But, it's an alternative medicine. If this were a standard medicine echo would drugs that are illegal on the street but legal to prescribe be "off limits" too? I think not. It's just the biased mindset of the moderator that makes certain alternative medicines on topic, and others not. That is pure ignorance. --- * CMPQwk #1.42* Science has no conscience. --- HyperMail! v1.22 * Origin: CENTRAL PARK WEST - FOLSOM CA - 916.351.1476 PPI 33.6!

The quality DS>of the echo has gone down to where no one posts except for endless DS>arguments. The interesting, informative people have either left in DS>disgust or just don't post anymore.... I'd tend to believe that this is because of a lack of rational thought, and action, on the moderators part. Oh yeah, that's you. If you allow flamers like Jane to hurl insult upon injury, at will...while coming down with an illogical and baseless proclamation that "certain herbs are off limits" because of their illegality in certain areas of the United States...then, it is YOU that are promoting disharmony and discontent. The first thing I saw when I hit this echo, months ago, was you virtually SCREAMING in a angst ridden tizzy. Your ability to moderate effectively is non-existent. You irrational tantrums are not something that should be expected from a moderator. You should hang it up. Leave such pursuits to people that have control and a thinking mind. If you hadn't noticed, people were debating much....with reasoned and thoughtful conduct (well, except Jane) until you goose-stepped in like a little Nazi and forbid a certain alternative medicines discussion. That is the style you demonstrated when I first came upon this echo (as I stated in the prior paragraph). It was such a shock to me I commented about it. It turned out, to my surprise, that YOU were the moderator. It wasn't a scene that I would have expected from one, and I've seen ALLOT of moderation styles. Sure, FIDO isn't a democracy...but, at least a proclamation should have a logical reason. AND, the moderator should possess at least a minimum standard of knowledge on the issue of the echo. A modicum of restraint is also a reasonable thing to expect. You see, moderators generally attempt to keep the flames DOWN, not incite them. --- * CMPQwk #1.42* Fear not, for you are dead. --- HyperMail! v1.22 * Origin: CENTRAL PARK WEST - FOLSOM CA - 916.351.1476 PPI 33.6!
