    What? Like a site owner that would call a poster a Wiglaf troll then conveniently avoid the thread pointing out the criticisms were accurate?

    You're right. Kudos to Tia.

      How do you troll Wiglaf??? That's like being a Rain Dancer in London (England)... entirely pointless

          So, Wezil's correct because the guy was a freak, not because the whole concept of working for a quack in the first place was unethical.

          I haven't seen anyone yet admit that Wezil was right about the fundamental issue, the ethics of working for someone committing fraud.

          It's not that this guy is a quack that turned Tia against him, it's that he's a freak. Which means nothing, because you can find freaks in every field, no matter how legitimate.

            Oh, i'd probably agree that working for someone actively committing real fraud is unethical. Whether or not eastern medicine is actually real (hurtful) fraud, or just relatively effective placebos, or even actually effective medicine, I don't know, or care (as I don't use it myself). I tend to believe that it is sometimes in all three groups, I suppose...

                Actually didn't see this thread till you bumped it weez.
                Don't know how, it was such a blatant title.

                  I didn't read the original thread until just now. I'm 80% on Weezils side. I think accupuncture and chiropractic and all that garbage is a slipperly slope between "harmless, but ineffective" and "dangerous fraud" depending on how it's marketed and practiced. Whether or not Tiamat has enough medical training to judge whether the accupuncturist is a fraud just a harmless massage therapist would ordinarly be another matter entirely, however, there's the little matter of...roundworms... lodging in the lungs...treated by... accupuncture...no, I'm sorry...that's fraud.
                  The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.

                      I'll agree mostly but I do know people that swear by some of these questionable methods. And If it works for them and is causing no harm, it's hard to trash it that much despite my feelings about them.
                      I took issue with something else which got a bit more heated then I would have liked so I'm not going to ressurrect it.

                        Agree.

                        Wasn't trying to reopen old wounds -- just felt that Wez didn't get much support for his side in the original thread -- it'd have piped in at the time if I'd seen it.

                          It was posted on a saturday morning ... since you don't check from the course, i'm guessing that's the reason

                                The other doctor only made an appearance for two hours once a week on Wednesday's and collect $500 for that as well as he was 70 years old semi retired. So frankly I don't think he cared. Anyway mute point.

Besides, life is way to short to waste it being negative. If someone is right then you give them the point. Wezil's with me Glad to see him back.
