[SB Harris is a heavy weight Allopath flamer who tries to intimidate anyone not using the Allopathic hymn sheet, on newsgroups like news:misc.health.alternative. His bark is worse than his bite, bit like the Wizard of Oz, as Allopathy is built on shifting quicksand.]
Favourite words: COMMENT, You Moron! Paranoid schizophrenic.
Steve Harris:
Possibly. But people who do know me in life and also read
me on the net say the opposite. Something like "Why are you
so much more sarcastic in print than in life?"
My answer is that I don't have to deal with too many loons
in meat-space, having purged all of them from my non-cyber
life (thankfully none were blood relations, so this was
possible). Here on the net, though, you meet raving nuts
from all over. I'm of the opinion that those who sound
initially sane but clearly are not, are helpfully pointed
out like rattlesnakes on a trail.
Anonymous John thinks he knows more than an entire
profession about everything the profession does. That kind
of thing hasn't been possible for anybody in the hard
sciences since the Enlightenment (for a good three centuries
at least), and even in an applied science trade like
medicine, it hasn't been possible at least since WWII. Worse
still, John quotes from people who are even bigger
megalomaniacs than he is. All seem to have that most basic
problem of the subclass of the mentally ill who have
personality disorders: they are liars without integrity.
John seems to be their representative in cyberspace. In the
Matrix of Usenet he is a cyst full of noxious fluids, a boil
full of puss, a giant gasbag full of hot air. I have a whole
lab full of needles. I recommend the treatment of Becton and
Dickinson here. You might not feel the #30 too much, but by
the time we get to the #18, there will be a sliiight
pinch....SBH
