Larry made good points and presented good evidence that swayed my thinking. I did not challenge his assertions because I could find nothing substantially wrong with them.
> Personally i'm all for a FACT based discussion
Fact-based means not hurling personal insults at people who do not share your views, which is pretty much all you've done.
> but as yet I've not seen you offer any.
Well, I suppose it's a case of your perception being reality.

I simply made the observation that the principles which underlie homeopathy are in violation of chemistry and physics. There is no factual basis for you to conclude that I am stirring.
You said in your last post:
> Klavot, I for one am beginning to find you quite objectionable.
Since you hardly even know me (quick: am I a boy or a girl?) there is no basis for you to say that you find me objectionable. At best, you might find my views on alternative medicine objectionable, or the way I conduct myself on this board. You really hurt my feelings, you know. Of course, it is easy to insult people over the internet, which is the place where cowards become brave.
It is hard to engage in a meaningful conversation with an intellectual fascist who is intolerant of people who do not share his views. You said:
> So without wishing to be rude, why don't you do us all a favour and go elsewhere and try and irritate people.
Well, actually, TJ, you were rude. I have consulted with my elders, and for the record, TJ, it's official: you're a dumbass. So why don't you go and play with your vitamins or something.

PS: Dear Psycho-Babble admninistration, I am sorry for violating your civility guidelines. You are free to block me. There is, after all, little point posting on a medical board where one is subjected to verbal abuse simply for questioning a particular form of medical treatment. But I feel that if you dish out insults like TJ did to me, you should accept the consequences.
