. Proves that the Cure doesn't work; not that I ever thought it did...

There are some real loonies about.

6. no, no, it still works

she just didn't BELIEVE hard enough
