Default This is a great forum

I love discussing alternative medicine / treatments. I was banned from a COPD forum for posting alternative treatments.

I completely agree saved 1986!

I am grateful too, and would like to express my thanks to Kevin and all those who make this forum what it is!

One thing that is different about this forum is the fact that there is no bickering, fighting, hurling of insults, display of hatred, etc. among members.

TRUE But then again, most of us share a common view: There is an alternative to orthodox medicine for many conditions. Some boards can be quite vitriolic. A friend of mine joined a board for a resort island in Mexico and all he did was ask about jet skiing opportunities. A number of people shot back nasty comments about jet skiers being annoying.

The common view about alternative medicine was shared on a forum where I was a member. But one would have sworn that some members knew each other personally and were reigniting old disputes and fighting old wars.

Yes that is refreshing, isn't it.
However there is nothing wrong with having an opinion and expressing it and debating its merits. But those that descend to name calling and insults are just proving that they do not have the facts to back up their argument.

Some of those people were very knowledgeable and provided lots of informtion to back up their arguments. Perhaps arrogance made them intolerant to the views of "lesser mortals."
