Repressive effect of bullying

[John Harvey]

Irene, have you noticed what has occurred in the past several hours on discussion of a vital topic -- the nature of this "homoeopathy" we wish to unite to save? It's basically ceased, thanks to the repressive effect of your bullying.
Its acme in your clueless threats is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately. You treat any discussion or question as an invitation to advertise yourself, you treat the most inane presumptions as givens, you criticise those who actually understand homoeopathy's meaning and use the word that way, and you have the utter gall to repeatedly accuse anybody who disagrees with you of criticising you.
Personally, I think it's time you were thrown off the list for irrelevance, inaccuracy, and impertinence, and I can't think why Soroush and whoever else moderates here didn't do it years ago. How have other lists put up with you -- or have they? Would the assumption that you're welcome on any other list be as accurate as the assumption that there was anything to the story of the burglary and vandalism of your home?
I reckon you should at least go and stick your head in a bucket of water to freshen up. Your attitude is old, and your will to become the new Hahnemann, only more better, is stifling and repugnant. You could do so much good on this list if you could just get over yourself. So how about it?
Ciao, and goodnight, folks --
John

Hello John Harvey
I agree - this is not the list to air grievances or personal problem. The attacks that go on on this list is revolting. And it is not only Irene who is involved in this. You know who you are !!! Please if you have so much vigor then organize and put your vinegar to good use. But leave this list as a Homeopathy discussion and - like John said don't take yourselves so terrible serious. You do not see Doctors attacking each other - they stick together - seems like its working for them.

John - the reason why the comments have ceased is because YOU are incapable of being civil to anyone who opposes you. You are critical, nit-picking, offensive and are unbelievably long-winded to boot!
You have exhausted me - and others, as I know from 'off-list' exchanges that we have had about you. I have tried to argue politely - now I have had enough, I'm afraid.
There are differences of opinion about many things - note them, disagree politely, state your point of view succinctly and move on.
Otherwise, find yourself a good homeopath and make sure they start your case with the rubric 'INTOLERANT OF CONTRADICTION'

Thanks, Gisela; thanks, Liz, for the feedback. Good to know.

Cheers!

Bullying? Wow...
Maybe it would be useful if *all* negative commentary is to be offered
privately, so that it doesn't keep escalating.

(For the record, I disagree with absolutely everything you've said
below, but oh well.)

Seriously, folks--could the negativity please go private so the list
doesn't rip itself to shreds? Any more than has already happened, I
mean?

And this type of reply is what - what sort of description would you offer here.

Is it civil, non critical, non nit picking - best you stay off list chatting then. "Dictatorial" comes to mind for your homeopath - see how silly it can get. Stick to homeopathy discussion, please
