But can we leave everything alone we don't agree with? We are dealing with someone who is trying to take our hard-earned money in order to use our desperate hopes of relief to his advantage. That isn't such an impossible task for quite a few of us here. Desperation leads us to try anything that we are told might help. I tried in the begining to ask Daniel to drop it and go elsewhere. He wouldn't listen and saw his marketing potential on this board quite a good one. I figured him out to be an opportunistic parasite very quickly and decided he needed to be treated as one. My reasoning being that there are many people who come here without a lot of knowledge about CHs and can easily be conned by him, giving them their money to try this BS cure. Mainlt newbies, presumably. And in about a year, newbies searching the archives. So he needs to be called and not only called but it needs to be made obvious he is trying to scam people.
Now, altruism aside, his crappy motivations have also made him a fun target for me. Hopefully some of this makes sense for why the back and forth for you.
