Minutus

Interesting. On your personal bio, you state that you can't make a
decent income in natural medicine or something like that. Many of the
people dealing with the real trench issues of healing have to make
unorthodox homeopathic treatments just to take a patient out of pain
and work the interview at other visits. Oh I know this blows your
skirt up but those who can do, and those who can't pontificate. Back
off and increase your empathy towards the real healing issues and
practices.

natrumur, whoever you are

--I have to say that it was offensive to read your unpleasant message to Dave on a public list. First, civility would probably forbid such a statement, public or private, but sending it for others to read is really out of line. But I certainly assume that you intended it to be public, so I have no fear of responding myself.

You tell Dave that he needs to "increase his empathy." Pardon me--are you under the impression that you display any yourself? The tone in this writing--and I've taught college writing for a long, long time--is overwhelmingly self-righteous and preening. Further more, many of the things you say to him are phrased so nastily that any point you have to make is drowned out by your vitriol. Are you sure your constitutional remedy is Nat mur? They're usually such peaceful, laid back folks. Please, can we return to mutual respect in our communications, and decorum on the list?
