[This is what you can expect if you post alternative medicine advice or information on alt.support.cancer. This is just from one person "J", probably Quackwatches S. Barrett (as "she" recommends you report people to sbinfo@quackwatch.org which is Barretts e mail addy)--a combination of abuse & medical propaganda, trying to get readers to block your posts, and when that fails to deter you reporting you to your ISP for "abuse".]
If you or a loved one has been quacked by Howard Strauss (grandson of Max Gerson) at Gerson Center in Arizona, contact Quackwatch at email: sbinfo@quackwatch.com
If it (laetrile) had any value for treating cancer, drug companies would have developed it into a treatment long ago.----

If you cannot filter them, pretend that you can. Do not reply to their
posts. Or click on thier posts, delete everything and type "plonk".
With some newsreaders, when you hit the spacebar (on your keyboard), the
newsreader goes to the next "unread" post. That makes it easier to skip
certain posters.
[Abuse, and they come in teams]
I did not. we have a team to fight off quacks like you.

George, plonk that "john". He spreads scare tactics and conspiracy theories

[This is a lie, see Suppress alternatives]
If it worked against cancer, it would not be "alternative" anymore.
It would be used conventionally.

Almost all yout alternatives have been disproven. Use the archives to reread
Peter Moran's post.
I know you saw it because you're in the thread on that discussion.
*tip for you for searching archives" type disproven and unproven and Peter
Moran as the author.

For now, shut him down (like I suggested) by reporting him to his ISP.

If anybody out there has time and the energy to report him, select his posts,
then show full headers (I'll post them), then insert the blurb and forward to
his ISP.

BT Yahoo you have a dial-up subscriber that posts links to his web site
whale.to in violation of alt.support.cancer Charter and Usenet AUP. John
does not have cancer. John does flood the newsgroup with his posts, nearly
all of them have nothing to do with cancer support. Many are outside of the
topic for the newsgroup.
Please enforce your Usenet AUP.
When you grow up, let us know.
"Jorge" has been trolling cancer newsgroups for years.
According to Google, his name appears to be Justin Martin, 27 years old.
Such wisdom (sarcasm).
"Jorge"s" mother died in 1998.
He's still trying to figure out who gets the house she left him, when he dies.
Jerry report him for trolling...please (you'll find him trolling the prostate
cancer newsgroup also)

I sometimes wonder if he gets paid by them (for posting the web pages for
them)
and that's how he makes his living.
