Actually, the definition for "blatantly" would be "done openly and unashamedly." If she said "this is my business" than it would be blatantly. What she said was that she was a chiropractor and then went on to say she went to a certain place.
She also said

is she all of these things too? She's got 3 jobs and needs customers so bad she is putting up slick "fooled you" ads on a cluster headache site? How likely does that really seem? Or was that just a curve ball because she knows we must already be on to her?
No one should be surprised that she did not come back. If you come on to a board thinking you can help people, attempt to help people and are just met with suspicion, rude responses and attempts to discredit you based on someone's paranoid conspiracy theories that are not based on 1 fact whatsoever, you leave. I would too. In fact, I did leave for a couple years after Potter said pretty much the same thing when I recommended that peppermint essential oil can be helpful for some of the lighter clusters you get. I was not selling anything but damn was he convinced that he knew the story and that I needed to be chased off the board.
Almost 10 years later and I really couldn't tell you how many people have thanked me for the peppermint trick. I still use it because it works quite effectively. The people that found it helpful did have to wait 3 or 4 years before I would come back on the board though because I really didn't feel like dealing with people like Potter. I can only guess as to the number of well meaning people out there that have been chased off the board by him.
That's the gist of it. You get a post like this and you can attack the person and their ideas until they go away and you will never really know if their idea held any water. If you entertain the idea that MAYBE you are not an all knowing being that knows the reasons behind the things people post and know everyone's hidden agenda, and have a tiny bit of patience to ask some questions before tearing someone apart, we might get more answers.
Worst thing that happens if the person has some sort of nefarious agenda and you ask questions instead of jumping the gun is that you waste a little time before you call them out.
Worst thing that happens if you immediately call somebody out that was just trying to help--you miss out on potential helpful remedies for cluster headache.
No one anywhere has the ability to accurately determine peoples motives based on one post like this. To say otherwise is extreme arrogance and does not help us get to the truths that we so desperately need.
